Maximising Your Garage Space in 4 Ways

The first reason why homeowners get garages is first security that is to secure their vehicle and some machinery. The second is space. But what happens when the pursuit of additional space is not achieved? This is where garage makeover comes in.

The idea of having a makeover is not just to make the place more attractive, but also to make it more organised, which leads to creating more space for other garage items. Below are ways on how you can maximise garage space:

     1.   Use creative storage units

Traditional storage units like big cabinets are not always necessary to keep your garage organised. They are just eating much space, especially if they are too big for the items you are storing.

Evaluate first if you can go on with your garage activities without them. If yes, you can opt to have creative storage units instead. Ceiling rack storage units, brackets, hooks, are to name a few. They all would just consume less space as they can be placed even in angles. At the same time, they look very attractive.

      2.   Let go of non-functional items

The very reason why there is a lot of cluttering in the garage is because we do not know how to let go of things. You might see that there are items which have been unused for 3 years or more, yet you still keep them. You may have kept some of them to keep good memories.

Nostalgia and emotions cannot make your garage spacious, so let go. You will soon see that your garage will look so much better without them.

      3.   Visit other’s fitted garages

To get an idea of how exactly functional garages should look like; visit other people’s fitted ones. The term ‘fitted’ means that it is fashionable, customised according to user’s needs, and gives more space for working.

Take note of the advantages of fitted garages both for workspace and budget. This will help you get a gist of how your garage should be.

       4.   Make a system

But even if you have applied the things mentioned above, it does not guarantee that the additional space you gave your garage would last.

Some homeowners would clutter again, displace storage units, and start keeping unnecessary items. Make a system for your items when you get them from the storage and when putting back. Make it a habit to maintain the orderliness of your garage.
