We'll take one of everything, please.

If you’re running out of storage, adding another big cupboard might not help. IKEA’s new collection features smart pieces that use doors, walls, corners, and other often-missed spots.

From an organiser for entryway mess to a pull-out desk that gives you more workspace, here are five new storage ideas to check 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.

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.

The new red-brown KALLAX is new and here to stay.

Ainslie says, “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.”

What are the best IKEA storage solutions for small spaces?

Look for pieces that use vertical or overlooked space, such as door-hung organisers, narrow trolleys and pull-out desks. The KOMPISHÄNG, RÅSKOG and LÄNGDHOPP are designed to provide extra storage or workspace without requiring a large footprint.

What can you use an IKEA RÅSKOG trolley for?

The RÅSKOG trolley can hold kitchen utensils, pantry items, toiletries, craft supplies, office essentials or children’s toys.
