I’m new to the garage game. Bought a log cabin in northern MN a few years back and we finally got the log garage (detached) cleaned out from a lot of junk old owner left behind and I had a contractor rip out a useless dividing wall and clean things up and finish everything up with 1/2” plywood (was half plywood half drywall before)

Now I need to set it up. My wife is eyeing some slat wall systems. But as I research more I get the sense since we paid for plywood we should just attach whatever storage solution we want where we want and not add the cost of slats. Am I missing something? I think slats would bring some consistency to the look, but we’ll eventually fill the walls with storage or posters or banners. Clean slater image here. The plywood look is a Little inconsistent since half of it is old and half new.
