    • Be practical: The garage isn’t just about aesthetics — the focus should be on practical storage and organization. Install tall cabinets to take advantage of high ceilings, make sure at least one cabinet has a lock to keep chemicals and dangerous items out of the reach of children, and get sports equipment off of the floor by installing racks and hooks on the walls.
