Mastering the art of organising: two simple habits to reclaim your space

Does your home feel a bit overwhelmed? From laundry mountains to that one chair that’s disappeared under a pile of coats, we’ve all been there. At IKEA, we believe tidying shouldn’t be a chore. By embracing two simple, intuitive organising methods, you can turn decluttering into a seamless habit, leaving you with more time (and floor space) to enjoy your home. 

Method 1: The 'Grab-and-Go' Habit 

We often clutter our homes with things we use every day simply because they are a faff to put away. The secret? Use storage that works with your natural movement, not against it. 

Hallway Heroes

The hallway is the first place clutter lands. The ÄLGANÄS coat rack is a game-changer; its five hooks at different heights mean there’s a spot for everything from long coats to dog leads, with a built-in bucket for umbrellas. If you’re renting and can’t drill holes, the ENUDDEN door hanger  is your best friend - just pop it over the door for instant storage for bags and jackets.

Conquer the ‘Clothes Mountain’

If folding feels like too much effort, don't do it. Use the RIGGA clothes rack with. Hang what you can, and toss accessories like hats and scarves into the compartments. Job done! 

The Bedroom Retreat: Keep your bedside clear for a peaceful night’s sleep.

The MÖJLIGHET bedside pocket keeps your phone and remote within reach, while the PERJOHAN bench with storage acts as a sturdy bedside table with a secret compartment underneath for your latest reads. 

Method 2: The 'Out of Sight, Out of Mind' Strategy 

Sometimes, you just need a quick win. Hidden storage allows you to clear the visual clutter instantly, giving your brain a rest from the mess.

Multi-tasking Furniture

The FRIHETEN corner sofa-bed is the ultimate secret agent. Not only does it transform from a sofa to a bed, but the chaise longue features a massive hidden compartment, perfect for stashing away bulky duvets and pillows.

Utilise the 'Dead Space'

Don't let the space under your bed go to waste. PÄRKLA storage boxes are perfect for seasonal clothes and spare linens, keeping them dust-free and out of sight.
 

Smart Modular Storage

Our iconic KALLAX shelving unit paired with DRÖNA boxes can hide a multitude of sins. For smaller bits and bobs, reach for KUGGIS box with lid. These are designed to stack perfectly, helping you master vertical storage in tight cupboards. Plus, they are made from partially recycled plastic, so you're being kind to the planet while sorting your home.

Toy Story

For families, the TROFAST storage system or BARNDRÖM boxes make tidying up a game. They’re so easy to use that even the kids can take charge of their own toy mountains.
