Create an Organized, Stress-Free Space That Works for You

When it comes to home organization, the garage is one of the most overlooked—and most overwhelming—areas to tackle. But with a few strategic zones in place, your garage can transform from a clutter catch-all into a functional extension of your home. At SORT + STORE, we believe every space should bring you peace, not stress. Here's how to get started:

Gardening Supplies

Zone near the garage entrance so these essentials are always easy to grab and go.

Items to store:

Shovel
Rake
Wheelbarrow
Watering can
Seeds
Gloves
Sod

Household Maintenance

Store higher up or inside cabinets to keep items safe and out of kids' reach.

Ideal for:

Paint cans & brushes
Light bulbs
Basic tools
Backstock supplies

Bulky Outdoor Equipment

Use wall-mounted systems or flat storage close to the garage door for easy access.

Great for storing:

Lawn mower
Leaf blower
Bicycles
Workout gear
Motor bikes
Ladders
Generators

Kids' Items

Place on lower shelves, near the house door and away from tools or hazardous items.

Include:

Bicycles & scooters
Baby pools & toys
Chalk, bubbles, strollers, slip ’n slides

Outdoor Games & Beach Gear

Side walls are perfect for beach and seasonal fun gear, making it simple to load and unload from the car.

Think:

Beach chairs
Umbrellas
Towels
Life vests
Ice chests

Seasonal Decor & Memorabilia

Store up high or in overhead racks—these items are used less often, so keep them out of your everyday zone.

Examples:

Holiday lights and ornaments
Yard decor
Tree stands
Wreaths, flags, and memorabilia

Small Sporting Goods

Keep within arm’s reach, along utility walls or shelves close to the car for easy drop-off after practices.

Items include:

Uniforms
Bats & clubs
Rackets
Sports balls
Shoes, mitts, and water bottles
