Garages are great places to store everything from your car (of course!), to garden furniture to gym equipment. However, often garages become a dumping ground for random bits and pieces and quickly end up with an overwhelming amount of clutter. To help you prevent this we’ve put together five top garage storage ideas!

1.    Create a storage wall

Floor-to-ceiling shelving or an open garage storage system that uses movable brackets on fixed runners is a great way of storing tools, garden supplies and much more! There are plenty of different options to choose from, so you can customise your wall to fit your space and needs perfectly. Plus, it helps to free up floor space and reduce trip hazards.

2.    Overhead racks

If you have less floor space but higher ceilings, overhead racks are a brilliant storage solution! Forget bulky cabinets or shelving, overhead racks are easy to install and great for storing lighter items. There are available in different shapes and sizes, so you can find the perfect one for your garage.

3.    Invest in cabinets or toolboxes

If you have the space, cabinets and toolboxes are a garage must-have! Not only do they make it easy to organise everything from tools to spare cords, but they also protect items from conditions like damp or dust. With a vast array of cabinets and boxes to choose from, you won’t have to compromise on style or convenience.

4.    Install hooks under your shelving

If you’re looking for a quick way to add some extra storage options to your current storage, adding some hooks is an excellent way to make your shelves work harder! You can find hooks that are easy to screw or occasionally glue on under your shelves – only use glue if they’ll be holding light items! These hooks are great for storing coats, wires and more.

5.    Consider self-storage solutions

If your garage is on the smaller side and you store seasonal items like garden furniture or hobby/sports equipment in it, taking advantage of self-storage can be very beneficial. At M Store, we can ensure your seasonal items stay safe in their own secure storage unit that you can access whenever you need to! Great for putting away items that you won’t use for months or even storing items until you have time to go through them and sell what you’re not using anymore.
