The garage and storage room are places of constant creative chaos. And if you personally understand where and what lies, then households in search of a hammer can spend a lot of valuable time or, even worse, get hurt on an inconveniently located inventory. To prevent this from happening, use our simple tips.

The video showed some practical ideas for storing tools and other equipment in the garage

one Accessories from improvised things

From the boards that you probably have available in your garage or pantry, you can build excellent convenient holders. Pliers, wire cutters and other tools with two handles will fit perfectly on a horizontally fixed panel, and two beams fixed on the wall at the top and bottom will become fixators for things with long handles, will not let them fall and will be conveniently placed in plain sight.

2 Light wall modules

Storage must be organized not only functionally, but also ergonomically, without overloading the garage space with unnecessary furniture and an abundance of heavy, in every sense, shelves. An excellent solution is light combinations that are attached to the wall and do not take up much space. They are equipped with simple shelves and drawers or have additions in the form of hooks and other accessories. Just install them to your liking, align with height and enjoy using.

3 Wall panels-transformers

Sometimes they come with modules, but more often they are sold separately. These panels can sheathe the entire wall from floor to ceiling and place hooks and holders throughout the wall space. Another option is to install the panel locally and equip it with a place to store small things: consumables (screws and nuts), as well as small tools.

four Maximum open shelving

It’s great when all objects are in sight. Even better, when at the same time they are sorted and neatly laid out in their places. You can combine these two ideas with the help of the most open storage system, when the contents of each shelf and drawer will be in sight. For this, not only the design of the system is important, but also the material, for example, a metal mesh is excellent.

5 Organizers for small items

Most often, small things are confused, lost and forgotten. It is important to store them more carefully and preferably separately from large tools. You can arrange several trays on the wall or come up with a mobile organizer for small things. The advantage is that it will be tightly closed, which means it will not tip over and the contents will not crumble.

6 Separate everyday set

It is logical to store a special place for those tools that you use most often. Firstly, it’s convenient because you don’t have to look for the right screwdriver on the shelves every time, and secondly, this way of organizing will keep all other items in order — you won’t rummage through them, which means there will be less mess.

7 Vertical storage

Try to arrange objects — especially tall ones — along the length of the wall. This way they take up less space and you have more room to move around. For example, it is advisable to mount all tools with long handles on wall hooks and holders. This is not only a matter of ergonomics, but also of safety: so they do not fall and hit you.

eight Open boxes or tags

To find out what is stored in each specific box, and whether the hammer you need right now is lost there, use boxes made of the most transparent materials, and if there are none or they do not fit into the general style of the room, organize identification labels on each closed box. Write exactly what tools are stored there, or group them by purpose: for the garden, for the car, for repairs.
