How to organise and optimise a messy garage space

So, you’re set on that big garage cleaning and reorganisation. Great! But then what? Here’s how to not only achieve lasting uncluttered order, but create a space that readily adapts to suit pastimes and activities.

It’s all about the floor space

It’s no secret that storage capacity is key to freeing up the floor. But it’s just as much about preserving accessibility. Here, hefty BROR cabinets, pegboards and more let you clear the room, introduce a much calmer mood, and still allow for quick scenery changes.

Your next activity is at your fingertips

With the clutter munchers at the ready, we can move onto the final touches. Sorting and finding a designated spot for each intended use. Add lighting, hooks, a wheeled box and the details that make things easy to take out, and easy to make disappear. Even better – this is already a place you want to spend more time in.

Efficiency isn’t everything, so soften things up

Small additions – like a few pots on the sill or an unexpected patch of artificial plants – can truly help transform the mood. In a garage, with a natural roughness to it, the effect is even more prominent.

All together now

With a system for easily getting the props in and out established, you can tend to more subtle things. Like an air purifier, soft materials, LED candles, ability to adjust lighting from activity mode to mood. If just for a fleeting moment, it’s a space to totally relax in.

This solution is about garage reorganisation making room for a gym and wellness corner. But remember, the principle works just as well for a gardening station on a patio, a gaming set-up in a basement, or – you decide.
