Garage Organization: Simple Tips to Declutter and Maximize Your Space

With the season changing, garage organization is just around the corner. After a long winter, garages tend to become a catch-all for everything.

If you’ve been putting off organizing your garage, this is your sign to finally tackle it.

Garage organization, like any space in your home, has its benefits and helps the flow of a smooth running home.

So what do you do first?

Don’t already have some form of a storage unit/shelf - now’s the time to look into one. When possible, always use the vertical space.
Wait for a nice, crisp day. You don’t want it to get too hot or you’ll be miserable in the heat.
Set up a place for garbage, donation, and items that belong elsewhere.
Start pulling things out of your garage, on to the driveway. It does sound like you’re making more of a mess…..but trust the process.
As you’re pulling out items, categorize by type - gardening, sports, etc.
Remove items you no longer need, whether garbage or donation - or even items that need to be returned, or go back in the house.
Bring back items and place on to the shelves, get things off the floor whenever possible.
