Turning your garage into a functional workshop requires both planning and the right tools. Whether you're working on hobby projects or professional crafts, a well-organised garage will make your work more efficient and fun. Here are some tips and ideas for organising your garage and workshop.
Planning your garage layout
Garage/workshop interior design starts with planning. Think about the activities you want to perform and what kind of tools and equipment you need. Consider dividing the space into zones: a work zone for larger projects, a storage zone for tools and a zone for storing car accessories.
Tool storage and organisation
For efficient garage organisation, it's crucial to keep track of your tools. A great option is to use tool hooks and hangers for both small and large tools. Products like the RYOBI ONE+ Battery Holder help to organise your Ryobi batteries so you always have them close at hand. A holder for 32 mm pipes, brooms and vacuum cleaner accessories can also be a practical solution.
Work surfaces and tables
A sturdy workbench is an essential part of any workshop layout. Choose a workbench that can handle heavy loads and provides plenty of space to work. Consider one with built-in drawers and shelves for extra storage.
Lighting and power supply
Good lighting is essential in a garage where precision work often takes place. Install powerful ceiling lights and consider supplementing with adjustable work lights at the workbench. Also, make sure you have enough electrical outlets for your electrical tools and machines. This can be optimised by using products from the Interiors collection.
Safety in your garage
A well-organised garage is also a safe garage. Make sure sharp tools and chemicals are stored out of reach of children and install fireproof cabinets for flammable materials. Keep the floor clean and free of clutter to minimise the risk of falls. A product like Ring Doorbell Wired Wall Mount can also help secure the area.
Garage interior design inspiration
If you need inspiration for your garage interior design, consider visiting other workshops or garage interior design exhibitions. Online resources and forums can also be a great source of ideas. Tool holders and battery holders can be found in the Hanging tools collection, which can give you plenty of inspiration on how to organise your own space most effectively.
