Is Your Garage Cluttered?

The garage is perhaps one of the most versatile spaces in your home. It can be used as storage, a showroom or a workshop. However, it is not uncommon to see many garages become a catch-all for clutter. Here are a few simple ways to keep your garage organized from the Phoenix custom garage storage and organization experts at Arizona Garage & Closet Design.

Use Overhead Space

If you feel as if you are quickly running out of space in your garage, just look up! Overhead garage space can be used to store seasonal items, seldom-used belongings and bulky equipment, such as bicycles and kayaks. Keep as many items off the floor as possible in order to increase the amount of usable space you have for parking the car, working on DIY projects, or even relaxing in your garage entertainment room.

Make Your Walls Work

Wall organizers and hooks are perfect for hanging storage. Store rakes, ladders and tools along the walls of the garage to keep them out of the way without relegating them to a dusty outdoor shed. With garage shelving and cabinets, you can keep all of the items you use regularly in easy reach. Mounted hooks and rods near the garage door are great for storing keys, motorcycle jackets and other items you may need before leaving your home. Other popular wall storage options include slatwall and equipment storage racks.

Add Bins and Baskets

Bins and baskets are useful for storing a variety of objects. For everyday items, such as yoga mats, dog leashes and plastic bags, baskets hung by the garage door allow for easy access. Other items, such as out-of-season clothing, small holiday decorations, nostalgic keepsakes, and camping equipment, are types of items that are best stored in waterproof plastic bins.

Invest in Cabinets

Garage cabinets can be customized to meet your exact storage needs; you can even choose from nine color choices to give your garage the perfect look. These sturdy, attractive furniture pieces are the ultimate solution for organizing equipment and tools for your hobbies and keeping them sorted. At Arizona Garage & Closet Design, our wall-mounted garage cabinets are securely anchored to the wall, protecting your belongings from water, debris and pests while also allowing you to easily clean the garage floor. Other benefits of our custom garage cabinets include:

• Secure backing for extra strength and to prevent dust and pests from creeping into the cabinets
• Fixed or adjustable 1” shelving that is 25 percent thicker than the industry standard and able to sustain loads weighing up to 100 pounds
• Wide variety of heights, depths and widths available to meet your requirements
• Sliding doors for easy access to items when space is tight
• No center dividing post on doors – the double wide opening and full-swing hinges allow easy access to the entire width of the shelf
