14 cheap and functional ideas to manage your garage space

The garage is usually the area where chaos always reigns supreme; this area of the home is usually used for the storage of all those items we no longer use but don't have the heart to throw away. And so, the garage often turns into a bazaar of tools and souvenirs: old toys, bicycles, tricycles, bags, sports equipment, beach items, carpentry and gardening tools: there are so many items that can clutter up our garages.

Below, we suggest 14 truly ingenious storage ideas, which will help you get your garage back into good shape.

1. Wall rails

Wall rails are an excellent solution for maintaining order and saving space. You can use them to hang up tools, brooms, clothes, strollers, tricycles and bicycles.

2. Pallet rack

Vertical pallets secured to the walls become a perfect rack for keeping all your gardening tools tidy, as well as umbrellas, rolled up tents and everything else that can be stored upright.

3. Equipment wall

To store tools, gloves and other accessories, you can put up a board equipped with hooks or, if necessary, even shelves on the wall.

4. Ceiling shelves

To save space, you can take advantage of the ceiling by installing ceiling shelves. This will save you a lot of floor space.

5. Folding work table

When it comes to a work bench, why not opt for a folding solution? You can still keep everything you need to hand and save space at the same time.

6. Door organizer

Maximize space by installing an organizer that hangs on the garage door.

7. Ceiling rails

Rails mounted on the ceiling will help you keep your full baskets in order and without cluttering the floor and wall shelves.

8. Ceiling bicycles

Even bicycles can be stored by hanging them from the ceiling using special rails and hooks.

9. Perforated panel as a backdrop for shelving

Another excellent expedient to save space is to use a perforated panel as the backing to storage units: tools neatly stored and close to hand.

10. Tables and risers

To make the most of all the vertical space available, you can use tables and risers to store your items.

11. Wooden shelving

A wooden shelving unit will help you keep all your things in order. Even better if used with storage baskets.

12. Wall storage rack

A wall storage rack for screws and bolts is just what you need for a tidier work environment.

13. Elegant storage unit

For those who even like elegance in the garage, choose a nice piece of furniture with doors, a work table, shelves and a perforated panel to hang up everything you need.

14. Paint buckets

How about using old paint buckets, mounted on the wall, as handy containers?
