I’m looking for organization ideas for my 30x40x14 metal shop for tolls, keeping clutter to a minimum, etc. I built it 14’ sides so I could build a storage loft at some point. Going up was cheaper than going out. Pictures would be great too. Thsnks

Use those tall sidewalls and build shelves up high. The space you need is up there, you just have to harness it.

I find the best way not to feel cluttered is to keep everything off of the floor.

I have a 30x40x12 and built a mezzanine across the back 10'x30' with rooms below. After some comments on here I was worried I'd taken up too much floor space but now that I have it framed up, I'm real happy. In addition to the extra 300sq ft I gained, I realized I had gained quite a bit of additional wall space for tools and benches in the new rooms.
I'm a tool guy so this works for me, I have a lot of stationary tools I need to place. If you're a car guy or want more open space, this may not work. That and its a lot of work, but you asked for ideas.
The mezzanine was key to my overall plan for organization. Everything frequently used will be downstairs inside a cabinet or tool chest. Everything I don't use that often will go up on the enclosed mez.

Would you mind sharing some photos? i've recently built a 30x50x12.. in hindsight, wish i would have gone 14ft tall. The back 10x30 I plan to frame in, with storage on top... I've sat and contemplated over many beers if I'm giving up too much space... Thx!
