Recently, former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal took to Instagram to share a video of his super-swanky garage. Unsurprisingly, it’s larger-than-life, stylish and totally distinctive. But it’s also remarkably organized, thanks to a series of cabinets, racks, shelves, workbenches and accessories.
Read on to learn Shaq’s all-star storage picks, as well as our tips on how to get the look yourself.
Inside Shaq’s Garage
In the video, Shaq begins by thanking NewAge Products, which provided all his storage equipment.
He says, beaming: “NewAge Products, this is Shaq O’Neal. Let me tell you something: I’ve received a lot of gifts, and the gifts you gave me to hook my garage up, I appreciate you very much. And guess what? Guess what? I got another garage I’m building, but I don’t need no gifts, ’cause I’m going [to] buy ’cause the quality is mwah, mwah, mwah, top choice! I appreciate you guys very much!”
Next, the video pans to showcase the garage itself. Standout features include the New York City skyline wallpaper, glossy swirled floors and bold geometric lights, to say nothing of that giant Shelby F-150. But Shaq’s pride and joy is clearly his workspace on the far side of the garage.

How to Get a Sleek Garage Like Shaq
If you’re as enamored with Shaq’s garage as we are, there are a number of ways to achieve a similar look beyond simply buying the same exact cabinets.
As a first step, test out an accent wall. If wallpaper isn’t your thing, you could try something simpler, like bold painted stripes, and still get that geometric-inspired look. Keep the other walls simple, showcasing cement, limewash or even textured paint.
Next, elevate your garage floor. Shaq’s floor appears to utilize paint and epoxy to get the unique swirl pattern. While the patterning may take professional know-how, most DIYers can achieve a single-toned painted, epoxy floor.
Finally, make a version of Shaq’s flashy light fixtures with a combination of showroom and task lighting. For extra oomph, use colored LED bulbs to cover your workspace in ambient blue or purple. With these changes, you, too, can feel like Superman each time you step up to the workbench!
