Take your measurements with you and some places will even cut it for you so all you have to do is mount it when returning home. Tell the salesperson what your trying to do and they can recommend the mount supplies you'll need.  Know how to us a drill, oh that's ok if you don't a screw driver will work just as good only it is harder to do. Take a small nail and make a hole where you want to mount the shelving units.  Using the drill or screwdriver install, the mounting brackets and lay down your new shelf on top of it.  Now that wasted space has a shelf in it and you can put the small items on it towards the top.
