There’s no need to rush out to get a bunch of trending organizing tools like matching bins and tupperware that can cost you an arm and a leg. Make use of everything that you already have before deciding what you need.
That being said, if after taking stock of bins, shelves, and hooks that you already have, you are unhappy with the look of your storage system, you still don’t need to rush to the store! Consider that not all bins and shelves will be visible, and you can plan items that you use the least to be placed in the less desirable bins behind/under other items. You can also use spray paint to refinish any bins, shelves, or hooks!
If that still doesn’t leave you satisfied, there are so many options for storage systems at your local hardware store, home organization store, Amazon, Ikea, and more! Before you purchase any storage materials, make sure you take stock of what you have to get a solid idea of what you need. The two most important features you’ll need to know are; accessibility and capacity. The more you try to fit into one area, the more difficult it can be to find or reach items. Make sure the storage system you choose will make items easily accessible.

To make things easier on yourself when looking for items in the future, it is best to establish zones in your garage. This can include categories such as; holiday decorations, hardware tools, sports equipment, yard work tools, etc.
Plan which category you would like going in which space based on what type of storage these items will need, how frequently you will need to access them, and how much space they will take up. For example, holiday decorations that are only used once a year can be put behind/underneath other items that you’ll use more frequently such as yard work tools. It will also make your life easier if you arrange items based on what time of year you will be needing them.
