I have a small garage that just can't seem to hold all my stuff, even with vertical storage solutions. I'm looking to add more storage in a specific area that measures about 4 feet wide by 20 feet long. However, I want to avoid anything that looks cheap or bulky, and I'd prefer to keep the costs down. Has anyone come up with a functional yet aesthetically pleasing solution for storage in a tight space?

It really depends on what you're planning to store. If it's mainly lawn tools like a mower and some gas cans, you might want to steer clear of making it look messy. Something like a covered or walled structure could work, but I get the desire to keep it simple without it looking slipshod.
I’d recommend using Rubbermaid-style cabinets on cinder blocks. It's a bit unconventional, but it keeps things elevated. Just a heads-up though, those cabinets can get pricey if you need a few of them. You could check out options like this one from Home Depot, even if it's slightly over budget: [Lifetime Storage Cabinet](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lifetime-43-in-W-x-75-in-D-x-48-in-H-Resin-Horizontal-Outdoor-Storage-Cabinet-Shed-60296U/324668394#overlay).
That sounds like a solid plan! I was thinking along the same lines, but I’m worried about it fitting in my budget too.
Haha, totally get you! I'm also facing the challenge of wanting something practical but tidy. It's tough!
