Bespoke Laptop Station
There are many uses for the Raskog cart from Ikea, but one of the most unique ones is as a laptop station. Use a shelf to keep your cables in order and prevent the cord chaos. Organize your documents, notebooks, stationary, or whatever else you need to have close to your laptop.
Not only can you wheel everything you need around but you can charge your laptop right on the station and prevent it from overheating with the ventilation grids.

Two Tier Jewelry Stand
Am I the only one who finds that my jewelry seems to occupy every room of my house? From finding an earring in my handbag, to a bracelet under the bed it happens more than I would like to admit.

Use Bins Throughtout
You can use bins for pretty much anything and everything in the home. For this tip, use the Variera box in the bathroom to give a very used space of the home that organization that it needs.
The best thing is that you can also find them in different colors. This can help you choose the right box for your decor. You can even forgo labels altogether and color coordinate based on family member.

Tackle The Paper Trail
If you have papers and documents all over the place then this tip is for you! Repurpose the Ikea Trones shoe storage organizer and corral all those papers that you just cant seem to find a place for.

Go Vertical
The Ikea Sultan Lade slatted bed base is given a new lease of life by being put to use vertically instead of horizontally. Use this slatted bed frame along with hooks to create a storage and organizational area in the bathroom or any room of the home that is lacking in space.

Use Floor Space
Make use of underbed storage without breaking the bank (or your back!) by adding castor wheels to the Algot mesh baskets. This simple DIY is a great organization idea for anyone that needs to make use of any spare inch of space. Use it under the bed or even under a cabinet that isnt down to the ground to make the best use of space.
