IKEA + You

The range of items that get stored in the garage is vast. They also tend to be items that, on a weekly or monthly basis, need to be within reach.  Vertical storage is key. A pegboard keeps tools, parts and everyday equipment off the floor and in sight. Mike was surprised by how handy the BROR combination wall shelf and pegboard turned out to be. It immediately cleared clutter from the floor (in particular, the space in his garage where he aims to put a second car) and made it easily accessible. Additionally, the online planning tool offered by IKEA was critical to success here, allowing Mike to visualize exactly what he’d need to efficiently display everything from paint brushes to screw drivers to a collection of nails and screws. Better yet, he could source quite a few tools he needed also from IKEA, thanks to the 15-piece TRIXIG set.

A well organized garage needs to store items of many purposes. In Mike and Talia’s case, this includes gardening essentials like pots, watering cans and fertilizer, but also household items such as paper towels and seasonal décor. That’s why vertical storage is a must. A piece like the BROR shelving unit is not only functional, but with its gray-green finish, is aesthetically-pleasing, too.
Still, what makes vertical shelving like this such a stand-out is the version of sturdy metal. It’s not only durable, it’s customizable meaning you can add or expand shelves to meet the needs of your space. Better yet, it is robust enough to withstand dirt, moisture and heavy loads (like those bags of soil). The transparent storage, via the SAMLA containers, only adds to the ease of use.
