What to do with walls can be a confusing hassle. There's always the question of what to put where. In some instances, there are just bare studs, or if you're lucky drywall. Then you're limited to the spacing of the studs for support for brackets, cabinets, or shelving.
A suggestion would be to use slatwall.
It comes in 4x8 sheets in a variety of finishes, and can be found in the box stores. The advantage of using slatwall, is that it covers the wall, there's a multitude of brackets and fixtures can be mounted anywhere on it by just slipping them on, and sliding them in either direction. If you move, the wall is still covered. You could take the panels with you, or leave them there, and unhook the brackets. Tools aren't required to move the brackets. Imagine the ease of moving a cabinet to a new location without tools.
As for hanging cabinets, you won't need french cleats, as there are brackets that can be mounted anywhere to carry the cabinet. The same can be done with lumber storage, by using arm brackets, and just stacking up the lumber.
Once you have the slatwall installed, anything you hang on it can be moved easily if your needs or desires change. Slatwall is relatively inexpensive, usually less than the cost of plywood. Slatwall and bracket hardware can be found at many store fixture sites, and the box stores. Prices can be very competitive.
There's a wide variety of brackets and hooks available that allow almost anything to be hung on a wall. This type of wall treatment may solve some problems for small areas, and give a lot of versatility.
