If you use hot glue a lot, upgrade the gun.

The industrial ones from Surebonder heat faster and keep a consistent temp.

If I had a small multipurpose DIY room like yours, I’d personally mix: pegboard (vertical) + modular drawers (hidden) + one “active project” basket. That combo keeps it clean but still super functional.
