19 Items to Buy at IKEA to Organize Your Life

When you set out to declutter your home and life, baskets and shelves can help you do it in style.

Here are some of the more popular IKEA items.

• EKET storage system: Like the PAX wardrobe system, you can build your own shelving unit, which can be wide open or a little discreet by adding doors to hide your items. You can create a cubicle-like structure to hold baskets.
• Pudda basket: When you create your EKET unit to your liking, fill it with these cute Pudda baskets. While they are a great addition to the EKET shelving, they are stylish enough to stand alone to hold towels, toys, and accessories.
• Kallax shelving unit: This cube shelving and storage system is sleek and versatile. You can choose different kinds of basket inserts to enhance the look. Some people even use the Kallax 5×5 units as room dividers. You have options!

Shed Some Light on the Subject

• Tagarp: This lamp serves a dual purpose: It will light your room, and it also has a reading lamp attached, so you can sit in your comfy chair and direct the light so you can easily read a book you borrowed from the library.
• Barlast floor lamp: If you don’t need a reading lamp because you listen to audiobooks from Audible, you might want to opt for the Barlast floor lamp.
• Vickleby floor lamp: If you are into things that push the edge of design, then you will definitely want to consider the Vickleby floor lamp. It looks like a space-age lamp. It comes with an LED bulb.

Enlighten Yourself with Audiobooks on Audible

The number one reason people cite for not reading is time.

Whether you’re working, studying, or parenting (or maybe all of the above), it can be hard to make time to sit down with a book.

It used to take me a month or more to finish a book because I was only reading for a few minutes before bed.

But then I discovered audiobooks.

Instead of getting a few minutes of reading in before bed, now I listen to books while I drive, walk my dog, cook, clean, and work out.

Simply put, audiobooks are a game-changer.

If a book has an audio format, Audible has it, no question.

Desks for Home Offices or Homework

With more people working from home and going to school online, desks are becoming more of a necessity.

If you need one, consider these options:

• Micke: This is a simple, streamlined desk that is compact enough to fit in a bedroom or the corner of a living room. You do not need a separate office. This is great for doing homework. Like other IKEA pieces, you can mix and match draw units to enhance the functionality of the desk.
• Bekant: If you work from home and have a home office, then the Bekant sit/stand desk might be a good choice for you. It raises and lowers with the touch of a button, and its minimalist design makes for distraction-free working.
