My little tiny apartment-sized pegboard has been with me since I lived in a townhouse where the only storage space was under the stairs. This organizer has the flexibility of a french cleat system, but instead of having to build a cleat system, you just unscrew the holder and re-attach it wherever you want to move it.

I recommend starting with pegboard if you choose anything, because it will make the biggest impact, and free up the most amount of space. The easiest way to measure for cutting is using the last whole one in the row – hold a tile over it, place another against the wall, and then mark they overlap in felt tip pen. While a slat wall system works the same way as a pegboard, the slats attach flat against the wall so you don’t lose an inch of space behind the pegboard. A wooded pegboard can hold about a hundred pounds of weight when the holes of standard sized 3/16 inch.Making a simple ladder rack is just a matter of grabbing some scraps and screwing them together, and then mounting the whole thing to the wall. The base of the unit has matching holes so you don’t have to jiggle the bottom of the tool around to find the right place so it stands upright. Another idea is to put a magnetic tool holder on the end of your cabinet to drill bits, screwdrivers, and wenches. I also like to mark the center of the picture on the tape, so I can line up the vertical line of my laser level as well.

But you could also use a stack of washers or a piece of wood to keep the pegboard away from the wall. The top shelf has indented slits for your handled tools, each long enough to hold several tools at once. There’s plenty of room to place the tools either heads-up or heads-down in the best organisation arrangement for you.

It’s possible to hang a heavier picture into plasterboard that’s in good condition if you use the right fixing, such as a hollow wall anchor or a self-drill screw. These are really helpful for when you need to create a starting hole for an anchor or to ensure your screw goes in the direction you want it to. The way the system works is through a series of battens that are anchored directly to the wall studs.

You’ll be able to hang the lawn chairs out of the way and then pull them down when you need to use them.Instead of always trying to hold my tool in place to start a hole, I use this little punch tool and viola! The Wallmaster 15 PCS Tool Storage Rack lets you customise your storage space to all the many and varied garden tools you have lying around your garage or shed.

And the goal is to inspire you to use your own creativity to transform your house into a home you love. You won’t really notice that the weight is piling up, and eventually you can have a problem with your fixtures detaching from the wall itself. Place your tools heads-up or –down between the two prongs of each hanger or hang them by their curved handles. Now there are clamp holders, buckets, drawers, bins, and tons of other methods of securing your tools to the pegboard. A good quality paint brush - this is essential for keeping your edges clean and applying water to your plaster.You receive two wall bars each 32cm in length which you can place together, or apart to form storage spaces in different parts of the wall. We recommend the Koova Modular Garden and Garage Tool Organizer Kit for those who see the organisation of their garden tools as just the start of a wider tidying-up-and-putting-away quest. There are literally thousands of plastering trowels on the market – getting the right one to start with is the challenge. Lay out a line of tiles with space between them, then line up the batten edge with that of your first tile.
