Storage Maker, one of the UK’s leading online sellers of home storage solutions, has developed an extremely versatile and durable storage system to help keep your garage tidy.
It can be hard finding the right storage solution to cope with the myriad of items kept in garages - apart from cars. Whether it’s bicycles, sports equipment, tools or gardening items, Storage Maker’s heavy-duty garage storage kits are the answer. With a choice of options to suit all sizes of garage and storage requirements, the easy-to assemble kits are smart and tidy. But best of all, they use the wall space for storage, freeing up floor space.
Once installed, these garage storage kits mean items can be easily found and kept safe and secure. You can choose from 24, 42 or 79 piece kits which all come complete with instructions. Stephen Richards, online manager at Storage Maker, explained, “By making our kits robust enough for even the toughest customers, we believe that our new kits provide solutions to almost any garage storage problem.”
As well as the kits, which cost between £99 and £399 depending on the amount of storage you need for your garage, Storage Maker has a selection of trims to complete the project and give a neat finish, all priced at £4.95 and available online from www.storagemaker.co.uk
Joint Trims
Once the Slat wall panels are attached to the walls, Storage Maker’s range of trims give the finished job a neat and professional appearance. Corner joint trims are fixed in the corners, between the panels to hide any gap. Centre joint trims provide a neat joint between each of the panels.
End Caps
To ensure the neat and tidy finish, you can also install end caps by slotting them into place at either end of the Slatwall panel. They give the completed storage kit a finishing touch, adding a touch of class and style to your garage storage solutions.

Top 10 space wasters.
It’s incredible to consider how much precious space in our homes is wasted by near-useless items that we seem to tolerate at the expense of improving our daily lives. It’s not just space either, but money too that could be saved just by improving your home storage situation.
Objects big and small
Everyone has their own definition over what is a waste of space and what isn’t, but to get you focused here are 10 we’ve found around the house to help you get started:
1. Kitchen gadgets: Take a look into the dark recesses of your kitchen cupboards and drawers. How much stuff is in there that you haven’t used in over a year? Sure, at the time you bought the product it seemed amazing and an ideal solution to an obscure recipe. But perhaps now you realise that by the time you’ve cleaned it and figured out how to work the thing you could have made the meal using simpler and more commonly used kitchen items.
2. Old clothing: Perhaps they don’t fit, are beyond repair, or you just don’t like them. What’s keeping them in your wardrobe? Maybe you don’t want to throw them out because they were expensive to buy in the first place. Time to take a deep breath and consider that someone else might use them. Take them to a charity shop, or if they’re quality, then you could always sell them.
3. Tools: Is your garage cluttered? Garage storage can be a constant effort. Help by selling old tools you rarely use or have more than one of. It’s surprising how many duplicates you could find.
4. Magazines and books. It’s great to have library at home, but consider your collection, with magazines especially tending to pile up and occupy space. Time for a clear out in this department?
Making space
5. Get the right shelving and storage. Sometimes it’s not the just amount of things we have that waste space, but the way we store them Get a good
storage solution for your home. Make the most of wall space rather than pile things from the floor upwards.
6. Organise your home storage. Keep your storage solutions in the garage and home simple and efficient. Thing you use more should be in easy to access places.
7. Sort out the garage. Don’t use the garage as a dumping ground. It should be there to protect your car from the winter weather and a workable space for DIY and other home improvements. Get some shelves and throw out old stuff.
8. Use vertical spaces in all areas of your property. Hooks and rods make for great space savers. A home is for living in – not just cluttering.
9. Compartmentalise. Try to keep a theme for home storage. Saving space should be for your ease of use of the things you need, for example clothing in the wardrobe and books on the bookshelf.
10. Old gadgets. Used electronics and home appliances can be recycled. Throw them out for more efficient products, saving money on bills as well as valuable household storage and living space.

How to de-clutter.
We’re moving house this weekend, and as well as move the things we need, we’re also going to get rid of the things we don’t need. I envisage a major de-clutter, and I’m looking forward to it.
The Plan
It’s always good to have a plan, and even better to stick to it. But first, before the plan, it’s good to have a look around and get an idea of what’s going to stay with us in our new home, and what isn’t. Rather than go around the whole house and try and sort everything at the same time, the plan is to do one room at a time. This means the approach is a lot more efficient, because we can clear a space in the middle of the room for all the sorting.
How do I sort? Well I’m aiming to get everything down to the essentials. Anything left over is for the charity shop, classifieds, recycling or the bin. How do I distinguish between essential and non-essential? Well that gets tricky. I will have an undecided pile, and because this is a team job, hopefully things can get decided by consensus. So firstly, we sort out the first bedroom, using the bed as the space for throwing everything on. Then we literally comb the entire room, separating things we’re going to keep from things to go. The “things to keep” pile then goes into the removal van and the rest goes into the garage storage system we’ve hastily assembled, for further separation into an individual storage solution for charity shop, re-selling, recycling, and the bin.
Making the decision
It sounds simple, but the actual decision of what you’re going to keep or get rid of can get tricky. It’s just not always that easy, which probably explains all of the clutter in our house in the first place.
One of the best ways I’ve found to decide between what to keep and what not to, is pick one item up at a time and make an instant decision. Consider the last time you actually used the item – if it was over a year ago then it’s probably time for it to go. Exclude the seasonal merit of the item; so if it’s a winter jacket, consider its worth in the context of the season it’s intended for.
This process can take around 4 hours per room of your home. The great thing about de-cluttering like this is that it’s not just good to do before you move house. You can incorporate it into your spring-cleaning, or just when you feel the house needs a good tidy up. Simplicity is often the key to a good home. Too much clutter and you can feel burdened, de-clutter and you feel back in control of your own home, and life. This method can be used for organising everything from home storage to tool storage, chucking away the stuff that’s in your way, and re-discovering the usefulness of having less. In essence, an affordable and fun type of home improvement.
