Top 3 Garage Organization Questions - Modern Garage
Have you seen or heard of the tidying expert – Marie Kondo? She is a best-selling author and the star of Netflix’s hit show, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. She is a sole believer in getting rid of everything and anything that does not spark joy. For Marie, it’s all about choosing joy!
You might ask – where are we going with this? We think it is paramount that you understand the importance of organization not only in your home but also in your garage. Keeping your garage clean and organized will make for a much more welcoming and livable space!
Clutter is something no one likes to live with, right? If you have clutter in your garage, this article is for you! We will dive deeper into the importance of garage organization and answer some top garage organization questions.
What is the Best Way to Organize a Garage?
A top cause of garage clutter is too much stuff. The best way to start organizing a garage is to get rid of anything you don’t need. Go through absolutely everything in your garage and set aside at least a full day or weekend to get the job done. Enlist the help of friends and family to speed up the process or hire a professional!
We recommend sorting the items into three piles to declutter effectively (just like Marie Kondo recommends): keep, donate or throw away.
What Items Should Get the Boot?
When it comes to discarding items, you should toss the items that you haven’t used in two years or more. If you haven’t used the items in a few years or forgotten that you even had them, what is the point of keeping them? Give them the boot!
The goal here is to toss more items than you keep, that way you free up the clutter from your garage. This is the perfect opportunity to have a yard sale or simply donate your items to a nearby shelter.
What Should You Do with the Items You Keep?
It is best to sort the keepers into broad categories and keep them in a bin together. We recommend using clear-plastic stackable bins that you can use later down the road too. These stackable containers are great to store in custom garage cabinets or in the overhead space in your garage. Purchase a portable label maker to label all of your storage bins!
The goal here is to keep things off the garage floor! We need to free up all the floor space for a walkable area and for your vehicle.
