IKEA launched a clever new storage collection in Australia: 6 picks worth buying

We'll take one of everything, please.

IKEA just launched a new storage collection, and if your home is feeling a little chaotic, you’re in luck. From clever door-hung organisers to handy entryway grids and trending new colourways, the latest range is packed with functional pieces designed to clear clutter without compromising on style. Here are six new storage picks from IKEA we’re adding to our carts.

The new BILLY bookcase

First on our list is the BILLY bookcase. While the bookcase itself isn’t new, the new electric blue colour it comes in is. The colour is a nod to IKEA’s 2027 Colour of the Year, Luminous Blue.

Ainslie Woodham is the Home Furnishing and Retail Design Manager at IKEA Australia and New Zealand. She says, “The new BILLY in electric blue is a limited-edition twist on one of IKEA’s biggest icons, and it’s very much a colour moment.

“It’s a shade that’s bold, modern and made to stand out at home. Because it’s limited, fans should snap it up quickly. We expect this edition to sell out within the next few months,” she adds.

BILLY is more durable too

But it’s not just about the colour. IKEA has quietly upgraded BILLY too. They’ve swapped out the old wood veneer for a tough paper foil that’s supposed to make it more durable.

Ainslie says, “Some of the assembly has changed too: snap fittings now replace the nails that were previously used to attach the back panel. That means disassembly and reassembly are easier, with less wear and tear on BILLY over time.”

The electric blue BILLY is definitely the star right now, but a few other new storage finds from IKEA caught my eye. Here are five more worth checking out.

Our favourite picks from IKEA’s new collection

KOMPISHÄNG

If you’re short on space, the KOMPISHÄNG canvas door hanger is a smart way to use the back of your door for storage. 

Ainslie says, “This canvas hanger has compartments for things like shoes, books and headphones, plus hooks for hats and jackets.”

The RÅSKOG trolley now comes in a new red-brown colour, which is right on trend in Aussie homes. It’s one of those pieces you can use anywhere: kitchen gadgets, work stuff, kids’ craft supplies, bathroom bits, or even gaming gear.

GREJIG

If your entryway is always a mess, the GREJIG organiser could help.

“With its wire grid design, the pockets can take shoes, dog leads, raincoats, keys and everything else you need to grab coming and going, instead of ending up in a pile on the floor,” Ainslie says.

Unlike BILLY’s blue, red-brown KALLAX isn’t going anywhere. 

“The red-brown KALLAX isn’t a limited edition – it’s a new addition to the IKEA range, and it’s here to stay,” Ainslie confirms. “This colour has really been on the rise in Australia and New Zealand this year, especially as we’ve moved into the cooler season. It’s rich, grounding and warm, so it brings a bold hit of colour to the room, but in a way that still works seamlessly with other pieces in earth tones and neutrals.”

LÄNGDHOPP

If you work or study in a small space, the LÄNGDHOPP pull-out desk is a lifesaver. It tucks away neatly but slides out to give you double the workspace for hobbies, study, or working from home.

Can I still customise the BILLY bookcase?

Yes, you can add extra shelves or doors, or stack multiple units together for a built-in look along a wall.

Where can I buy these IKEA pieces?

You can find the BILLY bookcase, KALLAX shelving, RÅSKOG trolley, and other pieces mentioned via IKEA’s website or in-store.
