Genius Garage Organization Ideas to Keep Your Life in Order

If there’s any space that can easily become the room equivalent of a household junk drawer, it’s the garage. Once you start using the space to store general household clutter, it’s easy to let things get out of control... and quickly. Thankfully, there are a slew of garage organization ideas to help you keep things in order, if only you know where to look.

The real challenge, of course, isn’t necessarily finding the most elaborate, aesthetically-pleasing plans for how to organize the space — it’s motivating yourself to take the time and energy to organize this notoriously dirty part of your home, especially when it’s part of your house that you probably spend the least amount of time in. Practically speaking, it can be difficult to convince yourself to put time and money into a portion of your house that isn’t necessarily front and center.

Still, deciding once and for all to put systems in place that make your garage as organized and functional as possible is more than worth the investment. After all, even if you’re not eating your meals or sleeping in your garage, it’s still a space that you will visit (if only more a minute or so) most days. So why not give yourself an organized room that makes your life easier and less stressful? By practicing some simple organization methods, you will end up with a space that allows you to find items more easily, spot unnecessary clutter right away (and eliminate it), and avoid piles of anxiety-inducing junk.
