As the entryway to most homes, garages play an important role in our daily lives. They’re obviously designed to protect vehicles from weather, but they’re also much more than that. In addition, our Durham garage door has become the new front door. Garages have become the dumping ground for seasonal items, tools, cleaning products, and more. In most cases, the garage is the one place that could use a good cleaning at least once a month. Sadly, it probably only gets cleaned once a year, tops.
To ensure that your Durham garage doors are working properly, without worrying that the garage door opener is being blocked by clutter, it’s important to establish an organizing system for the garage. Not only will it help keep our garage doors working well, it’ll also leave more room for our vehicles and offer a nice place to act as a “mud room” for those going in and out of the house.
Below, you’ll find a few tips that will help you keep the garage free and clear from clutter :
Tips | Durham Garage Door
Shoe storage – As we mentioned above, today’s garage is the entryway to our home. It’s the new-aged front door. With that being the case, shoes are often piled up by the door both inside and outside the Raleigh garage door that leads to the inside of the home. Especially if shoes aren’t allowed to be on inside, they’ll certainly pile up in the garage. The best way to deal with this issue is by investing in a shoe organizer. Whether it’s built in or store bought, a shoe organizer can be a lifesaver.
An even better option is to have a customized built in made that has both shoe cubbies and a seating bench. That way, you’ll have a place to sit while you put your shoes on and take them off!
Multipurpose bench – Speaking of a seating bench for shoe storage, why not go all out and get an extra-long bench that will hold not only shoes but coats, hats, tools, and other items that need to be stored. Place it next to your Durham garage door and see how well it keeps the floor tidy and garage clear of clutter!
Add a loft. Oftentimes, garages have high ceilings. It’s important to utilize that space by adding a loft for storage. This extra space can really cut the clutter down and leave tons more room for other things in your garage. The loft acts as an attic and will probably have low ceilings and/or a retractable ladder. Depending on how high the ceilings in your garage are, that will determine the height of the loft.
The garage is often thought of as unused space. When you think about it, it’s actually used quite often. Because of that, it’s important to keep it clean and organized. To learn more ways to keep the garage and your Durham garage door clear of clutter, be sure to visit back with us, soon!
