The initial purpose of a garage was always intended to help us protect our automobile from the elements, although there is a whole lot more that can be done with that extra piece of property. Properties vary as to the size of the garage and that could be based on the house, or the amount of cars it is supposed to hold. There are times when a garage can be added after the house is built, or at the very least it could be extended.

Many homeowners tend to take their garage for granted, so much so that after they park their car, odds and ends can be seen strewn along the side of the enclosure, with little regard for the way it looks. Other property owners would take the same loose items and go in search of a place to store it. There is a way to get the best of both worlds, while avoiding the additional expense of paying for a storage facility and using the space you have on hand.
Thinking Big
Unless you own a high value automobile and in fact, even if you do, you should not be so willing to blow off the full potential of your garage. You do not necessarily have to banish the car to the driveway in exchange for a spare room, office, game room or even a workout room, but you should think about putting in a few cupboards along the walls of the garage, so that you can store some of your excess property.
Neat & Organized
The best of two worlds can be achieved in your garage as you try to take advantage of the space alongside, or in the rear of your automobile. Depending on the size of your enclosure, you can build cabinets for your tools, shelves that sit in the corner to store odds and ends, or even cabinet drawers or hanging racks to store your garden tools, until the next time you need to use them.
More space than you need
If you are not handy with a hammer and a saw, you need not be concerned, because you do have other options. The most important thing to consider is this, the more you can keep things off the floor, the better you will make out. Plastic storage bins can be used to store anything and if you can’t elevate your bins to keep them up off the floor, you can easily stack them one on top of the other.

After evaluating your options, why would you want to leave your house in a disorganized fashion, or worse, why would you allow yourself to be sucked into another monthly bill, especially when you have access to a garage that simply needs to be organized. Naturally, the bigger the garage, the greater the options. The bottom line is this, organizing your garage will only be limited by your imagination and your ability to work with your hands. So take the first steps to use that space, if only to save yourself some money.
