The real solution to storage issues is to throw away all the junk and buy a house with a three car garage.
I have a 3.5 car garage, and I still decided to build a shed to open up the third space. I don't care how big the garage is, I don't like a bunch of crap cluttered on the ground.
I have all seasonal storage above the third door and along exterior edge. All in Tupperware bins.
I have three shelves in the 'half' area ranging from 4'-6'. One is all hats. One is winter boots and child carrying backpack thingys, the other one is skis, snowboard, ski boots and a few odds and ends.
I have a single shelf dedicated for the patio cushion furniture storage box.
I have an 8'x8' area (two 4x8 osb sheets) up in the rafters with random crap I don't access often.
Another 4' shelf with odds and ends all in Tupperware bins.
Then more stuff on top of my upper cabinets and boxes of diapers and wipes on top of the beer fridge.
Then a 6' counter top on base cabinets which is usually clear except for my 5 drawer tool box.
3 ladders all on the wall on hooks, and a double stroller, jogger, and umbrella stroller all on hooks as well.
Man I do have a lot of crap.
