Creative Garage Organization Ideas

Stuck for solutions to make your garage more useful? If you’re ready to rev up your organization level, try the creative ideas presented in this Lowe’s video:

Start with stock cabinets. They’re an affordable storage option that’s easy to configure to your space. You only buy what you need. Stain or paint them, then try a little creative customization. For more information, click here.

• Use chalkboard paint on the panels and keep track of what’s stored where.
• Add simple cork squares inside the doors to create instant bulletin boards.
• String bungee cords across a cabinet interior to keep manuals handy.
• Bungee cords between two cabinets create a cubby to corral stuff that doesn’t stow easily, like sports equipment.
• A wall-mounted organizer like this works well too. Meant for brooms and shovels, it’s also perfect for bats and racquets.
• A simple towel bar added underneath a cabinet creates hanging storage.

Add in some wire shelves, and you’ve created your very own custom storage system.

Another DIY solution fit for the garage is a slim-profile tool table. A combination of storage and workspace, this project is full of smart solutions. A pegboard and interchangeable shelves organize and display tools, while a bi-fold door serves as a work surface or a way to conceal your stuff.
