Always nice to see what others are dealing with, good work @Joe*Pro 
I'm fortunate enough to have an adequate space to work on and store my bikes in, but it is quite cramped, dark (certainly was before I added a few more lights, though natural light would be nice!), freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and near impossible to take a decent picture of! It's always been my plan to make it in to a nicer place to be, but that plays second fiddle to building bikes etc.
I'm planning a bit of a tidy up and strip down of a few bikes this weekend, so perhaps I'll try and take a photo for the thread.

Chair for looking at bikes. Check
Parts drawer storage and magazine archive. Check
Clothes rack for Jersey storage. Check
Slowly running out of space. Naturally.
Reckon there's space for 2 more before I actually have no room to work on more bike builds!
The one near the window goes temporarily outside when I need to set up the bike stand.
Signing in to see others space management!
Cheers.

I suppose the way I've organised my space is a reflection of my inner psyche. Loved going to a bike shop in my teens that was a mix of Raleigh dealer/ model shop/ fishing tackle (dropped the tackle part fairly easily!!)
Came about when me and the wife bought a house....the garage wasn't big enough to house my classic car so we turned it into a playroom for the kids. The deal was if I gave up that space, I could have an identical sized single garage mancave space for the bikes. The collection has grown and space is running tight (although I do have separate storage for riders!)
Interested to see how others organise their space.. I've turned the bikes in opposite directions to fit more in for example....originally they were turned like a shop display, all facing outwards.
But yes, I'd always envisioned it as my own personal shop to Ogle over. Interested to see what others have done with a limited space.
Mine is more showroom space with an annexe for riders and a build space for one at a time builds rather seeing it as a workshop for maintaining a fleet.

for those looking to do there’s up, what’s the max number of built bikes you can fit top/tale in a 2 meter long space. Is it 6 bikes ? ..but so they are ready to ride, no missing wheels or twisted handle bars.
