Garage storage shelves provide many options for customizing your garage. A wall-mounted shelf can do wonders for your floor space as well as organizing any clutter that may have built up over time.

Consider using the underside of shelf space in addition to the shelf’s top surface. You might be overlooking the perfect place to store loose items lying around.

With these, you’re giving your garage a much-needed facelift in looks and organization. Change your garage’s shelf material and look to add your personality to your garage’s look.

4. DIY: Overhead Garage Storage Cabinets

5. DIY: Overhead Garage Ceiling Storage
Once you’ve filled up all the walls and the floor space of your garage, there’s only one place left to store your stuff: the ceiling.
