Garage
A garage can hold far more than the car. With the right shelving, boxes and bins, it becomes a proper home for tools, bikes, sports gear and everything in between. Here is how to organise yours with furniture you order online from Maltashopper.
Good organisation starts with good choices
A garage works best when every item has its place. IVAR shelving units give you a flexible frame to build around, while SAMLA and PAPPIS boxes with lids keep smaller items dry, dusty-free and easy to find.
Start with the shelving and let the boxes follow. Once you have a structure in place, sorting seasonal gear from everyday tools becomes far less of a chore, and the whole room feels larger immediately.

More order in the garage, more space for you
A cluttered garage eats into space you could be using. BROR shelving units with drawers and shelves bring proper structure to tools and equipment, while HULTARP rails keep frequently used items within reach on the wall instead of on the floor.
For softer storage, KNAGGLIG and SOCKERBIT boxes and HARVMATTA boxes with lids handle anything from off-season clothing to spare parts, and KUNGSFORS net bags are handy for odds and ends you want to see at a glance.

Six ideas for better garage storage
The garage has real potential when it comes to clearing clutter from the rest of the home. Whether you are putting away sports equipment or gardening tools, there is a practical solution here for freeing up space elsewhere in the house.
IVAR shelves and side units give you a solid base, with SAMLA, KNAGGLIG and SOCKERBIT boxes for anything you need to keep contained. PÄRKLA storage cases suit smaller tools, DIMPA storage bags and DUNDERGUBBE moving boxes make seasonal swaps easier, and DAMMÄNG and KNODD bins with lids keep outdoor essentials tidy. UTTER stools and tables, BAGGMUCK shoe mats and NYPON plant pots round things off for garages that double as a hobby or garden corner.

Turning a cluttered garage into usable space
Once the big clear-out is done, the real work is building a space that stays organised and adapts easily to whatever you use it for, whether that is a workshop, a gym corner or simply practical storage.
BROR cabinets with doors keep tools and supplies out of sight, while IVAR storage boxes on wheels make it easy to shift things around as your needs change. SKÅDIS pegboards and clips put small items within easy reach on the wall, PERJOHAN's bench with storage gives you somewhere to sit and stash gear at once, and a TERTIAL work lamp means you can see what you are doing however the garage is used.

Choosing the right box for the job
Not every item needs the same kind of box. SAMLA boxes with lids are a solid all-rounder for general storage, while KNAGGLIG boxes work well for anything with a bit of weight to it, from tools to tinned goods.
For moving house or long-term storage, DUNDERGUBBE moving boxes and KLÄMTARE boxes with lids keep things organised and stackable. SOCKERBIT boxes with lids suit smaller items, and SORTERA sorting bins with lids are useful when you need to separate recycling or spare parts by type.

Shelving systems built to fit your space
A good shelving system should flex around what you store, not the other way round. HEJNE and IVAR shelving units both come in sections you can combine to suit the width and height of your garage, so the layout grows with your needs.
For a sturdier, more industrial feel, OMAR shelving units handle heavier loads with ease. HYLLIS and JOSTEIN shelving units are a straightforward option for lighter storage, and ALBERT shelving adds another practical way to keep everything off the floor and in order.
