Here are a few ingenious ways to organize and put some order in this room. Once you’ve tried these tricks, you will have so much more space in this room, where keeping things in order is essential.
1. Organize your screws and nails
It is normal to have a lot of screws and nails, especially if you’re a person who works on a lot of home improvement projects. If this is your case, make sure you organize all your different screws and nails in different mason jars or baby food jars. It is simple and practical storing solution.
2. Store your tools in PVC

Brushes can be cumbersome, especially if you just used them to paint something. Thankfully, you can store them by hanging them on a metal bar that you have placed with 2 small hooks you’ve inserted into your ceiling. Make sure, obviously, to wash them before placing them there.
4. Organize your wire extensions
If you have wires or extensions in your garage, your basement or even in your atelier, keep them organized by tying them on a piece of wood that you have installed on your wall with hooks and holes made especially for this. Genius, no?
5. Don’t let anything get dusty

10. Store your tools with wood panels
If you have a lot of gardening tools, you can take some wood panels to create storing boxes, paint them, and place them against the walls of your garage. Once this is done, store your various gardening tools (for example, your shovels, a broom, as well as your rakes) inside them.
