As summer approaches, many homeowners face the daunting task of organizing their garages. Often considered a dumping ground for miscellaneous items, garages can become cluttered and chaotic. However, with proper planning and organization, the garage can become a functional and enjoyable space.
Mountain Sky Closets & Garages specializes in garage cabinet installation and organization systems tailored to your unique needs. We work with you to design an organizational system that maximizes your garage’s storage potential. With our organization systems, you can spend your summer making memories rather than making excuses.
Assess and Sort:
Before organizing, assess your garage contents and sort them into categories. Create designated areas for tools, gardening supplies, sports equipment, and seasonal decorations. Consider donating or discarding any items you no longer need or use. By decluttering, you’ll create a clean slate for effective organization and free up space for items you truly value.
Create zones:
Dividing your garage into zones based on the type of items you store will significantly improve its organization. Establish separate zones for gardening, automotive tools, sports equipment, and household maintenance supplies. This approach ensures that each category has its designated space, making it easier to find what you need when you need it. Use shelving units, pegboards, and cabinets to create storage solutions tailored to each zone, maximizing available space.
Utilize vertical space:
Make the most of your garage’s vertical space by installing wall-mounted shelves, hooks, and pegboards. These allow you to store bicycles, ladders, and gardening tools off the floor, freeing up valuable floor space. Consider using clear plastic bins or labeled storage containers to keep smaller items organized and easily accessible. Utilizing vertical space maximizes storage capacity and creates a visually pleasing and functional environment.
Safety and accessibility:
Ensure safety and accessibility in your garage by implementing a few essential measures. Keep frequently used items at eye level or within easy reach, reducing the risk of injury caused by heavy lifting or awkward reaching. Place potentially dangerous materials, such as chemicals and power tools, in locked cabinets or high shelves, away from children’s reach. Install proper lighting to illuminate the space adequately, making it safer and more enjoyable to navigate, especially in the evenings.
Regular maintenance and upkeep:
To maintain an organized garage throughout the summer, perform regular maintenance and upkeep. Dedicate a few minutes each month to evaluating the organization and decluttering any items that have accumulated. Clean the garage floor, sweep away dust and debris, and ensure everything is in its designated place. Regular maintenance will prevent the garage from becoming cluttered again and allow you to enjoy an organized space.
Organizing your garage for summer is a worthwhile endeavor that enhances efficiency and enjoyment. By assessing, sorting, and creating zones, you can optimize the available space and easily locate your belongings. Utilizing vertical space and ensuring safety and accessibility further contribute to a functional and visually appealing garage. Additionally, regular maintenance and upkeep will help you sustain your organization throughout the summer and beyond. Embrace the challenge, follow these strategies, and transform your garage into a well-organized haven that accommodates your summer activities and brings you peace of mind.
Cabinet Solutions to help you get organized:
Custom built with high-quality materials, our commercial-grade garage cabinets will protect your belongings, maximize your storage space, and last for years to come. We offer a wide range of cabinet heights, depths, and widths that combine to allow for endless design possibilities. Consider cabinets that are built to the ceiling to further maximize your storage space. All of our cabinets can be custom-made to your specifications.
To prevent water damage, and to keep pests and debris out, our cabinets are securely mounted off the floor. This design also allows you to easily hose down your garage floor without damaging the cabinets. Our cabinets have a fully integrated backing to prevent leaks.
All drawers feature full extension runners for easy access to all of your stored possessions. One-inch fixed and adjustable shelving is 25% thicker than the industry standard and can hold up to 100 pounds to accommodate tools, bags, and bins of different sizes.
Choose from one of our cabinet door options: our full-swing hinges allow doors to open a full 110 degrees for easy access to larger items, and our innovative dual sliding track door is beneficial for spaces lacking adequate room for swinging doors. Additionally, cabinets can also be constructed without a center divider post for the storage of large objects.
Our laminate finishes are moisture-proof, stain-resistant, and chip-resistant. Durable cast-steel pull handles and protective PVC edge banding finish off our exquisite cabinets for a pure, refined look.
