Your Guide to Basement Organizing Solutions and Resources (for Unfinished Spaces)

Basement Organizing Solutions

In many homes, an unfinished basement is an important general secondary storage space. The goals of basement organization are to store your belongings so that they are protected from the elements and, so they're easy to find and easy to access.

To begin a basement organizing job, remove everything from the space. Then, clean and repair the area, declutter your belongings, and remove items that are no longer wanted or needed.

Next, sort and categorize the "keepers" into separate piles. Your piles may include some or all of the following: toys and games, home care supplies, bulk food items, garden tools and equipment, seasonal decorations, sports gear, and fitness equipment.

Choose zones that are appropriate for each category of belongings. Here are some tips to guide your decisions which will be specific to your needs and lifestyle:

Store gardening tools and equipment close to the door so that they are easily accessible for yardwork.
Set up a workshop near a window so that there is lots of light for you to work.
Bulk groceries are best stored in a cool, dark, and dry area.
Keep cleaners, paints, sprays and other hazardous household supplies in a space that is away from high traffic areas and preferably secured in a locked cabinet.
Earmark less accessible spaces for rarely used items such as seasonal decorations.

Next, select basement organizing products to help you to contain and protect your belongings. Here are our recommendations according to specific uses:
