Your ideal workspace doesn’t have to be a dream, it is a lot easier than you think. Here are 6 easy steps to having the perfect workspace in your garage.

1. Plan
Have a vision, What large items or permanent workspaces do you need to fit in? Remember to think about bench space, chest freezers and that a like. Make sure you measure and space everything so you can create ‘zones’ in your garage.

2. Storage
You don’t want anything on the ground, have a look at your local Bunnings for S hooks to integrate on the wall or open shelving so you can see where everything is. If you take something off a shelf remember to put it back.

3. Move everything out
Move everything outside and start ‘rubbish’ ‘recycle’ and ‘keep’ piles for your things. Now give the space a good clean so you have a fresh start.

4. Put in your permanent stuff
This is where you add your workbench and larger items. Keep your plan close by so you keep on track.

5. Position your storage
Add your storage solutions, affix shelves and cabinets to the walls before you fill them, this will ensure that they don’t fall over in future.

6. Finish it off
Add everything in your ‘keep’ pile back in, keep similar things together in their ‘zones’ and label boxes as you go.

Now you enjoy your organised space!
