Years of clutter won't disappear in a day. A garage like Shelagh and Colin's will take four days to clear and sort. Gauge your own garage realistically and allow yourself enough time to complete it.
Step 3: Organizing what's left
Now that you've disposed of everything you can, it's time to find a nice orderly arrangement for the remains of the day.
You have three potential areas of storage: floor, ceiling, and walls. Utilize them according to your own specific needs. Wall shelving for garages is relatively inexpensive; garage cabinetry can dress up your garage. Bikes can be suspended from the ceiling or racked against the wall to free up more floor space. Clear containers — labeled — take care of the odds and ends neatly.
Step 4: Clean up
This is the time to sweep up and hose down your garage. Leaving it neat will encourage you to keep it organized and tidy and eliminate another organizing marathon.
Organizing your garage can be a massive undertaking and you might even consider the services of a professional organizer in your area to help.
