The garage acts as more than a place to park a car. The average homeowner's garage performs double-duty as a storage facility. Putting things inside a garage does keep clutter from accumulating inside the home. Unfortunately, creating a cluttered mess inside the garage leads to a disorganized disaster for the homeowner. Exploring custom storage options, from companies like Cinti Closets LLC, addresses the problem with clutter and does something else. A well-made custom storage setup delivers aesthetic benefits. The enhanced aesthetics could even better support the organizational configuration of the garage.

Devising Organization and Looks

Installing closets, overhead bins, and drawers provides a means of getting a garage in order.  All your belonging now have places to go. Don't make the critical error of throwing things randomly into the storage containers. Such an approach will only turn a visibly disorganized mess into an "out of sight, out of mind" one. Instead, follow a logical storage strategy.

Coordinate the Storage Container Materials

Closets with metal-like doors may be perfect for keeping tools hidden from view. Wooden drawers with a wicker-like look may be set aside for keeping old clothes, blankets, and the like. No matter how you choose to "material coordinate" things, the materials tell you where a category of belongings resides. Among the most annoying aspects of disorganization is not knowing where anything is. Material-coordinated storage setups immediately suggest what type of items are hidden away and where.

Color Code the Storage Containers

Itemizing the belongings placed inside the storage containers further makes it easier to find things. Taping a piece of paper on the side of the container reflects a simple way to log what is inside. Those who don't want an over-sized, taped-up paper detracting from the looks could record items on their smartphone. Requesting custom color-coded handles on the doors/drawers/bins further helps with organization. Storage handles coded red, green, blue, and so on act like an alert system. Mark the color code down on the inventory on your smartphone. The critical point here involves diligently making additions and subtractions when removing or adding things. Otherwise, incomplete logs lead to struggling to locate stored items.

Strategically Blend Containers

Placing the things you use the most near the garage door makes sense. Putting "old and forgotten stuff" in the far corner is equally wise. So does avoiding shapes, sizes, and color schemes that clash with the interior look of the garage. If the floor is gray and the ceiling made from oak-wood beams, you want the storage units to blend in. Otherwise, the visuals will be off, and the newly designed organizational layout won't add to beautification.
