This IKEA is in Woodbridge, Va. My favorite place to shop. I have so much IKEA in my home. My sewing table is 32 years old and still going strong. When we purchased our home in 1991, my ONE request was I had to have my own space for a sewing room. I have, over the years, been able to make it exactly to my vision. If I have a big project going, I don’t have to put everything away, I can just close the door. Happy IKEA shopping everyone.
Love to have my own craft room. Next year, I am taking a section of a shipping container in my husband's work space and turning it to my craft room this is great ideas.
Sometimes these videos are really similar-- especially the IKEA ones. Yours is so useful! I really like how many options you give and how you consider that people have different budgets. Thanks :)
I have the Ivar fold down table unit (without the extra side shelved units) in my craft room and it's incredible. It holds so much and I've had no issues with weight on it at all. I use my sewing machine on it and it holds a tonne of craft supplies. And in my tiny 9x6ft room, I needed something small but highly functional and adaptable. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Lee x
@@mkmoody2870 It's fantastic, I love mine. And I've had no issues with the table shaking when my machine is going full speed which is a bonus. I highly recommend the Ivar for a sewing/craft room.
Those picture ledges are great for storing rubber stamps mounted on wood. Some of us still have lots of those we’re not yet willing to part with. The ledges are deep enough to contain double rows of stamps, so if you put the taller stamps behind the smaller stamps, you can easily see everything on the shelf. The spice racks would also work, but I’m not sure it’s as cost-efficient a solution as the ledges.
I use the picture ledges to store my glitter bottles. I have so, so, so many but it is hard to find storage for them and still see everything I have (also helps in ensuring I stop buying duplicates). They also look nice as well. In another room, they would be great for storing spices as well. Love these shelves.
I am at my local IKEA at least once a month and has never seen several of these items! I will have to look again! We use Ivar shelving in wide bedroom closets. Super sturdy. One comment about magnetic tool bars though! Use them a lot and your tools become so magnetized that small metal objects like sewing pins, little grommets, hooks/eyes and jewelry findings cling to them. This would seem like an advantage until that jump ring refuses to face the right direction in your pliers or sewing pins jump onto your scissors and stop them cutting, or if you don't notice in time, you close the scissors on them and damage the blade.
I didn’t even know that IKEA had a ‘utility’ section! I live in Europe and haven’t really been to IKEA very often but I’ve just moved into a house where I will have a dedicated craft room (finally) and was happy to come across your vid. There is an IKEA about 30 minutes away where I hope to be spending a lot more time checking out your craft room organizing ideas. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👏👏👏
I have found so many great organization supplies for my crafting in the kitchen area. Me and my crafting friends always share with each other when we found something new.
I bought the picture rails a few years ago, and they were the perfect size for all my rolls of ribbons. I attached them to the wall right above my workspace, which made it handy to grab, and to remember to use them!
Love searching through IKEA. I use the magnetic metal bars over my desk and have adapted one to sit on my desk, I put my die’s straight onto them when I start/finish die cutting and also to make sure I don’t lose my little ones when tidying up. Have to go and have another mooch to see if we have new items.
The tubs with the greens lids are amazing. They stack on top of eachother, so you can really optimize storage with them! I used them when I organized my pantry, it works great. Tip: I love labeling my tubs so I can find my stuff quick. But I hate the fight to remove the labels. So I started to use masking tape for labels. Easy to rip of, easy to write on, and easy to remove later. And it's cheap.
The Norden Gateleg table is an excellent craft table, especially when you add locking casters. Folds down to 6" or expand one or both sides and has 6 storage drawers too. Still my favorite.
Garage storage for (heavy) completed scrapbooks...great idea! My last apartment had built-in shelves which were great for my scrapbooks. I've been trying to figure out what to do with them at my new place. I'll definitely have to check this out on my next IKEA run! Thanks!
After not having use of my sewing room because my daughter was set up in there during the pandemic working from home, I finally last summer got my room back. Freshened it up with new storage trolleys on castors. Completely went thru EVERY fabric, pattern, notions…got rid of so much. And reorganized everything. Now I have the incentive to create again.
I know it's not a secret from 'ick-ee-uh' - but I found 3 used large white Alex units on casters at a studio closing for $25 each! I love those things. They're so EASY to roll around - and I didn't even have to assemble them! Old cardboard jewelry boxes make great divider trays in the drawers, and I also use cutlery drawer dividers. I store my 3" Distress ink pads on their sides in a money holder from an old Monopoly game at the front of one of the shallow Alex drawers. great video - tfs!
Love IKEA for my Craftroom and have used some of what you showed but never thought to specifically look in those particular rooms for craft furniture THANKS!
I don’t have an ikea close by, I’ve always wanted to go to the store. It was really helpful to see those areas of the store and to hear your ideas. I think I’ll actually browse the store online now that I have a better idea of things they have! Thank you!
Find a friend or two or three who would do an overnight IKEA trip with you. Leave at o'dark thirty Sat morning, have breakfast on the road and get to the store just as it opens. Walk the *entire* store, every aisle, taking pictures & making notes in the catalogue you purchased as you entered the store. You're not buying anything on this Day #1... have lunch in the store --Swedish Meatballs, of course!-- and keep yourself well hydrated. Plan on leaving the store between 3:00 and 4 pm to check in to the moderately priced hotel you reserved nearby. Between the time you check-in to the hotel, and Sun morning store opening time, you've slept, had dinner, consulted your notes and whatever notes/measurements you brought from home and made decisions on what to buy. Go back to the store Sun morning, fill out the paperwork for what pieces you want to purchase, shanghai one or two hardy IKEA associates and let them fill your flatbed cart. I've never had anything but *sterling* service from those youngsters, especially when a $20 bill miraculously shows up at the beginning of the shopping trip. ;-) I suggest more than one vehicle if all are buying some furniture. Flat-pack pieces are notoriously heavy, and if you try putting six tall bookcases in the back of a station wagon, you might not get out of the parking lot! 🤣
I found out recently that Ikea has a pickup location about half an hour from my house. So instead of driving all the way to the store, I order online and pick it up from there. Of course, it's not as fun as exploring the store, but it does save me a lot of time (and money too !!). Though I do like the idea of doing an overnight girl's trip as suggested by another commenter.
Thank you for these ideas. I had not thought of children's storage & I loved the fold out desk in the garage section. I sure wish I had an IKEA closer to where I live.
I am awaiting this, I am in love with IKEA.. I have been for nearly 40 years.. I would love to get some of the things of yesteryear..,.. sheesh. Divided trays are so perfect. I have several divided trays that fit in my Alex drawers, kitchen and desk.. I have several sizes and the older ones too. Three different whites and navy. Age does change things. Frames are awesome as well, trays, and bits and pieces of all kinds. Our one bathroom is all IKEA. Then other is partly IKEA and other stuff. I adore the lighted mirror/ medicine cabinet, Wow! Lots of storage as well. OH the bins…. I buy all kinds of bins. I think all of my bins are from IKEA. The knife magnetic bars in several areas in our house. Superb I love the market place is my happy place. I never go in with out $500. To spare.
I love Ikea for their storage supplies, I liked the bathroom rolling carts for my shower because it has holes in the carts so water can drain through. I can store my shampoo and conditioners in the walk in shower. Thank you!!
Wow, I’ve just found your channel and your organisation tips are great. My husband and I live in a small 1 bed flat with 2 little dogs, space is tight. You have given me so many ideas to use all over my flat to help organise and maximise storage space. 😁
Walmart is knocking off a lot of IKEA pieces. Especially carts and picture ledges. Also amazon has some of these items or similar- but IKEA does ship if you’re interested in that. It’s 4 hours from me… so when I go see the family I take advantage as it’s about 30 mins from them.
I love all the ideas! So inspiring for doing the most of all the nooks in the scraproom. Btw in the white and green unit with casters (kids section) you can hang things as in a pegboard!!! So more storage!
Great tips here! I really love the plate/picture racks....I have like 50 plaques from my fav sports team and also my Dad has 50 patents that were all mounted on wooden plaques....the racks make it so much easier to mount to the wall and the items can easily be rearranged!! I’m re-doing my basement after having redecorated it after severe flooding. Thank you so much for posting this! Obviously I need display items for my craft room too lol 😊 TYFS! ❤️🦋💜
As much organizing stuff I have bought from ikea, I had never considered the garage section. And I am looking for something like that first thing you showed (the table and surrounding shelves) at a reasonable price forever. And I have scanned the kid’s section but they seem to have added a lot. Thinking about the idea that they have smaller drawers etc. to hold our crafting stuff is brilliant! One thing I also love in Ikea is the kitchen islands. So many configurations and price points! And they are a terrific for a work space. Thanks. This video had lots of Ikea ideas that I hadn’t seen before and I have looked at a lot.
Thank you! The garage storage could really work for my basement craft area. I’m so motivated.Oh! And the metal rack will help me keep up with my tweezers for weeding.
I ❤LOVE♥️ the Alexa drawer units! The drawers are really deep, and the kitchen spice drawer organizer is perfect for small jars of glitter, beads, etc. if the jars are clear they are easily seen by just opening the drawer.
I had never noticed the Trofast kids' line but that may be a better choice for me than the Kallax cubes or Billy book shelves I was planning on getting (just moved, new craft space.) Thanks for such a great video!
The partition trays can fit over a metal tray by sitting on it. The video shows it taking the slide in space of a tray, but it can double up if the metal tray isn’t over filled.
OMG, you've just given me way too many options. Now I really have to think🤦🏻♀️. Thanks for the ideas. Definitely will help me out in more ways than 1👍
I have furnished my craft room with about 97% ikea everything!! I just moved into a smaller home and need to reconsider my space. Some of the pieces I have reused in the master closet, the laundry room, and my husband has 3 of my cabinets he is using for his tool storage in the massive garage. I am sad to say that in my planning at this moment, I have not figured out to use 2 of my tables. I am doing this slowly but with purpose. Please keep sharing your thoughts on items so your followers can think outside the box!! The kitchen is one of my favorite places to shop for items all over my home.
I love the versatility of IKEA items, and it sounds like you are experiencing that with reusing the items all around your new home. I do hope you are able to find a way to use your remaining pieces.
Been loving on my Atlanta IKEA since it in opened in 2005. I have the furniture to prove it’s good. Definitely check out the “as is” first thing Monday morning. I love going through the store and finding items for my art room and home. I’ve found items in the kitchen , kids dept, etc. It is like a treasure hunt for sure. A bit disappointed that prices have increased post Covid.
Yes, the "as-is" section is always a great place to check out. I'm not surprised that the costs have gone up post Covid since almost all prices have gone up everywhere.
Learned a lot by watching the video. I have bought some of the cabinets, because you can hide many things behind the doors. They are wonderful. Now that have seen the picture ledges I will have to get a few for ribbons. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this organizational video Girl! I’m still setting up my craft room space and labeling everything with sticky notes in the fronts. Using my Mama’s old furniture for now and making it work. Love all the new IKEA organizational ideas you showed. IKEA is about 1 and half from me. Shared this video. 🤩🤩🤩
Those are good ideas, but my favorite is the Alex drawers. I've got 3 of them and I never felt so organized until I got them. I love my file cabinete for my stamps. Thanks!!!
Elisa, just wanted to say I’m loving your content ma’am. This video hit the mark as I’m trying to reconfigure my craft room and the children’s section was something I’ve never considered. Tfs
I definitely have & use many Ikea items in my craft room - I have the Bror work bench with drawers which is mainly for my Cricut, a Trofast unit, & 2 different Billy bookcases. New to me from your video: the bars with various canvas hanging options. I’m in 🇨🇦, so not sure if we have those but I’ll check them out soon. Thanks for sharing!
The other day, after moving to my retirement place, I was thinking of the video you did a few years ago that I commented on at the time. And like RUclips is reading my damn mind again, this video just shot up in my feed. Thanks for some fresh ideas I hadn't considered before.
You've made me want to visit IKEA! The closest one is still quite a distance from us, but I'm going to look into getting there. Great ideas. Thank you.
I can see my cat loving those picture ledges! Up the curtains, along the ledges, over a few more and a giant leap onto the curtains again! They would be lovely for framed family photos but Oliver wouldn't see it that way. I haven't been to my nearest Ikea yet, or to any Ikea for that matter but larger things I would have delivered as I wouldn't get them in my car along with me, my wheelchair and Hearing Dog! I must go, it looks really lovely and only 45 minutes away here in UK, but I would need to keep a strong hold on my budget. I have metal garage shelving in my soon to be sewing room but I am considering the Ivar desk unit for the short wall, an Ikea drop leaf table and a Billy bookcase for my living room.
Thanks for the helpful information. I live in Toronto and our Ikea branches are very disorganized. Most products are not available on the shelves, and you don't know how to locate your needed item and there's no one to help you out and if there's anyone, they are too busy, tired and agitated. And sometimes. when shoppers search through things, they make them messy, dirty, misplaced and/or damaged and there's no one to put them back in the place. Hence, on weekends, if you visit our Ikea branches, it looks like visiting a town, immediately after tsunami.
I ordered a two tier lazy susan from QVC. It was a free shipping and handling day. I'm using it on my craft/sewing etc. table to corral supplies and decorations. Thanks for the video!!😻👍🐈
Great secrets, Elisa. I have a slim space behind the door of my craft room that I would like to utilize, so the next time I'm at IKEA, I'll be checking out those new wooden poles and slim display shelves. I hope you found some fun items for your craft room that you'll share on a future episode. =)
I use the pocket shoe organizers for behind doors. You can put so many things in them! Paint brushes, paint tubes, etc. In my last house, I had two large pantry doors in that tiny kitchen! AND, nothing fell out of them when the kids slammed the doors!
Difficult to beat IKEA on storage! 🙌🏼 I wouldn’t personally recommend Ivar system for a craft room. They’re super flimsy & unstable for regular use. Probably why the Kalax range is so popular with crafters as it’s heavier & sturdier.
One thing I think could be great is to use shelving units, on casters, as closet doors - this can take advantage of the dead space between the closet door and where the hangers start. it could turn a closet into a closable craft center.
my entire studio, pc for design and photography, and the other half for bag making and all kind of craft and diy stuff is 90% Ikea haha. Using almost all of the solutions you showed. Very nice video. I might have a look again at the bathroom roller shelves. Could use one or two.
I haven't been to IKEA in awhile and definitely need to do so! Sooo many ideas. Cute story-I was traveling with a sports team and we stayed across from an IKEA. Two Swedish players went to check it out and came back with Swedish Fish. They said "we don't have Swedish Fish in Sweden". :)
I bought an IKEA drink caddy (SUNNERSTA Trolley) and paper machéd 17 drawers into it! 5 on the lower two levels, facing one side, and 2 at each end (taking up the space below the side drawers, due to the side bars* on the caddy ); on the top level, I have 2 stacked drawers at one end, with an open box that holds my active tools and rulers beside those; on that top level there's also a full-length drawer for long rulers and hammers, tucked underneath (*bar level).
I see you love casters. One little warning. On the rolling carts, know the weight the casters will take. Some are very easy to break. So if you want to put weight in them like fabric or paper, change out the casters for dollies.
Here in Australia we don't have the range you have in the US. 😢 Our store is probably half the size of your, population would govern. Supply issues still happening also. Love your ideas. Thank you
Just a thought, instead of paying eighty dollars for that one piece of furniture, if you can find a similar piece without that ledge. You could drill a hole on each side of the piece and put a dowel through. You get the same effect holding items in without spending that extra money.
This IKEA is in Woodbridge, Va. My favorite place to shop. I have so much IKEA in my home. My sewing table is 32 years old and still going strong.

It is certainly awesome when you can have a dedicated space for your hobbies!
I’m in San Diego and unless I’ve been blind we don’t have that brilliant garage/utility area. I’m going to go searching!
Love to have my own craft room. Next year, I am taking a section of a shipping container in my husband's work space and turning it to my craft room this is great ideas.
It looks exactly like the IKEA by me in Covina, Calif. Especially the parking and entrance area

So glad to hear that it was helpful for you!

I'm glad you posted, I was thinking of getting this for my sewing machine.
@@mkmoody2870 It's fantastic, I love mine. And I've had no issues with the table shaking when my machine is going full speed which is a bonus. I highly recommend the Ivar for a sewing/craft room.

Yes, I fell like the utility section is actually newer to IKEA - very durable and functional for sure!
Mine doesn’t have that section, in San Diego. :)
I have found so many great organization supplies for my crafting in the kitchen area. Me and my crafting friends always share with each other when we found something new.
Yup! Kitchens are so similar to craft rooms in so many ways.
I bought the picture rails a few years ago, and they were the perfect size for all my rolls of ribbons. I attached them to the wall right above my workspace, which made it handy to grab, and to remember to use them!

I also have one of those tables. Fabulous.
That's awesome!
How do you add casters?
@@Genjonez-o763 my husband did it for me. I will reply when he gets home as to which style of casters he used.
Garage storage for (heavy) completed scrapbooks...great idea!
My last apartment had built-in shelves which were great for my scrapbooks. I've been trying to figure out what to do with them at my new place. I'll definitely have to check this out on my next IKEA run! Thanks!
yes! Scrapbooks get SO heavy, so sturdy storage is a must.
These were great ideas! I thought I had seen every IKEA idea but you really brought things I hadn’t thought of before. Thanks!
That is awesome - happy to help!
I agree! I thought I’d seen it all, but you brought new ideas!
Thank you, Elisa! I use the metal picture ledges for my punches. I work much better when I can see my tools and supplies.

Find a friend or two or three who would do an overnight IKEA trip with you. Leave at o'dark thirty Sat morning, have breakfast on the road and get to the store just as it opens. Walk the *entire* store, every aisle, taking pictures & making notes in the catalogue you purchased as you entered the store. You're not buying anything on this Day #1... have lunch in the store --Swedish Meatballs, of course!-- and keep yourself well hydrated. Plan on leaving the store between 3:00 and 4 pm to check in to the moderately priced hotel you reserved nearby.
Between the time you check-in to the hotel, and Sun morning store opening time, you've slept, had dinner, consulted your notes and whatever notes/measurements you brought from home and made decisions on what to buy.
Go back to the store Sun morning, fill out the paperwork for what pieces you want to purchase, shanghai one or two hardy IKEA associates and let them fill your flatbed cart. I've never had anything but *sterling* service from those youngsters, especially when a $20 bill miraculously shows up at the beginning of the shopping trip. ;-)
I suggest more than one vehicle if all are buying some furniture. Flat-pack pieces are notoriously heavy, and if you try putting six tall bookcases in the back of a station wagon, you might not get out of the parking lot! 🤣
I found out recently that Ikea has a pickup location about half an hour from my house. So instead of driving all the way to the store, I order online and pick it up from there. Of course, it's not as fun as exploring the store, but it does save me a lot of time (and money too !!). Though I do like the idea of doing an overnight girl's trip as suggested by another commenter.
Thank you for these ideas. I had not thought of children's storage & I loved the fold out desk in the garage section. I sure wish I had an IKEA closer to where I live.
It is nice to live close to one for sure...hey, but taking a road trip to one could be fun as well!
Keep in mind that they do deliver.
Thank you for taking us on IKEA tour. I live 2+ hours from a IKEA store. Loved it
Thanks for coming along!
The children section!!! Hadn’t considered that! Thank you this was a really good video!
Thanks so much Laurie! Glad you liked it!

I always enjoy the efficiency of design in IKEA . I bought a. Alex drawer on casters. Also bought some drawer organizers inserts. I love it.
That is awesome!

Yes, those are fabulous as well!
This was a win! I love the kid’s furniture suggestion 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏.
I used kids pieces for a long time in my old craft room, and they worked really well.
My bedroom is also my quilting, and crochet room. This video has given me some ideas for storage. Thank you.
You are so welcome!

You are so welcome! I used the kids storage in my craft room for a really long time and thought it worked well for my needs.
The partition trays can fit over a metal tray by sitting on it. The video shows it taking the slide in space of a tray, but it can double up if the metal tray isn’t over filled.
OMG, you've just given me way too many options. Now I really have to think🤦🏻♀️. Thanks for the ideas. Definitely will help me out in more ways than 1👍
Awesome, glad you found the video helpful!
Love this! Making over my small space home office and going to IKEA today. I can’t wait to shop the children’s section. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Have fun!
I have furnished my craft room with about 97% ikea everything!! I just moved into a smaller home and need to reconsider my space. Some of the pieces I have reused in the master closet, the laundry room, and my husband has 3 of my cabinets he is using for his tool storage in the massive garage. I am sad to say that in my planning at this moment, I have not figured out to use 2 of my tables. I am doing this slowly but with purpose. Please keep sharing your thoughts on items so your followers can think outside the box!! The kitchen is one of my favorite places to shop for items all over my home.
I love the versatility of IKEA items, and it sounds like you are experiencing that with reusing the items all around your new home. I do hope you are able to find a way to use your remaining pieces.
What super great ideas! You opened my eyes to so many possibilities. Really appreciate your tips. Thanks!
Awesome - always happy to help!
I love this song so much. I love it even more now. Thank you for this amazing and healing song
👍🏻
Absolutely loved all recommendations and clever creative stance on space saving. Came up with a lot of things that never occurred to me. Thank you!
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Great video thanks. I love the ikea wooden magazine boxes, sturdy and easy to decorate.
Yes!
Been loving on my Atlanta IKEA since it in opened in 2005. I have the furniture to prove it’s good. Definitely check out the “as is” first thing Monday morning. I love going through the store and finding items for my art room and home. I’ve found items in the kitchen , kids dept, etc. It is like a treasure hunt for sure. A bit disappointed that prices have increased post Covid.
Yes, the "as-is" section is always a great place to check out. I'm not surprised that the costs have gone up post Covid since almost all prices have gone up everywhere.
Learned a lot by watching the video. I have bought some of the cabinets, because you can hide many things behind the doors. They are wonderful. Now that have seen the picture ledges I will have to get a few for ribbons. Thank you.
Yes, those will work great for ribbons!

Thank you for sharing this organizational video Girl!
I’m still setting up my craft room space and labeling everything with sticky notes in the fronts. Using my Mama’s old furniture for now and making it work.
Love all the new IKEA organizational ideas you showed. IKEA is about 1 and half from me.
Shared this video.
🤩🤩🤩
💕💕💕
Thank you for this video. What great stuff. You have given me such wonderful ideas. I'm currently organizing my craft room. And, what a chore!
It is certainly a chore, but I hope that you are enjoying the process as well.
Those are good ideas, but my favorite is the Alex drawers. I've got 3 of them and I never felt so organized until I got them. I love my file cabinete for my stamps. Thanks!!!
Yes, the Alex drawers work so well for a craft space!
Great idea to use picture holders for craft supplies!!
It's such a nice way to display your supplies and make them easy to get to!

I like the picture ledges. They seem like they would also be great in the kitchen for spices.
They definitely do work well for spices I would imagine.
So many fun ideas for organizing any craft space.
💕💕💕
Wow! Thanks for the tour. Loved your ideas. 🫶🏼
Thanks for coming along :)
Thanks for all the great ideas. I use a shelf unit from ikea, with fabric bins. Love, love this
Wonderful!
Elisa, just wanted to say I’m loving your content ma’am. This video hit the mark as I’m trying to reconfigure my craft room and the children’s section was something I’ve never considered. Tfs
Awesome! Always happy to hear this feedback! 💕
The sunnersta set also works great with the raskog cart, not just hanging on the rod. Not my idea, but its been so good for my craft cart.
Good tip, thank you for sharing!
I definitely have & use many Ikea items in my craft room - I have the Bror work bench with drawers which is mainly for my Cricut, a Trofast unit, & 2 different Billy bookcases. New to me from your video: the bars with various canvas hanging options. I’m in 🇨🇦, so not sure if we have those but I’ll check them out soon. Thanks for sharing!
Those were new to me too, so I think they must be a newer item.
The other day, after moving to my retirement place, I was thinking of the video you did a few years ago that I commented on at the time. And like RUclips is reading my damn mind again, this video just shot up in my feed. Thanks for some fresh ideas I hadn't considered before.
Aw, glad I popped back up in your feed!
Thanks, Elisa . . . LOVE your IKEA videos. Great craft storage solutions!
Aw, thanks so much Kerry!
You've made me want to visit IKEA! The closest one is still quite a distance from us, but I'm going to look into getting there. Great ideas. Thank you.
It can be a fun road trip!
Appreciate the thought of checking in the children’s area!
Yes! So many great finds in that area!
I can see my cat loving those picture ledges! Up the curtains, along the ledges, over a few more and a giant leap onto the curtains again! They would be lovely for framed family photos but Oliver wouldn't see it that way. I haven't been to my nearest Ikea yet, or to any Ikea for that matter but larger things I would have delivered as I wouldn't get them in my car along with me, my wheelchair and Hearing Dog! I must go, it looks really lovely and only 45 minutes away here in UK, but I would need to keep a strong hold on my budget. I have metal garage shelving in my soon to be sewing room but I am considering the Ivar desk unit for the short wall, an Ikea drop leaf table and a Billy bookcase for my living room.
Sounds like the picture ledges would make a great playground for your cat!
Thank you so much for these great organization ideas! I learned a lot!
Yay! Thanks for watching!
I love Ivar , awesome new kitchen storage. Great video tour thank you!
You are so welcome - thanks for coming along!
I am looking for a cabinet for my recently redone master bathroom - I forgot about IKEA - Thank you!!!!!!
IKEA is a great option!
They also sell a metal pegboard that has various small shelves and baskets you can add to, wonderful wall storage 😍
Nice!
This was an excellent video, great ideas and info! Thank you!
Awesome, glad that it was helpful for you!
Thanks for the helpful information. I live in Toronto and our Ikea branches are very disorganized. Most products are not available on the shelves, and you don't know how to locate your needed item and there's no one to help you out and if there's anyone, they are too busy, tired and agitated. And sometimes. when shoppers search through things, they make them messy, dirty, misplaced and/or damaged and there's no one to put them back in the place. Hence, on weekends, if you visit our Ikea branches, it looks like visiting a town, immediately after tsunami.
That is really unfortunate!
I totally agree with this! Toronto Ikea stores are a mess!!
I ordered a two tier lazy susan from QVC. It was a free shipping and handling day. I'm using it on my craft/sewing etc. table to corral supplies and decorations. Thanks for the video!!😻👍🐈
That's awesome! Sounds like you got a good deal.
Fantastic video. Gave super ideas. Can’t wait to start shopping for my new art space. Thank you,❤
You got this - have fun getting set up!
Thank you for this it gave me so many possibilities I hadn’t thought of.
Awesome! Always happy to share info that my inspire!
Great secrets, Elisa. I have a slim space behind the door of my craft room that I would like to utilize, so the next time I'm at IKEA, I'll be checking out those new wooden poles and slim display shelves. I hope you found some fun items for your craft room that you'll share on a future episode. =)
I use the pocket shoe organizers for behind doors. You can put so many things in them! Paint brushes, paint tubes, etc. In my last house, I had two large pantry doors in that tiny kitchen! AND, nothing fell out of them when the kids slammed the doors!
@@blondebobbi4505 Thanks for the tip! That's a fantastic idea AND I would not have to drill into the wall. Again, thank you so much!
I'm always adding IKEA goodies to my space 😉
Im a first time viewer and love anything organization!
Awesome, so glad that you are here! I hope you subscribe!
Thanks for so many great ideas. Just wish I had an IKEA close!
It is definitely a luxury to live so close to one!
I enjoyed this video. Very helpful on the different location to shop
Always happy to help!
Difficult to beat IKEA on storage! 🙌🏼
I wouldn’t personally recommend Ivar system for a craft room. They’re super flimsy & unstable for regular use.
Probably why the Kalax range is so popular with crafters as it’s heavier & sturdier.
Lots of great options at IKEA for sure! The Ivar system is much cheaper, so it definitely depends on your budget.
Hmmmm...can't wait to see the goodies you may have bought! One looked quite colorful in your cart on elevator ⚾️
Hehe, it was!
One thing I think could be great is to use shelving units, on casters, as closet doors - this can take advantage of the dead space between the closet door and where the hangers start. it could turn a closet into a closable craft center.
That is a really interesting idea.
my entire studio, pc for design and photography, and the other half for bag making and all kind of craft and diy stuff is 90% Ikea haha. Using almost all of the solutions you showed. Very nice video. I might have a look again at the bathroom roller shelves. Could use one or two.
That is awesome!
Laundry baskets in their plastic holders are also brilliant for fabric or wadding
Awesome!
We have some lovely equipment in our quilting tools the metal one would look great on a magnetic tail on a wall.
Great idea!
I haven't been to IKEA in awhile and definitely need to do so! Sooo many ideas. Cute story-I was traveling with a sports team and we stayed across from an IKEA. Two Swedish players went to check it out and came back with Swedish Fish. They said "we don't have Swedish Fish in Sweden". :)
Aw, that is so interesting!
Lovely and so helpful. Always loved ikea
So glad it was helpful for you!
Thanks it was very helpful. I love IKEA. The do have some really good stuff. Love going there just to get ideas.😊
Yes, it is inspiring just to walk around!
I love the kallux units, especially for books.
Glad they work well for you!
I'm in the UK.
11:51 the green lidded tubs, I use them all the time ang great value.
Yes, totally a great value!
@@ScrappyWife I'm in the UK, and now on my second lot of the tubs. Also have the triple yellow lidded ones. Use for the cats special treats.
Great ideas! Super helpful. Thanks for the tips.
You are very welcome - thanks for watching!
I bought an IKEA drink caddy (SUNNERSTA Trolley) and paper machéd 17 drawers into it! 5 on the lower two levels, facing one side, and 2 at each end (taking up the space below the side drawers, due to the side bars* on the caddy ); on the top level, I have 2 stacked drawers at one end, with an open box that holds my active tools and rulers beside those; on that top level there's also a full-length drawer for long rulers and hammers, tucked underneath (*bar level).
That is awesome!
Lots of good ideas here, thank you.
You are so welcome!
Love all your ideas!! Thanks😊😊
You are so very welcome - I hope they are helpful!
I love all the great ideas you showed thank you for sharing m
You are so welcome!
I see you love casters. One little warning. On the rolling carts, know the weight the casters will take. Some are very easy to break. So if you want to put weight in them like fabric or paper, change out the casters for dollies.
Good tip!
Wonderful tour thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤ UK
Thanks for watching!
Loved Ikea. Good quality.
I think so too!
Great ideas, unfortunately we do not have IKEA in New Zealand yet (it is coming) so have never been, looking forward to being able to shop there.
That is exciting that one is coming!
I have bathroom towel bars and the kitchen hanging buckets to add tools to. ❤❤
Yes, both are fabulous!
Here in Australia we don't have the range you have in the US. 😢 Our store is probably half the size of your, population would govern. Supply issues still happening also. Love your ideas. Thank you
Sorry about the supply issues still being a thing. Ours seems to be bouncing back!
You might want to check their website. Many companies have a wider selection online then in-store. Best of luck.
Thank you for sharing all we're excellent ideas
Sure thing, happy to help!
Wow great research thanks!
You are very welcome!
Just a thought, instead of paying eighty dollars for that one piece of furniture, if you can find a similar piece without that ledge. You could drill a hole on each side of the piece and put a dowel through. You get the same effect holding items in without spending that extra money.
Fun idea 👍🏻
Thx! Love your Ikea and organization ideas!
Thank you so much!
I wish I lived by an IKEA. These are great ideas.
Yes, it is a big plus to live so close to one. I really like it!
