Identify the problem
Write down everything that frustrates you about your garage so you can be sure you address those problems when you put your new plan in place.
Identify areas of interest
As you begin to plan, group things you use together in the same area, such as all gardening equipment should be kept together. Then store them near where you use them. Pantry storage should be near the door to the house, and the lawnmower should be near the garage door.
Start with what you use
Items you use frequently should be easy to see and reach. Once you have created a space for them, you can add shelves or cabinets higher up for items you use less often.
Think vertically
Many items can go off the floor, creating more space. In addition to hanging rakes and tools, consider hanging up your bikes, wheelbarrow, coolers, lawn chairs and snow tires.
