Your garage is a mess, and the ugly shelves make it worse. You just want to hide the clutter. But what if the shelves themselves were the solution, not the problem? The best way to hide garage storage is often to not hide it at all. Instead, choose shelves that are aesthetically pleasing and strong enough to allow for neat organization. For existing shelves, use curtains, build sliding doors, or use uniform storage bins to create a clean look. I get it. You open the door to your garage and sigh.
