What I will say is, if you are storing tools to use in another spot, make sure you can get them in and out easily, or you won't bother. Adam Savage talks about "first order retrieval", which sounds wanky, but if you have to move a lot of shit to get at your router, guess what you'll put off using. That's why tool/peg boards are more than just showing off your stuff, if you can just grab what you need, the whole process is much more enjoyable. I'm getting to the stage where I'm breaking that mantra so will need a storage redesign soon.
Fair point. Have done the same with kitchen and clothes storage. As open as possible so I can see all I've got and trying to avoid clutter hiding away.
