If you’re like me, your workshop storage is a bit of a mixed bag—now is finally the time to make your shop look more finished and cohesive with these few upgrades.
DIY Workshop Storage Makeover
Is your workshop storage a chaotic mix of colors, materials, and makeshift solutions? Mine was too—until I decided to give it a serious upgrade! From demo and fresh paint to installing sleek, industrial-strength cabinets, I transformed my space into a clean, cohesive, and ultra-functional workshop. Ready to tackle your own storage makeover? Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Demo & Paint
Before anything else, we tackled the demo. Clearing out the old, mismatched storage gave us a blank slate to work with. Then, I painted the drywall, and let me tell you—that alone made a massive difference! Just a fresh coat of paint instantly made the space feel brighter and more polished.
Step 2: Installing the Seville Classics Cabinets
The real game-changer was installing cabinets from Seville Classics. These aren’t just any cabinets—they use a French cleat hanging system, which makes them super user-friendly to install. Once the cleats were mounted on the wall, we simply secured the cabinets in place.
What I love about Seville cabinets:
- Industrial Strength: Sturdy enough to handle all my tools and supplies.
- Adjustable Shelves: Customizable storage for different-sized items.
- Cord Management: Built-in grommet holes to keep power cords organized.
- Magnetic Latch & Locking Doors: These keep everything secure and tidy.
Step 3: The Big Storage Unit
We didn’t stop at just cabinets—we also brought in a larger storage unit to maximize space. And let’s be honest: nothing says “I’m a DIYer” like upgrading your storage to fit your ever-growing collection of tools and materials!
The End Result: A Cleaner, More Cohesive Workshop
Looking at the before and after, the difference is huge. What was once a pieced-together mod podge of storage is now a sleek, organized space that actually looks as functional as it is.
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your workshop storage, I highly recommend starting with a French cleat system and some industrial-strength cabinets. It’s a game-changer for both aesthetics and efficiency!
