The often neglected place from all the monthly cleaning or even yearly cleaning is your garage. Don’t you think your garage also needs attention like other parts of your house? This can only start by making up your mind to give your garage an upgrade to make it look and feel better in 2019. Here are some tips to improve your garage in your own unique way.

1. Leave the Floor Free of Unwanted Stuff

Garage floors are always home for many unsorted and unwanted things. You should start by arranging or sorting all the stuff that is lying around. This can save a lot of space and prevent things from getting rusted. Thus one major step to changing your garage will be done.

2. Try and Install Ceiling Storage Spaces

Set up a ceiling storage space which can contain seldom-used things like Christmas decorations. They should not be heavy so that the ceiling is not a very safe area for heavy loads. This can save so much space for your often-used tools and machines. This DIY work can cost you less than $75. It is one of the unique ways to save space when there is only limited storage available.

3. Make Shelves

Your garage is a place where a wide range of heavy metals and tools are kept. It can be arranged into shelves. A 2 by 4 can be enough space for all the tools. This can help some things to get off the floor and be dust-free. You can keep small things that can otherwise go missing and also chemicals far from the reach of children with the help of shelves.

4. Use Walls for Tools

You can use your garage walls to store garden tools and just hang some on nails. This is a smart way to store as they take up no space. You can also add a long wall-mounted workbench next to this wall for a convenient working space with access to tools. If you want to save more space and even show off your smart works, you can buy garage doors in Brisbane that are capable of hanging more tools.

5. Park Your Car Smartly in Your Garage

Many times a garage is so congested that our parking spot can get compromised. When you try to park your car in that limited space, you may end up hitting the wall and thus damage the car. You can avoid this by using a parking bumper on the walls. You can also try hanging a tennis ball on the spot where you should park for reference.

6. Make an Alert System

It is important to keep your garage door close. There are chances of thieves or animals to enter your garage unnoticed. You can make yourself an alert system for your roller doors Brisbane that you have installed for your garage with some DIY alert system which can leave a light on if the door is not closed. This way you will know whether the garage is open or not without going into the garage.

7. Organize Your Garage

You probably use your garage for many other purposes. You can arrange different category of things into different sections. Some six sections can be accommodated in an average size garage. This can make your different tasks easy as everything is well-arranged and accessible.

8. Use Your Phone to Open Your Garage

Apple users can open their garage door with Siri and Raspberry Pi whereas a Bluetooth board and a free app exist for Android users. Make it magical with your phone.

9. Insulate Your Garage

Your garage can get too hot in summer and too cold in winter. This takes up the energy efficiency of your house. To prevent this, you can try and insulate the walls of your garage and make the temperature the same as that of the inside of your house. If there is less fluctuation between your house and the garage, you can keep the temperature constant. Insulate your garage to efficiently use the heating or air conditioning.
