7 tips for Storage-Smart Garage

Posted by DSH on Friday, August 25, 2006

Give your garage super-sized storage capacity without moving the walls or selling your car. What's the secret? Planning, of course. This well-organized space will inspire you.

Neatness Counts
Convert space at the head of the garage to a storage area with stock cabinets. Add a plywood countertop, pegboard, and task lights to make a workbench.

Hidden Assets
Tall cabinets with adjustable shelves and drawers keep hobby and recreational items out of sight until needed. Thanks to a layer of chalkboard paint on cabinet surfaces, chalk labels help the whole family know where to put things away.

Clearly Organized
Take a tip from your kitchen: Clear glass canisters make it easy to see what's inside, which saves you time when you're looking for just the right size nail or screw.

Bin There, Done That
Stackable galvanized-steel bins keep small items such as coils of wire corralled and ready for use. Labels help keep you organized.

Pegboard Prowess
Millions of Dads can't be wrong: You can't beat pegboard for providing an inexpensive, easy-to-install method of storing tools. Screwdrivers and more stay visible and within easy reach. Hooks can be moved when you want to rearrange the wall.

In Close Proximity
Think ahead to save steps. Storing your paintbrushes close to the paint and stain, as shown here, saves countless steps each time you start a painting project.

Do More with Drawers
Too bulky for bins, but not big enough for cabinet shelves? Then stash those awkward items in labeled drawers where they can't escape.
