Garage & Home Organisation & Storage Tips

Garage Organisation & Storage Solutions

It’s not just your Garage that gets untidy and full of those items that we someday hope to find a home for, your house can very simply and rapidly become a hoarding place for your personal belongings.

With the winter almost out of the way, this is the time for you to be thinking about organising your garage or your home, a time to de-clutter, to find a suitable storage place for all your personal items.

Here are a few tips for you on how best to do this:

Hallway – Most of us have a collection of winter clothing such as scarves, hats, coats that can take up a lot of space. I would suggest that now the winter is coming to an end, now would be a good time to put these into storage somewhere either in a cupboard, wardrobe or box them and store them carefully in your garage.

Lounge – The biggest offending clutter items in this room tend to be CD’s, DVD’s or game that we don’t use anymore so why not take the time now to box them and store them safely and carefully out of the way. We use this room a lot and most of us like to display our more treasured items such as trophies or photographs, don’t let your living room get cluttered and take the shine off your more treasured display items

Kitchen – Our kitchens can be a constant source of frustration and full of clutter. We stuff things into kitchen drawers and most if not all of us will have surplus items that we never use. Too much cutlery, the odd electric blender we never use and containers for food storage that have never been opened. Get all the clutter out of the drawers, box those items you don’t use and store them carefully in your loft or garage. We all use our kitchen every day and it’s so much nicer when the kitchen is clutter free

Closets – How many of us have last year’s fashion items stored in the closet, items we will never wear again? Now is a good time to clear out those closet items, box them and ship them out to the charity shop. If you are intent on keeping them, box them carefully and find a suitable storage place for them. Think about fixing some storage solutions, maybe wall storage panels, storage baskets, wall storage kits onto the walls to prove you with additional wall storage.

Office – If you have an office at home, storage is vitally important. You may need to store old records or files carefully and securely. Again, think about storage boxes or storage cabinets that will help keep your records safe and secure should you need to call on them in the future

Garage – Finally, the biggest culprit of them all, the king of clutter. Think about organising your garage properly, not just moving items around and piling them into a corner, out of sight is not always out of mind. You have more space in your garage than you think. Many people over look at value of using their garage wall storage space and there are plenty of options available for garage storage. Jump onto Google and type Garage Storage Kits and see the options that are available to you. Some of the garage storage kits are designed specifically to store items from the garage, bikes, golf clubs, gardening equipment and are really easy on the budget!

Garage Storage

If you are anything like to majority of us, the garage gets used for just about everything other than for garaging the car.
