  4. Has your garage turned into a chaotic storeroom for your tools and garden supplies? If you answered yes (or even thought yes), it is time to de-clutter your garage and get it into top-notch organizational shape. Get your garage straightened out and give it a fresh facelift at the same time with these inspirational and practical tips.

  5. This garage has been put into tip top shape; clutter is off the floor, tools and equipment are neatly stored away and there is room to work.

  6. As with any organization project, clear out what you don’t need.  It’ll be a challenge to create the garage of your dreams if you are overwhelmed with an accumulation of odds and ends, unused goods, and other miscellany.


    Group your items into functional categories.  Keeping all your gardening supplies separate from your workbench tools will make it easier to map out space for these areas.


    Before you start installing shelves and cabinets, freshen up your garage walls.  Repair any holes.  Apply a fresh coat of paint.  Now may be the time to consider a color other than the dependable and ever-popular off-white hues.  For spaces that are more likely to become grimy, consider a no-nonsense, gray-shade, Neutral shades easily coordinate with other color families and will conceal normal wear and tear better than white shades.  If you are making over your garage into a gardener’s workshop, a rich, earthy brown color can put you in the mood to embark on your spring planting projects.

  7. The rich shades of blue and green on the walls create the perfect backdrop for a gardening center in your garage.

  8. Don’t forget the floors.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the difference a newly refreshed floor can make.  Be sure to clean off oil stains with a mild acid cleaner.  Apply epoxy acrylic garage floor paint.  Your floor will not only look good but it will be protected from stains and fading.


    Once the floors and walls are taken care of, you are ready to return your items back to the garage.  Take the necessary wall measurements to determine your available space.  Designate sections in your garage for specific areas.  Whether you are reserving room for DIY projects, food pantry goods or sporting equipment, it makes sense to keep these objects grouped together. 


    As you organize your garage, remember that safety is important.  Do not store toys, sporting goods or other potential trip hazards on the floor by entrances and pathways.  Also, make sure to store chemicals in safe places, out of the reach of children and free from extreme heat or cold. 

  9. Take advantage of your vertical wall space.  Hanging racks are excellent for holding rakes, brooms and mops.  Use heavy-duty wall hooks for heftier items such as bicycles and ladders.  Wall pegboards are ideal for storing small items that need to be readily available. 


    Use basic wall shelves for storage too.  Shelves will keep larger items such as tools, pots and other objects clearly visible and readily at-hand.


    Larger tools and equipment, chemicals and liquids, and other supplies can be stored in floor and wall cabinets. Stackable, plastic tub containers can also be used to store toys, holiday items, sporting goods, and other belongings. 


    Beautifully refreshed and neatly organized, your garage has been made over into an efficient and inspiring work space.
