Storage options using your garage
Notes:
- The garage can become the perfect place to store items you don’t use frequently.
- Your storage options include garage cabinets – hoist systems – and garage shelving.
- Just make sure you don’t crowd your garage where it can’t be used properly – that is, where you are unable to park your auto during the night because the storage items are stacked where the car used to be.

If not the garage – how about the attic
Notes:
- If your garage space is limited, perhaps the attic can be considered for storage options.
- Just like inside the garage, you can build storage shelving to neatly store items based on usage, seasons, and other identification.
- But note, the garage and attic are not climate controlled – and both areas can get very hot during the summer.
- So make sure the items you store can withstand the summer heat.

But what if …?
Notes:
- But what if you need access to items more frequently than not – say, art materials whenever your child needs to do an art project.
- Store them high up in the garage or attic is not the best solution.
- Then you might consider a storage cabinet or standing closet – tucked neatly in room corner.
- Something that can be accessed anytime you need.

Maybe your stuff is important
Notes:
- Your stuff has grown because the kids have grown – and they need more room for clothes, books, sports, etc.
- Here is an idea that might work – building storage space without taking up any additional home area.
- This could be the attic stairs or upstair stair area – some custom building that opens up storage options for whatever you need.

Don’t forget the shed
Notes:
- Your backyard shed could become your storage unit – along with your garden equipment and supplies.
- Your storage shed may have an attic rafter area – the perfect place to store boxes and bins without interfering with your garden stuff.
- And if you need more space, cordon off one section of the shed and install shelving.

Finally, if your can’t find space at home
Notes:
- Your final solution after running out of storage options at home is renting a storage unit.
- You can pay a monthly fee to store away items you JUST can’t get rid of.
- At least this option will open up your garage – attic – shed – and other storage space for those items that are more important.
