Organization Tips | Durham Garage Door Repair
Overhead storage. In our last post, we talked about adding a loft to utilize the high ceiling space that often comes with garages today. While it’s a great way to add storage space, it can also be very pricey. If you’re not ready to invest a lot of time and money into your garage storage, consider overhead storage instead. Overhead storage units are basically suspended shelving that hangs just above the Durham garage doors. They provide an “out of sight-out of mind” type storage.
They’re easy to install and don’t require any remodeling. Because they’re high and hard to reach, it’s best to store things you rarely need. Christmas décor, things you use when it snows, etc.
Slat walls. You’ve seen slat walls numerous times in retail stores and have probably never thought about using them in your garage. They’re great for keeping things off the floor and organizing things you use frequently. Because they’re easy to reach and use hooks and shelves, you can make your own customized storage station for tools and other items. You can even store skis, lawn chairs, and more on larger hooks!
Cabinetry. Investing in a great set of cabinets and drawers from an organizational or home goods store can really cut the clutter in no time at all! You can even add a few shelving units, as well!
Pegboard. Just like slat wall, pegboards are great for effective organization. Great for tools or other materials that are usually found in a garage workshop!
Customized cabinetry. While cabinetry bought from a home goods store is more cost effective, built in custom cabinetry is worth the extra cost, if the extra funds are there! You can have wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling and more! It is the most expensive way to organize your garage but it’s also the most beautiful and user friendly, as you can design it to fit your needs!
