If you love reality TV or are just really into organizing your life, then you no doubt have strong opinions on how a decluttered and organized living space affects your emotional wellbeing. (Or maybe you’re just really into Marie Kondo on Netflix.)
This goes double if you’re in the Los Angeles or San Diego area, as the state of your home is about as important as anything else. The Feng Shui of your home and the kind vibes it sends off make all the difference in the world. And nothing feels more like an anxiety attack (without actually having one) than a disorganized space.
While we could dive deep into how to declutter and organize your whole home, we are instead going to focus on one part of your home: the garage. The question of whether or not to remodel your garage is as personal of a question as your favorite sushi place in Laguna Beach. However, the time to remodel is the moment you begin to question the efficacy of having the space and using it solely for emergency storage and dilapidated holiday decorations.
Why Is Organization Important (And How Garage Cabinets Might Help)?
Organization can truly help your everyday life. When your space is organized, you’ll find that you sleep better and have reduced stress. If you’re experiencing strife in personal and professional relationships, shoring up your personal space can help you exert some control and create a space where you can feel safe and calm. Many studies have suggested that having an organized personal space can reduce depression and anxiety, not to mention that it frees up your time for other things.
That all sounds great, right? The loud, obvious question is: What does this have to do with garage cabinets?
Possibly everything.
Clutter equals stress, so decluttering has an effect on your overall stress level. Often, simply cleaning a room can make you feel both accomplished and at ease. When you think about the most disorganized or cluttered space in your home, what comes to mind? No, not your junk drawer or that one closet where the ghosts of outfits past live.
Your garage.
Whether it is holiday decorations spread across several boxes and bins, or baby clothes decades gone, your garage is where the clutter has found its home. This is its safe space. So if there is a connection between stress and clutter, and your garage is the nexus of that disorganized wasteland, then determining how to organize that space is vitally important.
The organization doesn’t just mean moving things around or consolidating your mess. This is about creating an organizational structure so you understand where things are and, more importantly, why you’ve decided to place it there. Reclaiming some control of this viable living space means you can do more with your garage in general.
More room in your garage equates to more freedom generally.
The solution to alleviating that stress is to create space using garage cabinets or a garage storage system. If those aren’t your speed, there are plenty of simpler options, but they won’t create the same aesthetic appeal.
Let’s talk a little bit about the options.
Some Garage Cabinet Storage Ideas for Maximum Space
Let’s talk about some ways that garage cabinets can really open up your space. Remember, the goal here is to not only declutter the space, but also organize your garage. Here are our top choices:
- Vertical space is your friend. Wall shelving is the simplest wall to take advantage of verticality. If you store the majority of the things in your garage loosely (or even in bins), it’s likely that you aren’t using your space effectively. Either you have sliding stacks of things, creating a hedge maze of seasonal accouterments, or you have never-ending towers of bins pushed as far back as you can. Vertical wall shelving makes things simpler and more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
- Hooks, hooks, and more hooks. Want to get bulky items off the floor that won’t easily fit into a bin or sit on a shelf? No problem. Hooks are here to save the day.
- Metal shelving is underrated. If your garage won’t support hanging shelves, then you might want to invest in metal shelving units.
- Garage cabinets look good. Garage cabinets equal optimal garage storage. Not only can you choose from a range of options (or even go with custom garage cabinets), but you can mix and match to give your garage the look and feel you want
- Garage storage system is the organizational maven’s choice. This is the final word in optimizing the organizing your garage. There is no piecemeal construction here. Complete units that have shelving, hooks, drawers, cabinets, and just about everything else you can think of will provide maximum organization and storage with the minimum amount of headache.
Selecting the right garage storage solution is about understanding what you want to accomplish with your remodel. Are you simply trying to clean up a mess? Does the interest go deeper than that? Are you hoping to convert the space into something else, so your remodel needs to reflect the image of your ultimate goal.
Maybe you just want to be able to park your cars in your garage.
Regardless of the reason, organizing your space will have a positive impact on your life. Starting with your garage is an easy first step to the rest of your house. After all, it sat in the shadows cluttered to the brim until now.
