Make the most of your garage storage with these handy tips

A garage is a great place to store a car -- and much more than that, too! If you don’t have much storage space inside your house, you can keep lots in your garage instead. And you can keep even more in there by using some of our suggestions on how to use your space most efficiently.

Upgrade your cabinets
While it might be tempting, don’t just throw something in whatever drawer or shelf you feel like! You should come up with some sort of system to make the drawers in your garage more organized, such as putting dividers in them or labeling them (or both). If you don’t want to buy “drawer organizers,” you can simply place small baskets or glue wood blocks into drawers. Perhaps keep all items relevant to a single activity together. For instance, all of your gardening tools could be kept in one drawer and wrenches in another.
