You can have the tidiest perfect garden for all your friends and family to indulge in, but the likelihood is the shed is hosting all the mess.
The dumping ground of your outdoor space, the garden shed sees the worst of it all. Between BBQs, lawnmowers, paddling pools, and gardening tools all stored (or thrown around), our sheds have for sure seen better days.
We get it, with such an amazing garden to maintain, your shed isn’t a priority as such, and with so many bits and bobs to keep track of, finding a home for it all can be tricky.
To help you make the most of your garden shed, we've listed some of our favourite storage and display items, from racks to shelving units, to help you up your organisation game.

Shed organisation tips
1. Empty your space
This one might be obvious, but we recommend taking every single item out of your shed or garage and starting from scratch. This will give you a completely clean slate, so you can reorganise all your items and make the most of the space available.
2. Use storage shelves or boxes
Chances are that your space is messy and cluttered due to a lack of storage options. Luckily, simple shelving units and storage bins can make a huge difference, helping you neatly pack away all your things. Ensure that all your most-used items are in an easily accessible spot to avoid moving things around and creating a mess.
3. Hang items to save space
Hooks, pegboards, and tool hangers are another great way to make the most of vertical space. Magnetic or Velcro strips can also be added to any walls for tool storage. If you’re lacking wall space in your shed, don’t worry – you can easily attach hooks, hangers, and strips to the inside of your shed door to make the most of your space.
