Got tons of stuff in your garage and need some extra space?

Probably time for a declutter maybe?

If you’ve got a garage that’s full and you need more space and can’t clear any more items, it might be best to start adding items in the garage ceiling. If you haven’t done so already, try adding some wooden boards to lay across the beams or simply install some hooks to hang garden tools, bikes and even fishing poles to the hooks. You’ll be surprised at how much space this small little addition can add.

If the items are up and out-of-the-way, it will allow you more floor space to walk and locate items already stored in the garage.

It might seem like a really obvious idea, but have you thought of hanging shelves on the walls and then getting some plastic storage cabinets to put your things inside (don’t forget to label the box).

A peg board can also help you remove items from the floor (these are great). It will give you much easier access to your things when you’re actually ready to use them.

You could do a yearly spring clean, hire a skip or make that trip to the tip and actually remove unwanted or unused items from the garage.
