The garage is usually a catch all for the things that don't have a place inside our homes because they are too big to fit inside or they are too dirty to be allowed inside. Typically when something is put in the garage it is stuck in the first place that is open and as a result it creates clutter. This is accentuated by extreme weather conditions when it's too hot or too cold to be in the garage. Having an organized garage can make it easier and simpler to keep this area clean.
It is recommended to keep things in the garage up and off of the floor because of the nature of garages getting wet from rain and snow, muddy boots etc... this can be done by having cabinets with feet to elevate them and which accommodate for natural slopes of garage floors for drainage. Slatwall systems with hooks and baskets make it easy to put things away and in their proper place too.
It is also a great idea to organize storage of kids toys and balls at a lower level so they can access them easily.
Finally, many families have found that having a shoe rack in the garage makes a significant impact on the amount of dirt that is tracked inside and helps reduce the need for cleaning as often.
Having a garage that is well organized will help the rest of your home to stay not only organized but cleaner too.
