The Budget-Friendly IKEA Item People Are Loving For Extra Closet Storage & Organization

Wish your closet had a little more space? We all do. Which is why more and more people are getting creative with their storage solutions. We've seen towel racks turned into scarf holders, file holders doubling as bag organizers, and many more. But of all the household items that can be repurposed for extra closet storage & organization, nothing does the job quite like a rolling cart. We're talking specifically about IKEA's fan-favorite RÅSKOG Utility cart. Perfect for storing everything from clothes to small accessories, this handy item will have you befriending your closet again. It costs no more than $27.99, at that.

Here's the quick scoop. There are two sizes available, but this particular one slides easily into the tiniest of closets at 11 inches long and 15 inches wide. Also note that it stands 24 inches tall, in case you have a closet with low shelves. Other than that, the metal unit features three deep tiers, plus four lockable casters for added convenience. You could just pull it out whenever you need to grab something! While the white finish keeps it bright and timeless, it also comes in gray-green and beige-yellow if you prefer something bolder.

Organizing your closet is as easy as ABC with this IKEA trolley. You could group belts, hats, and purses at the top to keep daily essentials neat and at the ready. Then, use the middle section for socks and undergarments, while the bottom shelf holds a PJ set or two. Even small baby shoes can find a home here if you're using the cart in a kid's closet. And hey, you don't have to limit yourself to just the bedroom closet. Make the RÅSKOG cart work in the entryway/utility closet too, by storing cleaning products, dog leashes, and other random stuff you never know where to put. Needless to say, this little cart holds a ton.

Looking to step up your organization game even further? Line each shelf with small bins, boxes, or dividers so things stay tidy and easy to find. Another clever idea is to stick adhesive hooks on the sides to hang necklaces if you're running low on jewelry storage. Granted, there are heaps of must-have products out there to keep your closet clutter-free, but we have to give it to the RÅSKOG Utility cart for being endlessly versatile.
