Dream Garage Designs You Hadn’t Even Thought Of
Get Inspired to Get Organized
Are you someone who has a dream garage setup? Maybe you spend time online checking out rotating car platforms, car lifts, motorcycle display stands, and other amazing garage designs.
While we at 180 Closet Design love custom designs of all kinds, we offer you the idea that you don’t need to be Bruce Wayne to have your very own bat cave.
You can have a garage that meets all of your needs with style. Consider these tried-and-true garage storage ideas that can be 100% customized to fit your needs, something we have been doing for homes in special areas of Northern Virginia since 2010.
Display Instead Of Store
If your garage is currently a big mess and you are having trouble storing everything you have, maybe you are taking the wrong approach. Maybe instead of trying to stuff everything you have into storage containers you could consider displaying your items as a method of organization.
Imagine walking into your garage and seeing all of your gardening tools hanging up on one section of the wall, your lawnmower, leafblower, and car vacuums arranged on the wall in neat storage containers and on top of tables, easy to take out and put back in, your fishing hooks neatly lined up in an easy-to-grab space on the ceiling.
Custom Cabinetry
Do you have a vision for exactly what your garage can be, or would you prefer to schedule a consultation with one of our experts to get some design ideas?
Feel free to look through some of our garage storage systems to see if anything we’ve created resonates with you!

A Decked Out Workbench Area
Looking for a space that is all your own to sit down and focus on your projects? A garage is a great place to do that, but first, you need a work area that fits into your space just right.
Is your garage on the smaller side? Maybe a workbench that folds up onto the wall is right for you, complete with a tool wall for storing and displaying everything you need above it.
Or maybe you have room for the real deal, an all-out work area where you can fix appliances, craft your home projects, and do it all in a space where it’s okay for things to get a little messier than inside the house.
A Hidden Compartment
Are you hankering for a tool wall that is more than just, well, a tool wall? Want to open it up and find something special in there, something only you and the ones you trust will know about? Keeping certain things away from children is always a good thing.
Whether you have a collection that you want to keep 100% secure or you want to build a safe so that it is hidden in plain sight, we’ve seen it all.
A Hobby Loft
Looking to turn your garage into two rooms instead of one?
Want space for that workbench but not sure where to put it with all of that equipment and storage you have to keep in your garage? Or do you maybe just need extra storage and aren’t sure where to put it?
One option to consider is building out easily accessible loft space. You could have a simple catwalk that allows you to get to the gear you need to be stored up high, or you could have a whole other room set up like a man cave.
This is something you should NOT DIY unless you are really truly an expert! One of the trickiest things about building in garages are the concrete walls and making sure that your structures are 100% secure, something we already have 10 years of experience with.
A Rock Wall
Now, this is something awesome that kids will love! Just about any wall can become a rock climbing wall if you want it to be.
Once you have your storage, display, cabinetry, and custom design elements in your garage all lined up the way you want them to be, you might find yourself having a ton of extra space on one or more walls.
This is a great option if you have an especially tall garage with nice high ceilings, though you may want to invest in some mats to put below the wall if it goes too high (even a rig for harness lines too).
You can use a rock wall as part of another solution as well; perhaps utilizing the space behind it for storage or having it lead up to your hobby loft. Remember, this is your custom garage, so you get to put on your designer hat and work with us, your resident garage storage system and organization experts, to come up with something you will love.
Convinced Yet?
Maybe you are focused on adding more storage systems in your home to increase its resale value, or just to increase your peace of mind and quality of life. Either way, most people tend to prioritize closet, home office, and kitchen storage solutions and forget about their garage.
But if we are being honest, the garage is often the place in your home that needs an organization solution the most. This is where the excess from all of those other places tends to find itself, and before you know it, you have a huge mess in your garage that makes you feel both embarrassed and overwhelmed.
