1. Start with a clean slate.
Take everything out of the closet and decide what will stay and what will go. Grab some bins to collect everything that doesn’t belong, and find its proper home. This will allow you to utilize the space more productively.
2. Purge.
Old cleats? Pitch, sell, or donate. As you go through items good rule of thumb is if you haven’t used it in a year, get rid of it! By minimizing what is actually stored in the garage, it will be easier to create a decluttered, serene space.
3. Create a storage plan.
After you’ve cleared out the closed and purged, it’s time to create a storage game plan. Divide the garage into zones: and categorize the items. Find a place for miscellaneous items that you plan on keeping. Rather than allowing items to pile in the corner, include them in your storage plan.
4. Think vertically with adjustable rails
Maximize vertical wall space with the adjustable system. When designing,think about convenience and frequency of use. If you are using an item more often, keep it at eye level instead of high up. Keep light items high up and heavy items down low to avoid potential injury while accessing tools. Make sure to leave 24” of clear walkway space around vehicles.
5. Create a drop zone.
Stop the clutter before it enters your home by providing a place for your shoes and coats. Creating a handy place to hang your coats and bags when walking in the door can ease the transition between the home and the rest of your day.
6. Maintain.
As
the seasons change, so do your priorities. Continue to reorganize the closet every season to ensure your predominant needs are met. Plus it
stops the mess from getting out of hand!
