The perfect home for your favorite car, a convenient workspace or storage for lost tools? Organizing work and storage in the garage is a task for the true handyman. We’ve put together homemade DIY garage storage ideas for a country house. Garage space planning is a seemingly easy and inexpensive procedure. And yet it almost always puts you in a bind. Especially those of us who like order, good tools and manual labor at the same time. It does not matter if you have a big garage or a small box in which there is barely enough space for the only car – additional centimeters for storage of necessary equipment can always be allocated. To equip the garage with their own hands is possible if you remember about some tricks of equipping the working areas.

Zoning

Zoning for the garage is no less important than for the kitchen-dining room or any other multi-functional space. If you manage to properly highlight your main work areas, consider half the job done. You’ll just have to fill them with handy shelving and wonder how you never noticed how big your garage is before.

Open shelves

For storage in the garage, it is better to use open shelves – so you will always know what and where it is. It’s very convenient if these shelves are removable. Excellent options are offered by most construction hypermarkets and everyone’s favorite IKEA. If the garage is big enough, get an open cart on wheels – it will become your best friend in all the small repairs and the ideal journeyman.

Labels change everything!

Every time you start putting things in order in the garage, you have to remember what and in which container you put during the previous cleaning. The only way to solve this problem once and for all is to label the boxes and crates. It would seem an elementary solution, but resort to it a few, and put the garage upside down in search of the right thing for almost everyone. For the method to work, as it should, try to make the inscriptions simple and informative. Use contrasting markers and clear, large print.

Screws and bolts

Hanging cans under shelves is a great idea. It can be appreciated by anyone who at least once tried to open such a jar with one hand, because the second was busy with something useful, and scattered small parts. This way of storage – in plastic containers, mounted under the racks, not only adds extra space to your shelves, but also helps to keep the necessary little things in sight.

Bike racks

Want to get rid of your stack of old pallets? Take your time. They can make a great bike rack: practical, compact, and free. For beauty, the pallets can be decorated: covered with acrylic paint, stain or stenciled.
