The Holiday Season is officially over, and with it comes the annual question of where to put all of those new Christmas gifts and additional decorations. Most Louisiana homes have no basements or attics, so most everything seasonal is stored in other places, and that often includes the garage.

As with any major storage problem, consolidation is the first consideration. It is important to designate a location for each item grouping within the garage’s available space. For example, gardening equipment, balls and toys, bikes, seasonal decorations, off season apparel, and recycling are all good storage categories. It is very easy to get overwhelmed when trying to find a place for everything; which is why we recommend our professional team at Louisiana Custom Closets makes a visit to your home to share a free no obligation design and advice consultation.

Louisiana Custom Closets wants to share a couple different scenarios involving the misuse of garage storage space here in Louisiana.  And at the same time, there are usually two common categories of Louisiana homeowners who want and need garage shelving solutions. One type of client is often overwhelmed with work, family activities, and long hours each and every week. The messy garage is always on the “honey do” list, yet there is never enough time to get projects started, let alone finished.

It won't be long now before spring 2015 makes its debut in Southern Louisiana and Mississippi. With that in mind, it's time to think about which rooms in our homes and offices need spring cleaning and a makeover the most. Storage and organization make the biggest difference with change, and they also makes our lives easier; for that reason,  Louisiana Custom Closets is prepared to help get the needs of homeowners and business owners taken care of as we head to warmer weather.

We see it everywhere across Southern Louisiana: the messy garage. The residential garage is probably the best place at the house for storage and for cars, but we often see it misused and overstuffed. In many cases, the mess is everywhere from the back entrance to the garage door. Now is the moment. Spring is coming and it is a great time of year to simplify, organize and declutter the garage and make things right before summer.

As summer comes to an end and autumn slowly takes over, it will soon be time to put away the garden tools and all the outdoor sports items, and exchange them for all the winter gear we will need. September is the best time to organize the garage to create more space for everything before the cooler weather arrives. Because Southern Louisiana homes usually have no basements or attics, most everything unnecessary is stored in the garage. Why not take the time to maximize space with a new round of organization?
