How to make the most of the space in your shed

If you have a shed in your garden, porch or terrace, it is important that you can make the most of its space to make it functional and comfortable. In this post you will find some tips so that you can make the most of your shed and have everything perfectly organized. This way you will be able to store tools, objects and anything else you need.

Sort and classify your things

If you are reorganising your shed, now that summer is coming or if you are thinking of buying a new shed and you want to optimize its space from the start, you should plan how to make the most of the space.

If you are reorganising, it is important that you clean and tidy everything you have there. Sort your things into categories: tools, gardening supplies, chemicals, etc. And assign them a space according to the use you give them. This step is also useful for a new shed.

This way, you will be able to identify which items you need to have at hand and which can be stored in less accessible places.

Use shelves and hooks

Shelving and hooks are a great way to make the most of the vertical space in your shed. Place shelves on the walls to store jars, chemicals or cleaning products, and use hooks to hang your bulky tools and lightweight items such as gloves and hats.

Create a work area

If you plan to use your shed as a workspace, consider creating a dedicated work area. Place a table or workbench in the centre of the shed to provide a place to work on your projects. This way you can use the rest of the space with shelves to store the tools you will need.

Make the most of the space under the shelves

The space underneath the shelves can be a useful area for storing larger items, such as pots or toolboxes. Consider adding under-shelf drawers to make the most of this space.

Use storage containers

Storage containers are a great way to keep your things organized and protect them from dust and moisture. Use containers of different sizes to store your tools and items neatly. If you have transparent containers, you can easily identify what’s inside without having to open them all.

In conclusion, making the most of the space in your shed requires good organisation and planning. By following these tips, you will be able to make your shed a functional and comfortable place. Let us know when you put them into practice!
