One thing that should be considered is the vertical space that is available along the walls. There are numerous garage storage ideas that can be found on the Internet as well as by simply sitting down for a little while and coming up with a plan. Even if you are able to put just a few cabinets along the walls, it will help you to get much of the clutter that is on the floor out of the way. You just need to be cautious that the garage storage units are not getting full and a spillover occurs which puts you back at square one.
You can also use pegboards to organize many of the smaller items that tend to clutter the garage. With the right type of pegboard hooks, you can also store many larger items including cleaning tools and supplies that may have been sitting in a corner. Once you see how much organization is possible by using the pegboard, you might also find that they are beneficial for use in closets and other areas of the home as well. It is one storage device that no garage should be without.
