What to Store in Your Garage?
Having a garage is great if you need additional storage outside of the home. Big items or those you don’t need to reach for regularly, can be stored and protected in this space. If you optimize the space, you’d be surprised just how much it can hold - keeping the inside of your home clutter-free.
Perhaps you’ve just moved into a new home and aren’t sure what to store in your garage, or you’re thinking of undertaking a garage overhaul, this blog will suggest four types of items that can be kept in the garage.
Garden tools
Whether you’re an avid gardener, or you simply need somewhere to store your lawnmower, a garage is a perfect place to keep your gardening tools. Think shovels, flowerpots, soil and watering cans - keep things well organised so you can reach from them easily and keep those weeds at bay. Why not put up some shelving or hooks so you can clearly see everything you have?
Seasonal items
Although seasonal items are only needed during certain times of the year, you don’t want to store them in a hard to reach the place. Christmas trees and decorations can be kept in your garage until later on in the year, as well as summer swimming pools, water guns, garden furniture or Halloween decorations.
Sentimental items
When properly stored, sentimental items can be kept safe in your garage. Photographs and important documents should be put in secure storage boxes to ensure they are not disturbed by pests, or get damaged by damp or mould. Keeping them in the garage will keep them organised until you pass them on to family members, put them on display or just keep them to look at.
Bigger items such as bikes, scooters, skis or even surfboards should always be stored outside of the home - any kind of equipment or item that is designed for the outdoors can withstand the elements, so will be fine when stored in the garage. Plus, having them closer to the garden will make it easier to get them out when you need them.
