Car garages no longer are only used to park your car in! They have become the multi-purpose room that families use for a myriad of reasons! People have turned them into a living room, a gym, even a children’s playroom. How you use your garage is up to you but remember if you are planning to place your home on the market soon that garage appearance can be a reflection of how you take care of your home in general.

 No matter what the family uses the garage for, proper garage storage is essential in keeping the area tidy and clutter free.  Garage storage organization takes time, so you need to be patient. On the other hand, it would not be that case if you know how and where to start. Get the whole family to participate! This will make it go by faster and make it more fun!

Garage storage organization means proper categorizing, separating, and selling or throwing unneeded items. Place items in the properly labeled boxes and bins. Make sure pet supplies, holiday decorations, recyclable items, camping and sport gear, and chemicals are stored in separate labeled boxes.

The most important part of your garage storage organization project is having the right storage systems installed in the appropriate sections of the room. The storage systems can be installed anywhere in the garage room. You can maximize the space by using its walls, corners, and even the ceiling.

Different storage systems are available such as cabinets, lofts, shelves, hangers, hooks, and various other organizational systems!

When you are done with those things, stack the items neatly and efficiently, so when the time that their use is needed, you can easily locate each of them. Also, you may want to take into consideration on how frequently you use those items when stacking or storing them.

Placing the most used items at the front portion and those that are less used farther at the back will give you best times in the future. Achieving a well-organized and well-arranged garage storage system is easy if you organize and store things effectively.

When the day comes to put that house on the market the organization shown will reflect to the buyer a person was meticulous about maintaining their home and someone who kept up with the routine care needs of the home.  That alone will sell the home when it comes to choosing between two homes.

Hi Stan - This is good advice.  Sellers are always surprised when I tell them that every buyer will want to see the garage, but it is true.  Whenever I show homes to buyers or hold an open house, everyone goes out to the garage to see what is there and how clean it is.  If it is dirty, messy and full of spider webs, no one will trust the condition of the rest of the home beneath the cosmetic stuff.

Stan, basement homes in TN are a rarity. Good garage space is mandatory. Keeping that are nice and tidy is a must.
