My garage becomes the dumping ground for everything that doesn't fit in my house — especially when I'm doing that quick someone-is-coming-over-right-now speed cleaning. Plus, it holds all the things that actually belong in the garage, such as lawn equipment, tools, bikes and a deep freezer.

We recently tackled the chaos — cleaning out everything we no longer need, trashing broken or expired items and sorting what was left into labeled bins and cabinets. Now, we're working on the final step: getting the right shelving to get our containers off the ground and make them easy to access. Keep scrolling to see the shelving ideas we're eyeing for instant garage organization.
