Make the most out of your Garage!

Think of your garage as an extension of your home - not a space where you hide your unwanted things! First, purge all the things you don't need. Next, zone your garage - group similar functions/objects together (my page on zoning has more information on this topic). Create space for seasonal storage. Store hazardous materials, sharp tools out of reach from children. Open shelving is an in-expensive storage option, but can easily get cluttered. Cabinets, even though they are an expensive alternative, give your garage a clean look. Finally, don't forget to create space for your car in your garage - your car is secure and it's interior and exterior are well maintained.

Here are some examples on how to store your garden tools, brooms and mops, paint brushes and screw-drivers, your bike and sports accessories, and finally your exercise equipments! Hope you like them as much as I do! In my next page, I will post a few photos of well organized garages. Look forward to your thoughts on "Making the most out of your Garage!".
