What if we told you that your garage does NOT have to be messy?

Yes, the garage: that cluttered and dusty place piled high with rusty screwdrivers, old lawn chairs, and boxes of holiday decorations. That quiet refuge smelling faintly of sawdust, gasoline, and metal. That part of your home that serves as a place to repair a lawnmower, complete a child's science project, store snow skis, and park your vehicle--somehow all at the same time.

Yes, such a multifunctional space is often a complete organizational disaster, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, with the right storage system, it can become a calming area that actually brings a smile to your face. And that system, dear reader, is Garage+ By Elfa.

Garage+ By Elfa 10' Solution with Cabinets & Lighting

This Garage+ By Elfa 10' Garage Solution features dimmable remote-controlled LED lighting, mesh drawers, cabinets, and plenty of pegboard space.

Backed by an exceptionally strong framework, Garage+ By Elfa is a completely adjustable, wall-hanging system that combines smart modularity with specialized storage for tools, gear and supplies. It takes Elfa favorites--such as ventilated wire shelves, drawers, and pegboards--and kicks them up to the next level. The Garage+ drawers are full-extension and feature a soft-close mechanism, and the pegboards are longer, allowing you to store more.

It also includes brand-new solutions like locking steel cabinets, surge protectors, and integrated LED lighting to help you create the ultimate customizable garage organization system. And the new heavy-duty work benches are extra-sturdy, making them perfect for all kinds of household projects. Depending on your space and needs, it can be as simple as a wall hook rack or narrow shelving unit, or as large as a full garage solution holding everything from drill bits to bicycles. And with its tasteful matte grey finish, it's capable of making the dingiest little garage look like a world-class workshop.

Garage+ By Elfa Cabinets

Among our cool new Garage+ By Elfa options are locking steel cabinets (in both shorter and taller sizes) with adjustable shelves. The lower cabinets can be freestanding on wheels or wall-mounted.

Garage+ By Elfa Upper Cabinets can even be mounted to the wall independent of other Elfa components, giving you maximum flexibility in your storage options.

In development for a number of years, Garage+ By Elfa represents a labor of love and incredible collaboration between The Container Store and our partners at Elfa International in Sweden. Between Garage+ By Elfa, Elfa Classic, and Preston, we're proud to be able to offer our customers the widest selection of premium garage storage systems available anywhere.
