Seven IKEA products that will make your life easier
Think you’ve seen it all at IKEA? Today we’re going to introduce you to some of our less well-known inventions, which we created to help you make use of and organise every last inch of space in your house. Discover all the useful things that you can buy at IKEA, aside from our PAX wardrobe!
We know that you’ll have heard of our BILLY bookcase, KALLAX shelving unit or LACK side table. However, although our forte may be furniture and home furnishings, we’ve also designed a range of simple and practical solutions for your everyday needs. Did you know that our products include food covers, a make-up organiser, a bag dispenser, special bike hooks, a sock drying rack and suitcase organisers?
Read on to discover some of our handiest and most unique home accessories!
Have you seen this little invention? With ÖVERMÄTT food covers, you can make any food or drink last longer.
Use them to cover jars or sliced fruit and vegetables to stop them from getting damaged or absorbing smells from other foods in your fridge.
And what do you think of our 365+ lunch box with removable inserts? You can separate your main dish from your salad or pack your snack in a separate section. One of the inserts has a lid, making it ideal for storing sauces and dressings. Plus, the lid is airtight so it prevents liquids from leaking out. No more excuses — now you can take your Tupperware to work safely!
Let’s stay in the kitchen… what do you think of our UTRUSTAD pot and pan protector? Use this felt separator to prevent your cookware from becoming scratched or damaged. And there’s more! Our VARIERA transparent drawer mat dampens noise and protects your kitchenware and furniture.
Speaking of protectors… do you slip every time you step on the living room or bedroom rug? Here’s the solution: STOPP or STOPP FILT. These two products help your rugs to grip the floor better and stop you from slipping. As an added bonus, they make it easier to vacuum too. And if you want to protect your floor from the wear and tear of office chair wheels, we have another great idea: KOLON.
We’re always thinking of ways to save space at home and if you’re one of the many people who doesn’t have much space to hang their wet clothes out to dry, you’ll love PRESSA, a 6-prong hanger, ideal for socks or underwear. And you can fold it away when you’ve finished! One more tip: if you need a vertical drying rack or one that takes up very little space, we recommend MULIG.
Here at IKEA, there’s so much more than furniture. In addition to our lesser-known Swedish food section or pet accessories range, you might also be surprised to learn that we have a variety of products for travellers. From backpacks and travel luggage with countless different compartments, to a travel pillow, a set of liquid containers and storage bags to take advantage of every last millimetre of your suitcase.
Unique kitchen accessories
We’ve saved the best for last — and it’s not just one product, but an entire range: VARIERA.
This range of products designed to organise your kitchen drawers and cabinets is a collection of accessories that will make your life much easier.
It includes lid holders, which make pot lids easier to find; a bag dispenser that keeps your loose bags all in one place; a spice drawer organiser; an iron holder that can be affixed to a cabinet and a plate holder that helps you carry your dinner plates to the table, to name just a few.
