How do I organise my garage storage which is shared?

Hi DIY team,


I have shelves in my garage, but I struggle to optimize my space and make the garage user-friendly for anyone who enters it. I do share the garage with the rest of the family and they also store goods in it. Please give some good pointers to kick start my project.


Kind regards,

Faghry

    Hi Faghry. You can start by separating your belongings into categories, such as holiday, household, tools, etc. This is also the perfect time to eliminate anything you no longer use, need, or truly want. You can put smaller items in colored bins, a different color for each family member. Add labels so you know what is inside. Designate an area or shelf for each family member by colors or labels as well.

    How about different color storage totes for each person. Put a label on each so they know what is inside at a glace.
