Office Organization Archives

I don’t know what it is about a new year that makes us all want to declutter and organize our homes. As part of this yearly ritual, I’m always on the hunt for easy storage solutions and one of my go-to shopping sources is always Ikea.

Every time I shop Ikea I ponder purchasing the Raskog Utility Cart. This cute little storage cart is just one of those pieces that you can image using in a thousand different ways around the house And the $29.99 price point makes it even more attractive.

To convince myself and maybe you too, I’ve rounded up some photos showing different ways this storage cart can be styled.

CREATIVE IDEAS USING THE RASKOG UTILITY STORAGE CART

When space is tight, the Raskog cart makes an ideal side table and the three storage shelves can hold an array of items for quick access.

I love the idea of using this cart in the kitchen to hold cooking supplies you use frequently. When not in use the cart and be pushed into a corner or tucked into a pantry closet.

Use the cart to hold functional and decorative accessories in the kitchen. It’s a great spot to place potted herbs.

And when more space is needed, just double up on the cart storage.

The barcart trend continues to be strong and the Raskog cart is fun for a small cocktail station. And the perfect piece to hold cocktail or cookbooks.

And if the turquoise, beige or dark gray color options don’t work with you decor, this cart is easy to spray paint for a custom look.

And another selling point is the ability to hang magnetic rods and buckets on the cart for even more storage options.

Use the cart to towels and toiletries in a guest bathroom.

The idea of all my cleaning supplies in one place just might have persuaded me to buy the Raskog cart.

The cart makes a pretty cute storage shelf for seasonal footwear and fashion accessories.

And for all you crafters and sewers out there, this cart has endless possibilities for storage and organization. The mobility makes the cart easy to move around your craft space or even to another room in your house.

I love how the Raskog easily tucks into a closet space and under shelving.

Mount the top bin upside down to create a solid working station for a sewing machine, laptop or office equipment.

There are lots of storage carts on the market but in my book the Raskog Utility Cart is one of the best and definitely one of the more versatile pieces you can buy.

Cheers to the weekend!

When it comes to creative work spaces, the space below is one of my all time favorites. I love how open the room is and the sense of organization and order. And despite all the structure in the room, the space exudes warmth and creativity.

Even if you don’t have a creative space as big as this, you can be inspired by some of the details in this room:

♦ Use baskets to add texture, warmth and organization

♦ Use decorative tags to label baskets, bins and storage boxes

♦ Create a sense of order by using one style of storage box or binder

♦ Opt for nontraditional seating if it works for how you use the space

♦ Add a narrow counter height table to serve as your computer desk and then use a large table as a work surface

♦ Hang decorative lighting to add style and highlight the work area within the room
