Shelves For Home – Tips For Garage Storage

Although garages were created for sheltering cars and other vehicles, their role in the modern whole has evolved into something that was never intended: a dumping ground for household clutter. So much so that, according to one report, almost a half of American households cannot fit a car inside the garage.

That has led to a whole new industry determined to solve that problem, and make money from you at the same time! Some of the modern garage storage systems, though, are very innovative and well worth looking at if you want to get on top of the clutter threat to your family cars. With the prospect of a neat and tidy garage with your vehicle back in its original home, the outlay on a garage storage rack or other system will probably be well worth it.

So what are the best solutions to garage storage problems? It depends, as you would expect, on the extent and nature of the surplus items that have found a home in the garage. Generally speaking, though, the solution will be found by making full use of the walls and the space above the car.

In fact, it is overhead garage storage systems that have been the big breakthrough in relieving pressure on the garage for home storage. Previously wasted, that space above the car can become one of the main sources of family storage. Modern, purpose designed, overhead storage systems can accommodate quite a load of storage boxes, luggage and whatever else you might need to store for long periods.

Using that space can relieve clutter in the home, as well as in the backyard shed, if that is overflowing too. Companies specializing in overhead racking produce good heavy duty systems, with the simplicity of use that consumers demand. Saferacks and Monsterrax spring to mind, and are well worth considering. Once you see what they can accommodate, you will be tempted if you have the budget.

The garage walls also need to be fully utilized, and again there are purpose designed garage storage racks. If necessary, you can fit in a garden tool organizer too, if the backyard shed cannot accommodate one. It is important to keep poisonous items out of the way of children, and either having a high wall rack, or a metal locker if there is space, can achieve that end.

Ordinary shelves for home use, such as wood shelving, can be used on the garage wall, but the specially designed racks are best. As usual, it all depends on your budget. But if you want to solve the garage storage problem, then there’s a good chance you will need to spend some money to do so.

Cabinets and Shelves for the Home, Shed and Garage

There are people who seem to be able to keep their homes looking immaculate, with not a thing out of place throughout the home. Not only do they have spick and span interiors, but their garages and sheds have everything well organized, clean and tidy, and easily accessible. Are you one those people?

The chances are, no. While some achieve such heights of tidiness with ease, the majority of us struggle with surplus junk scattered around the home, and an air of disorganization and clutter. We go off in search of the simplest tool, utensil or other item, go from room to room, only to find it buried under something totally unrelated in the place we would least expect.

I think it is true to say that the majority of people could at least do something, often a great deal, to de-clutter our homes. Apart from being ruthless about what can be totally discarded, and condemned to the garbage, there are other things that can be done to make our home generally tidier and easier to live in. Mostly they revolve around having the right storage facilities in the right place, and then assigned a favored pace to store every item in the household. Plus, having done so, have a regular routine to get everything back in its place, so the house, shed and garage always look well organized and tidy.

Now, that all seems easier said than done, and that is possibly the main problem for many. They see the mess, see that it’s got out of hand, and cannot face getting started. Finding that motivation is essential to get started, and transform your home.

Once a firm decision is made to get started, and a time allotted, then the rest depends a lot on space and budget. But there are storage solutions across all price ranges, and you can always used kitchen cabinets and other second hand storage aids.

Overall, though, choosing the correct cabinets, racks and shelves for the home will make it easier to achieve the desired result. You may even find a day’s sorting out will be sufficient with your current storage, but if you have a larger scale issue with clutter, then tackling the garage and yard shed might be the best places to start, freeing up space for part of the indoor surplus to be stored outside.

If you have kids, then getting them involved is important; making them enthusiastic about the task in hand even more so. Just hope that once they see their nicely organized bedrooms and play areas, they appreciate that all the effort is worthwhile.
