Transform Your Garage From Chaos to Functional
Maid in Cabo Ultimate Guide: Transform Your Garage From Chaos to Functional (In Just 1 Weekend!)
Is your garage a graveyard of forgotten items? Whether it’s your workshop, gym, or storage space, these pro-approved steps will turn it into an organized, usable area.
Step 1: The Great Purge (Be Ruthless!)
12-Month Rule:
“If you haven’t used it in the last year (except for tools/emergencies), it’s out!”
-
Where It Should Go:
- Donate: Clothes, gently used tools
- Recycle: Electronics, batteries (never trash!)
- Trash: Broken/worthless items
Step 2: Smart Zone System
Divide your garage into 4 key areas:
| Zone | What Goes Here | Storage Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Workshop | Tools, paints | Pegboards + hooks |
| Sports | Bikes, gym equipment | Vertical shelves + bike hooks |
| Storage | Seasonal decorations | Clear labeled bins |
| “Purgatory” | Items under evaluation | Temporary shelf (1-month max) |
Step 3: Pro Storage Solutions
For Small Garages:
- Ceiling: Overhead racks for lightweight boxes
- Walls: Floating shelves + bike mounts
- Floor: Plastic pallets (prevents moisture)
Worth-the-Investment Upgrades:
- Slatwall System: Modular panels (like retail stores)
- Wheeled bins: For liquids/heavy items
Common Mistakes (Avoid These!)
- Piling items on the floor (attracts pests + moisture)
- Using cardboard boxes (they absorb humidity and attract bugs)
- Skipping maintenance: Dust/spills every 3 months
