The garage is the area of the house that tends to be messiest. The reason is usually related to the lack of appropriate storage solutions for each of the uses that we give to this space in the house. Because we rarely use it solely to store the car. In the garage it is also common to store tools, bicycles, sports equipment and seasonal or infrequent items.
As a workshop, pantry or training area; the garage hosts many functions. We can assure you, however, that it is possible to have a well-decorated and organized garage. To achieve this you will only need to place the appropriate furniture and provide everything with its place. And what is the most practical furniture for the garage? We talked about it in Decoora.

Determining what things you need to store and which storage solution is the most appropriate for it will help you make better decisions. Take some time to think about which of the things you want to store you would like to see and which are not, which are important to protect from dust and which are not, which you need to be in a place accessible to the whole family and which are preferable than are out of the reach of children. Then you just have to read our suggestions for furnishing the garage.
Work table for the workshop area
If you are a handyman and would like to have a space to work in the garage, you will have to incorporate a carpenter's table into its design, workbench or countertop large enough for it to be practical. It doesn't have to be a fixed table; If you do not use it often, you can bet on folding workbenches or surfaces with wheels that you can give different uses.
Panels for tools
On the bench it will always be practical to install a panel of tools where those you use most frequently can be placed in an orderly manner so that it is easy for you to find them when you need them. Perforated panels are very useful in these cases because they allow us to incorporate other accessories into the design to organize small items such as screws, washers or bits.
Wall organizers for sports equipment or garden supplies
Another solution is the purchase of rails and panels, such as the ones illustrated in the image, which are fixed to the wall and allow all the tools to be available in a simple and orderly way. Is a open solution currently in high demand and very practical to tidy up small garages due to the little space it requires.
On these panels or guides you can place baskets and nets to store sports riding such as balls, but also hooks to keep bars, paddles or bicycles hanging out of the way. And although we have only talked about sports equipment, this is also an idea solution to organize both garden tools and cleaning supplies such as brooms. Whatever you want to organize, these garage furniture will not disappoint.
Wardrobes: order and safety
Closed storage systems offer us important advantages over open ones; Not only do they make any room look tidier, but they also help us keep the items that we deposit in them in better condition. They are also safer And it is that when you have children, keeping cleaning products or other toxic products in these gives some peace of mind.
The custom garage furniture they are always a great choice. They allow you not only to make the most of the space available in your garage but also to choose the type of shelves, drawers or the number of hooks to make the most of the space. Of course, they will be more expensive than the modular ones.
Shelves for everything
The shelves will allow you to have everything in view, which will be very convenient for you to store those items that you use daily. Keep in mind, however, that this type of system creates increased visual noise, so it will be necessary to keep the shelves orderly so as not to convey a feeling of chaos.
To make it easier to maintain order, complement the shelves with boxes of the same material and color. Boxes in the same series that help protect items from dust and provide a neater view of the shelf. Finish off the work by labeling them in the same way, taking care of aesthetics.
Placing cabinets along an entire wall of the garage and providing them with height-adjustable removable shelves and drawers is the best solution to maintain order, but it is a lot cheaper to bet on shelves. And trust us, if you organize them properly with boxes, but in different sizes it will work!
The big ones Plastic boxes They are perfect for storing tools, camping supplies, sports equipment or Christmas decorations. While to organize the pantry and preserve garden products, wooden boxes with grids may be more convenient.
Furniture or recycling bins
There are many of us who also have a recycling area in the garage with those bins for paper, glass or plastics, which we find it difficult to locate in the kitchen. Nowadays there are also many options to organize garbage, so it will be rare that you do not find one that you can adapt to the space and cover your needs in terms of the volume of garbage.
If your family is large, you are probably interested in betting on large independent cubes like the ones in the first image. You could place them under a shelf near the entrance to the garage for convenience. Another alternative, especially interesting when we don't have much space, is seek verticality through stackable cubes or shallow furniture.
