Workshop Storage Ideas

Nothing boosts productivity in the workshop like a clean, organized workspace. With a clutter-free environment, you can focus more time on your projects and less on searching in messy piles and drawers for the right tools.

The right workshop storage solutions can help your streamline your space, keeping all your essentials organized and within reach. From hand tools to power tools to ladders, here's how to upgrade your workshop storage setup.

1. Power Tools: Drills, Drivers, and More

Electric drills, impact drivers, oscillating saws, and more are staples for every workshop. As some of the most-used tools in your arsenal, they should be both organized and within arm's reach.

Keep them organized with the Clifton Power Tool Organizer. The four slots serve as a home base for your most-used tools, and the shelf provides space for chargers, drill bits, and other accessories.

2. Cords, Hoses, and Ropes

Shop Luray Utility Straps With Carry Handle

Tangled cords, hoses, ropes, and wires are not just unpleasant and inefficient to work with—they are eyesores. Plus, when you go to use them, you have to go through the laborious process of detangling.

Save yourself time and keep your space from looking cluttered: tie up all your loose items using Luray Utility Straps with Carry Handle. They fasten securely with hook-and-loop closure and include a comfortable rubber handle for easy transport and hanging storage. With utility straps keeping everything organized, you can get your projects done without any wasted time.

3. Small Hand Tools: Wrenches, Screwdrivers, and Pliers

Frequently-used hand tools should be neat and accessible. You need them for nearly every project, but it's easy for them to become disorganized and lost. When stored in a workbench, it's not uncommon to open every single drawer to find the specific tool you need.

The storage solution is to keep your most frequently used hand tools in the open, yet organized. That’s why pegboards are workshop staples; each tool has a home on the pegboard, so it keeps small tools neatly organized and easily findable.

The Pristine Pegboard System keeps your most-used tools out in the open yet organized, with a place for every tool. The pegboard panels are constructed from heavy-duty powder-coated steel for the ultimate strength and durability. The system comes with a set of attachments to customize your setup. With a workshop pegboard system, you’ll never have to go searching for a tool ever again.

4. Long-Handled Yard Tools and Power Tools

Imagine a garage or workshop with tools lining the walls or piled on the floor—power tools, yard tools, and anything else that isn’t tucked away easily. If your space looks anything like this, you probably don’t have enough storage space.

Optimize your space with customizable storage that keeps your tools neat, accessible, and easy to clean around. The Modular Tool Organizer is made from ultra-sturdy steel and can hold your entire collection of long-handled and power tools—even some lawnmowers. Its wall mount design installs directly into wall studs for maximum strength.

The rack can support up to 600 lbs, holding a large amount of tools in a small amount of space. Organize everything from line trimmers and extension cords to ladders and rakes. The rack is incredibly versatile in both use and setup: arrange the included attachments in the configuration that works best for your collection of tools.

This is a staple piece that anyone with long tools needs to keep their workshop in the best working condition. Stop wasting time searching for tools and reorganizing, and invest in storage that works.

5. No-Assembly-Required Tool Storage

Another heavy-duty wall-mounted tool storage option is the Bedrock Tool Organizer for instant organization. It arrives fully assembled and mounts directly to wall studs to support up to 250 lbs.

6. Cleaning Supplies

Messes happen in the workshop. Between oil spills, gluey fingers, and other types of messes, be prepared with the Quick Clean Paper Towel Holder. When an emergency strikes, you don’t want to have to go inside to fetch your supplies for cleanup. It’s much more convenient to keep essentials nearby, including paper towels and rags, in addition to different types of sprays.

This wall-mounted rack with a paper towel rod can serve as your home base for workshop cleanup. Instead of running inside to get cleaning supplies, you can keep them right where the messes happen.

It's also a versatile shelf setup for car wash, gardening, pet care, and auto care supplies. Its size makes it a great addition to any space, small or large. With all your cleaning supplies centralized, you'll never have to go searching for a spray bottle again. 

7. Compact Tool Storage

Maximize space with the Bedrock Garage Wall Hook. Its minimalist design makes it ideal for storing frequently used tools, ladders, brooms, and more. By lifting items off the ground, this hook helps maintain a tidy and efficient workshop.

Its compact design fits on a single wall stud, making it perfect for installation in tough-to-use spaces like between windows or by the garage door.

It works well as a home base for your set of frequently used tools. But, it can also be a space to store items that would otherwise be leaned against your workshop wall due to lack of appropriate storage: ladders, brooms, buckets, and more. Raising your tools off the ground helps a space look more intentional, and the Bedrock Garage Wall Hook can help you achieve that.

8. Miscellaneous Storage

The last piece every workshop needs is a shelf system to help you organize items off the ground. It’s very common for a workshop or garage to have miscellaneous items like paint cans and toolboxes sitting on the floor—often because there isn’t storage that makes sense.

The Bristol Wall Shelves are perfect for storing heavy-duty items—the system supports up to 200 lbs per shelf. Make your shop project-ready with a shelf to organize the last of your items.

A well-organized workshop saves time, reduces stress, and makes every project more enjoyable and efficient. With these storage solutions, you can create a workshop that works for you. Find the right setup and get back to doing what you love—building, fixing and creating.
