How can I maximize my small shed?

My suggestion is to use the walls instead of furniture to organize your stuff. Instead of lining the walls with furniture that will cause you to run out of room fast, try creative wall space alternatives. You can use a peg board, floating shelves, hooks, strings, ect. Good luck!

Take a look here for some ideas. https://www.pinterest.com/explore/shed-organization/

This is my shed. The video may give you some ideas. I lined the walls of the shed with cabinets I built. I also used plastic containers of all sizes to store things in. This video is more of me cleaning the space up. You know, after making a mess of things again. But you can see different solutions, like peg boards on the walls. I hope it helps.

I'd make sure it's cleaned out first, then spray paint the interior a bright white, and paint the floor a nice gray for easy cleanup. Hopefully you have a window for ventilation and electricity for light. Peg board is a great addition for hanging tools. Check out your local Habitat for donated cabinets that can be used in your specific area. (bring measurements with you) Great opportunity to make it YOUR shed! Enjoy.

We have a small shed too, we put in a wire shelf unit, hang things from wall studs and rafters, stack plastic bins, have a tall waste can to stand yard tools in, and one small cabinet that we couldn't bear to part with because it was built by a family member, and it holds items we want to stay reasonably dust free.
