9 Things Organized People Have in Their Garages

The Vessla Storage Crate With Casters ($6) makes for a great place to keep all toys and sports equipment.

Keep your limited shelf space as tidy as possible with these Lynk Shelf Dividers ($9, originally $21). With the help of this storage solution, you will no longer have to suffer through piles and piles of clothing quickly morphing into a poorly arranged mess, especially in those hard-to-reach upper shelves.

If you have any bare wall space inside your garage or storage space, don't let it go to waste! Install a wall hook panel ($13) in the appropriate size to instantly transform this empty, otherwise-unused area into the perfect place to hang your heavy coats, umbrellas, and other seasonal items you don't need to keep in the house.

Place seasonal items you don't use year round in Household Home Organizers ($11, originally $16). Anything from heavy blankets to extra pillows can be put in one of these. Then neatly stack them in your storage space so they don't take up much room. Use them for linens and towels, if you want, and free up an entire closet inside.

If you have the room, this 5-Shelf Shelving Unit ($60) will change everything. By storing up, you can free up tons of floor space and maybe even park your car in the garage again. Designate each shelf to a season, if you want, from holidays to warm-weather activities. If you need more height, you can reduce the number of shelves.

Raise your hand if you have a Swiffer, mop, broom, and other garden supplies just leaning against a wall somewhere. Enter the Berry Ave Broom Holder and Garden Tool Organizer ($12). Keep it all in one place and off the floor.

If you can hang your bikes, absolutely do it. The Heavy Duty Bike Storage Hooks Set ($13) will get them out of the way, and you'll be less likely to bump into them.

A lot of people use their garages as mudrooms, but what ends up happening is that the family just tosses their dirty shoes into a massive pile. The Ikea Shoe Rack ($57) is a supersimple way to keep the space tidy. You can even use the top shelf for things like bike helmets or toys.

The Trofast Storage Combo in Black With White Boxes ($60) is great because you can truly hide everything. Use one drawer for hardware supplies, another for cleaning supplies that you don't have room for in the kitchen, and maybe devote the bottom row entirely to holiday decorations.
