    • 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.
    • Customize the organization: Take your family’s unique needs into consideration when planning the garage’s organization. You can tailor your organization methods to meet your specific needs so the garage becomes highly functional and practical.
