Garages are environments that, in some cases, are destined to become a workshop for all the manual jobs we love to dedicate ourselves to. Almost always, garages are used to store various items, stock and equipment. Typically, this is all stuff that is used only occasionally and therefore, there is no reason to keep this stuff in the home.
Therefore, garages are often filled with items of all kinds and this can create a great, chaotic mess, making it difficult to move around the area and, most of all, making it very difficult to find things that we need buried in the clutter. So in the garage, therefore, it is good to idea to do the work and purchase equipment which is suitable to help organize the space efficiently.

Otherwise, you can think of looking for furnishing sets to buy that will give the garage a slick look - almost like home interiors. These will always be models rated for their efficiency and functionality, but this does not mean that we have to sacrifice their aesthetic side.
Always consider what types of objects you need to keep stored in the garage, and which ones you use most often. You can find ideas to create supports suitable for each individual category, such as projects to tidy up the various types of power tools you may have, like electric drills and screwdrivers and even chainsaws.
In many homes, large amount of products in cans and similar packaging is used: in the garage you could build a set of customized shelves to store these item and to be located in just the right spot on an open part of a wall.
To create new shelves on the wall, you can take advantage of many ideas and recycle various objects, such as sturdy plastic buckets.

If the height of the ceiling allows, you can also make shelves which exploit this free space, hanging directly from the ceiling itself.
If the garage is in fact your access route to the house after having parked your car, then you could create an entrance (aka a "mudroom") inside the garage, with shoe racks and all the furniture units that you usually put in the atrium.
And if the garage also serves as a shed for garden tools, you could organize them using a rack.
