The ideal, for me would have been to have 2 rooms, one for storage only and one for the lab with a clearer work table.

Yes, that's how I've set up my workroom. I don't really have much choice though as my workroom is quite small. If I put it all in this main workroom I doubt I'd be able to get into the room let alone do any work :)

However, it is definitely much harder to keep the room tidy if there is lots of bench space available though. It soon fills with clutter and I try and tidy up fairly regularly. Otherwise the advantage is soon lost.

It also allows me to realise which test gear really needs to be disposed of, because I have quite a few items that have remained in storage for a long time. Other items probably make the trip back and forth maybe once a week or so.

The other rule I try and adhere to is to have no tool or component storage on the main workbench. I do allow RF adaptors and other small items to accumulate to some degree though.
