Garage Organization: A Chore No More In 5 Easy Steps

When spring rolls around, you may find what was once a home for your cars has now become a landfill for everything you own but don't use. It's important to define different spaces of your house, and the garage is no exception: it's just as functional as any other part of the home. However, it's meant to store your car and tools, not your Christmas tree. Therefore, it's best to solve the problem once and for all with a little garage organization that'll help keep things nice and tidy for the future. Follow our 5 easy steps to get the job done quickly and painlessly and enjoy your garage once again.  

1. Plan of Attack

Don't enter alone. And use the buddy system—if for no other reason than you may get overwhelmed and lost in your own sea of debris. Friends, family, and the kids can all lend a hand to get the job done quicker and to help keep you on track: it's easy to get distracted rooting through the objects of your past.

The first goal of any garage organization is to create more floor space, so that's where you should begin as well. Get all the knick-knacks, the holiday decorations, and any other indoor-related storage out of there and into the attic. This area is for outdoor items only. Always keep this objective in mind: it'll help you decide what stays and what goes . . . . . . . . .
