DIY Garage Organization Tips

My first biggest tip, DO NOT use your attic for storage. That’s right I said it. If its in your attic and you don’t use it at least once a year, you don’t need it! I now use my attic to hide Birthday presents! Here is my favorite DIY project for the garage: Built in Stairs with Storage to the attic for easy access.

Just like any space, including my kid’s playroom, I have learned if it is not organized, they tend to not want to use the space, this includes my husband & his space. I love these organizing tips for tools. I put the stuff together and he can organize until his heart is content. This way when I need that DIY project from Pinterest he can just “whip it up,” right?

Hang those large ladders, by suspending them.

Some things are just too big for drawers, try these Peg Board Slides.

Consolidated, make things easy to find and use, this DIY Jumbo Tape Dispenser I even use!

Screw Baby Jars to the top of a shelf for Small screw and nail storage!

Lots of half used bottles of Spray Paint laying around? Try using a shoe Organizer!

Extension cords are things that can’t be put in a bin, we use them too much, make them accessible by using Chains and a Coat Hook.

Get the Gardening Tools out of the corner, and off of leaning haphazardly against the wall, and use PVC pipes to safely store them!

If you are anything like us, the kids have somehow overtaken and almost need their own “Parking Garage” for all the bikes, balls, and scooters! Here are some of our favorite ways to help organize the Kid’s Toys.

This DIY Ball organizer was so simple I

put ours together myself! Bungee Cords and couple of Boards!

Have a place so the kids know where to park Bikes and Scooters! This DIY Parking Rack is perfect.

I also adore this! Check out this ! Let the kids play outside on a Rainy Day, or let them run off some energy and not worry they are running into the road!

For all your miscellaneous things you have to store, like summer inflatables, life jackets, holiday decorations, and memory box items check out this step by step above the garage door sliding storage system.

Have a place for kids to kick off play shoes, and somewhere for your yard work shoes by the door. Add a simple basket rack! This is great even for smelly sports equipment you don’t want brought into the house!

Lastly once the long lazy days of summer are over, store" your summer furniture on the roof of the garage so its protected year around from the weather!
