Is your garage more of a storage unit than a useful space? You're not alone!
At Clear And Calm Home Organising, we believe your garage should feel functional, organised, and stress-free — not overwhelming. Whether you want to park your car inside, set up a workshop, or just find your holiday decorations with ease, these simple tips will help you take back your garage.
1. Set a Goal for Your Space
Before you start pulling everything out, decide what you want your garage to be.
Do you want space for two cars?
A home gym?
A storage area for seasonal items?
Having a clear vision will guide your decisions as you declutter.
2. Sort Everything Into Categories
As you empty the space, group similar items together — tools, sports equipment, camping gear, holiday decorations, gardening supplies, and so on.
This step makes it easier to see what you have (and what you have multiples of!).
3. Be Ruthless: Declutter As You Go
Ask yourself:
Have I used this in the last year?
Is it broken, rusted, or unsafe?
Do I have more than one?
Would I buy this again?
Donate, sell, or responsibly dispose of anything you no longer need or use.
4. Invest in Practical Storage Solutions
Organised garages rely on smart storage:
Shelving units for boxes and bins
Pegboards for tools
Hooks and racks for bikes and sports gear
Clear tubs for seasonal items (labelled, of course!)
At Clear And Calm Home Organising, we can help recommend the best products to suit your space and budget.
5. Create Zones
Give everything a "home" by creating zones:
Gardening tools together
Kids' outdoor toys in one corner
DIY tools on a dedicated wall
This makes it easy to find what you need and keeps the garage tidy over time.
6. Maintain It Regularly
Once your garage is organised, a quick monthly tidy-up will keep it that way.
Spend 15 minutes sweeping, putting things back where they belong, and donating anything you no longer need.
