Adding custom cabinets in your garage is the best way to create better garage storage. After all, who couldn’t use a little extra space in their garage?
For many people, the garage is this cluttered space that might have just enough one to park your car, if you’re lucky. And, when you do need to find something, you have no idea which boxes it might be in.
Custom garage cabinets give you the solution to a cleaner, safer and more organized garage. Plus, they’ll make your garage look better overall.
1. Eliminate Clutter
The most obvious benefit of using custom cabinets for garage storage is you eliminate clutter. From sports equipment and decorations to tools and yardwork supplies, everything piles up quickly. Instead of tossing things on racks or just along the walls, use cabinets to store everything.
Even with racks, things can look cluttered quickly. Plus, things fall off easily. You can add custom cabinets that are sized to fit your space, meaning you’re able to store all that clutter out of sight without worrying about it falling off of shelves.
2. Provides Extra Storage
You probably have a bunch of storage boxes stacked along the ways and maybe even in the middle of your garage. While those boxes do a good job of storing your stuff, you can only stack things so high before it becomes dangerous and impossible to get to without some major headaches and hassle. Plus, you probably have quite a few things that don’t fit in boxes.
Adding custom cabinets in your garage gives you extra storage. Instead of tons of boxes everywhere, you have cabinets the keep all your items neatly organized. You can even have your cabinets designed to fit your storage boxes. With only a few boxes per cabinet, it’s much easier to get to what you need.
Since your cabinets can safely go to the ceiling, you even get added storage. Tall cabinets store more awkward items, such as tools, yardwork supplies, sports equipment and more. Of course, you can use custom cabinets to add extra storage anywhere in your home.
3. Make Room For Your Car
The main purpose of a garage is to park your car out of the weather. However, it’s all too common for the garage to turn into a storage unit with zero room left over for your car. The right custom cabinets turn your garage storage into something much more manageable.
By taking advantage of the way space, the cabinets are sized specifically for your space and needs. This gives you more overall storage along your walls, so you can still park your car inside.
4. Make Your Garage Safer
Often, large racks are the only storage in a garage. The problem is if everything isn’t stacked correctly, the racks become top heavy and can topple over. Plus, if someone bumps a rack, stuff can fall off. This is dangerous for anyone walking inside the garage and your cars.
Custom cabinets are secured to the walls. Plus, they can be designed based on weight requirements to avoid anything falling. For items that fall off easily, cabinet doors keep everything secured inside. You can even add latches and locks for added safety and keep dangerous items away from kids.
5. Create A Custom Work Area Or Mudroom
If your garage isn’t just for garage storage, adding custom cabinets to your garage allows you to set up a custom work area. From taking care of car maintenance to woodworking or crafting, your garage can become the perfect work station. Add custom cabinets that keep all your supplies safely tucked away, while still providing easy access at any time.
You can even add a sink to wash away grease and grime. Add a counter area and lights to make it easier to work on things whenever you need or want to.
If you don’t necessarily need a work area, consider adding a mudroom in your garage. Use cabinets to add storage for coats, shoes, sports equipment and more. You can also add a wash area to clean off muddy boots.
