When it comes to your garage it can be a battle for space. If you have a small garage, then you’re probably a veteran of the never-ending war for space. While your garage was designed to shelter your car, every homeowner knows it’s also the chief storage room within any house.
Storage Solutions to Make Your Small Garage Usable
In houses with garages barely big enough to fit a car, that means a constant battle between the car and the rest of your stuff. How to make the best use of the space you do have? High-quality storage solutions.
If you’ve got a small garage, you don’t have the luxury of just tossing boxes in there to be organized later, or haphazardly placing tools, hardware or other items not currently in use. No, unlike the person with the luxurious three-car garage who only drives two, your space is at a premium. That means every square inch of space must be wisely used.
Fortunately, Garage Designs of St. Louis is there to help you achieve this goal. Owner Perry DiCampo, a self-proclaimed “car guy,” is also a “garage junkie.” That’s why he founded Garage Designs, to help other homeowners turn this often-overlooked space into something valuable.

Garage Designs offers three main tools to help turn small garages into spaces that can house your car AND all the other valuable items you need to store. Small garages require extra care when creating an organization plan. Here are three key ingredients to achieve maximum capacity:
