Mountains of snow on the horizon mean that it is time for the constant use of shovels, snowplows, skis and much more. Prepare properly winter inventory and equipment for daily use, rationally equipping your garage.
The organized hangar, which acts as a functional storage space, will have everything you need to be available, which will make it easy and effective to do household chores.
Today we offer readers of the site about small interiors to optimize the space of boxing, following the advice of professionals.
Matching plan

Before you make any move, carefully evaluate the space. Even if you want to do all the routine work yourself, you should contact the professionals to help create a plan for the necessary work.
"It is necessary to understand what exactly are your personal requirements for storage systemsand then come up with your own unit that meets your needs, "said Jeff Murphy, president of Murphy and Co. Design. "It's amazing how a good interior of a parking lot can improve the quality of life."
Avoid conventional floor storage

The first rule: keep the floor as free as possible.
"The melting snow from your car will necessarily make the objects standing below, wet and dirty," says Rozalia Kiss, a design manager from transFORM | The Art of Custom Storage.
Work with your walls
Shelter system
Using all the available vertical space not only saves the floors from things, but also provides the optimum space for the car.
"Consider the wall track system so that shovels or other tools can be suspended in a convenient, easily accessible place near the garage door," advises Rozalia Kiss. - For heavy bulky items, such as winter sports equipment, install strong racks with metal ribs of rigidity. "
Use ubiquitous storage

Is the available space of the wall over? Look close at the ceiling.
"There are many companies that specialize in the simple arrangement of garage storage, saving your costs and installing systems under the roof," says Jeff Murphy.
Consider the possibility of creating a special rack

Jeff Murphy offers the arrangement of specialized sports or mechanical sections in the room next to the entrance to the parking lot.
"These areas are well suited for large wardrobes with open shelves and shelvingwhich work perfectly to unload children's sports items right from the car to the room where it does not matter that they are damp and dirty, "he says. "Such a premise, as a rule, is heated on a par with the whole house."
Equip ski and snowboard holders
Shelter system
"Mounting the skis and boards on the wall is a great way to keep the garage from mess," says Jeff Murphy. - This allows you to keep equipment in a designated place, not on the floor, protecting against accidental overturning. "
Keep sand and salt on hand
Organized Hawaii
Use pull-out wire baskets or containers with a hinged cover for easy access to reagents and even bird food (if it is well packaged).
"It also helps to keep them protected from floor moisture and dirt throughout the winter," advises Rozalia Kiss.
Install the motion sensor and LED lights on the batteries
Shelter system
You never know when a winter storm can happen, so it's better to be ready for it.
"Motion sensor and LED lighting, powered by batteries, will help you find the tools you need in the event of a power outage. They are easy to install under hanging shelves for lighting table tops, and can also be mounted in drawers and wall cabinets, "explains Rozalia Kiss.
About the original ideas of storage of winter inventory and the organization of garage space, we learned from Shawn Gauthier.
