The garage is often used as a catch-all storage space. Besides car accessories and tools, we tend to stash sports equipment, boxes, and various items we’d rather not keep in the house. But over time, this leads to clutter. So how do you bring order to your garage? Sometimes pictures speak louder than words—but here are some practical ideas to get you started.
Tool Storage Solutions
Just tossing tools into drawers isn’t enough (especially if you don’t want to spend hours looking for that one pair of pliers). It’s essential to keep tools visible and accessible. That’s where Al-Thor’s open shelving system comes in. It allows you to neatly hang wrenches, screwdrivers, and other essentials right on the wall.
1. Vertical Storage
Open shelving is just one way to make use of vertical space—and it’s a game-changer when it comes to freeing up room. With the Al-Thor storage system, you can store large items vertically, such as hanging garden tools or sports equipment on the wall. You’ll be surprised how much space this frees up.
2. Hanging Shelves
Some items are only used a few times a year. These shouldn’t take up valuable floor space. Instead, install Al-Thor hanging shelves—either beneath other shelves or directly on the wall. This is a perfect way to store winter tires or seasonal gear so that it stays out of the way but remains easily accessible.
Additional benefits of hanging shelves include easy installation, mobility, and the ability to hold even heavy items securely. You can easily reposition or remove them as needed to make the most of your garage layout.
3. Work Surfaces
Another advantage of the Al-Thor system is that it helps you create a dedicated area for repairs. Choose a stationary or mobile workbench and place it near your tool rack. This setup makes every repair job faster and more enjoyable.
4. Zoning the Garage
With Al-Thor, you can divide your garage into clear zones: one for car accessories, one for old household items, one for garden tools, and so on. This helps you find what you need faster and encourages a habit of returning everything to its designated place.
We’ve shared a few—but powerful—ideas to help keep your garage neat and organized. Choose the ones that work best for you, experiment, mix and match, and soon your garage will become a space that’s not only functional but also enjoyable to use.
