Wire basket drawer organization tips
Our basket drawers are designed to make shorter work of tidying up your space, helping to maintain the organization you’ve put in place by giving everything a home. We’ve put together a few tips to make the most of them…
Sturdy basket drawers start with a solid foundation
It’s typically best to put the heaviest items you’ll be storing in the bottom basket drawer; this will help further stabilize your unit.
For example, if you’ll be storing items for a young child, consider adding slightly heavier items like story books for kids and wooden toys to bottom drawers where little ones can easily lift them out and put them away on their own. The top basket drawer can store smaller and lighter items like stuffed animals and other soft toys.
Remember that liquids can drip
Many people rely on IKEA basket drawer units for extra storage in the laundry room, kitchen and bathroom, areas where it isn’t uncommon to store liquid items. If you’ll also be storing items that can be easily damaged if they get wet, be mindful of which baskets you use for items to minimize the chances.
For example, if you’ll be using your unit in the bathroom, consider keeping shampoos, conditioners, lotions and other liquids in the bottom basket drawers, and items like extra hand towels and toilet paper in the top basket drawer.
Use organizing as a chance to take stock of your things
Our wire basket drawers can help add valuable storage space to any room in your home, but most of us could also benefit from a little clutter purge! As you start deciding which items to place in the basket drawers, take a second to ask yourself if it’s something you really want or need, or something you can recycle or donate.
Also take note of things you may be running low on, which will be easier to notice in the future thanks to the open design of our drawers.
