An often overlooked – and overwhelmed – space, your garage is likely full of everything except your cars.

If you’re not getting the most out of your garage, it’s time to take control of it and transform it into the organized garage space it was intended to be. Doing so is easier than you think. Use the ideas below to get the most out of the garage space you have.

Transforming your garage storage is all about using the space to store a wide variety of things from tools to toys, and just like any other home improvement project, you need to get organized first. For your garage organization project this means cleaning out everything inside so you can declutter and see what you have, only keeping what you use and need. Then while the space is empty, you can assess lighting and address any structural flaws like cracked cement floors. And this is when your custom garage storage journey begins.

When you work with Inspired Closets, our expert designers will help you make sense of what you own and design a custom solution to store and organize it all. We’ll start by listening to wants, needs, and vision for the space, and then we’ll design an organized garage solution that will work with you now and in the future.
The quickest way to clear your garage floor from the things you know you need but are in the way is to go vertical and use garage organization products on your walls. Well placed slatwall with task specific hooks can handle anything from bikes and skateboards to lawn equipment and more.
No custom garage organization project is complete without tailoring the lighting to the exact needs of the space it serves. Not only does this provide the most functional benefit of illuminating your space, but it also plays a key role in how you feel when you spend time there. Here is an overview of what we mean:

Most garages are illuminated with basic fluorescent lights. Incandescent or compact fluorescent light bulbs might also be in place.

Task lights offer targeted lighting where you need it most. Task lighting is typically installed on the underneath side of upper cabinets helping illuminate the workbench or area below.

We’ll work around any window or door you have to maximize the natural light that already flows into your garage. Alternatively, if you’d like to add a window or skylight, we can work with that too.

If your garage transformation includes hosting social events or creating a teen hangout space, consider including decorative lighting to give that area a social feel.
You have far more options than the bland, boring, grey cement that comprises most garage floors. Consider some of the best options available:
Tiles give you complete design flexibility. Be creative and customize a unique look for your garage floor. With a variety of colors and patterns to choose from, the options are limitless. Tiles are easy to clean, non-slip when wet, and extremely strong and durable. They are made of recycled tires and designed to last as long as you own your home.
Now that you have your garage foundational and structural needs in place, it’s time to reimagine your garage to decide exactly what you’d like it to do. And while parking the cars inside the garage is the obvious answer, with an organized garage you can see how much space you have to work with and more easily imagine the possibilities. Here are some of our tried-and-true client favorite organized garage transformations.
