There’s no shortage of garage storage systems out there, yet many people fail to turn a cluttered garage into a functional storage area because they don’t invest in the right garage storage elements. Learn four things you need in your garage to cut the clutter, get thing organized once and for all, and never waste time looking for something you need.

1. Custom Garage Cabinets

There’s a cabinet for everything you want to store in the garage.

Wall-mounted cabinets are an ideal option for tall items, such as sports gear or landscaping tools. Since cabinets have doors, they protect items from dust and debris. Locking cabinets, which keep hazardous chemicals out of reach of curious children, are a must-have for families. Low cabinets provide ready storage under a workbench area and are a great addition to any hobby zone.

Comparing cabinets to shelving, you’ll spend more money on custom garage cabinets than on open shelving. However, you’ll enjoy looking at an uncluttered garage with everything in its place, rather than scanning dusty shelves that have become cluttered with home supplies in search of the item you need.

2. Magnetic Tool Strips or Pegboards

Over the workbench area, magnetic tool strips allow you to keep your most frequently used items within arms’ reach. These are a favorite time saver because you can easily grab what you need while keeping specialized items out of sight in tool drawers or cabinets.

Alternatively, and increasing number of “easy install” pegboard organization systems enable tools to be organized and accessible without a massive amount of effort.

3. Hanging Racks and Baskets

Hanging storage media utilize every inch of wall space while accommodating items that might get lost in cabinets. Hanging racks are ideal for oversized things like bicycles while hanging baskets are a simple way to store collections of small items you want within easy reach.

By dedicating at least one garage wall to hanging items, you can reclaim valuable floor space. Prepare for hanging storage by adding a slat wall, which accommodates hooks, racks, baskets, and bins.

4. Lighting

Upgrading your garage storage solutions won’t help if you can’t see well. Upgrade your garage lighting to always find what you need. Consider motion-sensitive lighting for outside the garage, then add track lights or spotlights in the garage. By illuminating each storage and work zone, you can things quickly.

These four elements are not only flexible and scalable; they fit a range of budgets. Select the components and systems that will allow you to reduce clutter and improve organization in the garage, then clear out the garage and implement your new systems. Not only will you enjoy the decluttered garage, but you’ll also feel great about taking action to improve the value of your home.
