Declutter, Reduce and Reorganize Belongings
Start by decluttering and purging unnecessary items. Sort through belongings to determine what you truly need to keep, what can be donated, and what should be discarded. This initial step is crucial for creating a clean slate and identifying storage needs.
Once you’ve streamlined your possessions, consider installing cabinetry or shelves to organize and store items effectively. Custom cabinetry offers tailored storage solutions that can evolve with your needs while concealing items not used daily. Alternatively, freestanding shelves provide accessible storage for quick organization and cleanup.
Select and Install a Storage System
Utilize wall storage systems like Gladiator GearTrack® Channels and the Gladiator® Wall System to manage awkward items such as sports equipment, gardening tools, and hoses. These systems offer various accessories like baskets and hooks to keep items off the floor and within easy reach.
Maximize vertical space by installing overhead shelving above vehicles or cabinetry. Overhead shelves come in stationary or adjustable designs, optimizing storage for seasonal or infrequently used items while maintaining accessibility.
Consider vehicle lifts to double parking space or store seasonal vehicles like boats, jet skis, or snowmobiles. Vehicle lifts are versatile solutions for maximizing garage floor space.
