Victoria Fearnley, Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers (APDO) member and founder of Surrey Decluttering says: "I have found that the biggest un-utilised space amongst my clients, is the vertical space in a garage. There is so much that can be hung from walls with a simple nail or screw; bags of sports equipment, gardening tools and outdoor toys to mention a few."

To make use of a whole garage wall, track rails make handy storage options for large items like fold-up chairs, step ladders and long-handled tools. The metal versions can be adjustable and take all sorts of hook styles. Or, if you prefer something a little more stylish wooden peg rails add a practical, rustic touch.
