Garage ideas and storage

Your garage can do far more than store the car. Here is how to bring order to it, with shelving and boxes from Malta and Gozo's own Maltashopper, ready to organise tools, sports gear and everything in between.

Garage ideas and storage

More order in the garage, more space for you

Once the basics are sorted, it is worth thinking about what makes daily use easier. A BROR shelving unit with drawers and shelves keeps small parts within reach, while HULTARP rails let you hang tools where you can see them. KUNGSFORS net bags are handy for lightweight items you want off the floor.

For general storage, choose between HARVMATTA and SOCKERBIT boxes, or a sturdy KNAGGLIG box for heavier tools and equipment. Mixing these options lets you tailor each shelf or wall to what it actually needs to hold.

Organising a cluttered garage, step by step

Everything is in place for a proper clear-out and reorganisation of your garage. Beyond tidying, the aim is a space that stays in order and still adapts easily to your hobbies and projects.

A SKÅDIS pegboard with clips puts tools on the wall instead of underfoot, and a BROR cabinet with doors hides away anything you would rather not see. Add a PERJOHAN bench with storage for a place to sit while you work, and a TERTIAL work lamp so you can see what you are doing. An IVAR storage box on wheels makes it easy to roll supplies wherever you need them.

Choosing the right box for the job

Different items call for different boxes, and the garage is where this matters most. SAMLA boxes and lidded boxes suit anything that needs to be weatherproof and stackable, while SOCKERBIT and KNAGGLIG boxes are better suited to smaller tools and everyday items you reach for often.

For sorting recycling or mixed materials, a SORTERA bin with lid keeps categories separate, and a DUNDERGUBBE moving box is ready whenever you need to transport things in bulk. Picking the right box from the start saves time later.

Shelving systems to suit every garage

Whatever the size of your garage, there is a shelving system to match it. HEJNE sections offer a straightforward build with room to grow, while IVAR shelving units bring their familiar adjustable design to even the most cramped corners. For a lighter touch, a HYLLIS shelving unit works well for seasonal items, and a JOSTEIN shelving unit suits areas that need a quick, practical fix.
