The Simple IKEA Bathroom Organizer You Should Use In Your Kitchen

If you haven't visited the bathroom section of your local IKEA recently, you're missing out on a surprisingly versatile item — one that doesn't just belong in your shower, but works great in the kitchen, too. No, seriously! Plenty of IKEA finds are functional in more ways than one, often ending up in completely different rooms than they were originally intended for. Take IKEA's NISSAFORS utility cart, for example — it can double as the perfect bar cart for outdoor entertaining. Another standout item is the TISKEN basket in white, which comes with two suction cups and sells for just $7.99. This one's designed to tidy up your shower or bathtub by giving you space to store soaps, shampoos, conditioners, or even toys if you've got kids. But it also works as under-the-sink storage in the kitchen.

Equipped with drainage holes on the bottom (just in case you decide to use it in the bathroom), the TISKEN basket measures 11 inches wide and just over 6 inches in both depth and height. It fits neatly under most kitchen cabinets and holds a little over six pounds, ideal for storing everyday essentials to keep your kitchen counters clutter-free. While it's made for flat surfaces like glass, tile, or mirrors, many customers say it also sticks surprisingly well to the inside of a kitchen cabinet door. And we can thank the product's developer, Kristofer Ådsegård, for that. He opted for a synthetic rubber that, according to him and his team, adheres far better than traditional suction cups. And that's important, because if you've ever used shelves with standard suction cups, you know they tend to give out when you least expect it.

After you assemble the IKEA TISKEN basket (which just involves attaching the two suction cups to the basket), wipe down the inside of the cabinet door so it's clean and offers better adhesion. While this versatile basket can work wonders under the sink by holding things like dish soap, microfiber towels, rolls of garbage bags, and sponges, it's also great for other spots in the kitchen. Try mounting it inside an over-the-counter cabinet to store measuring spoons, small cups, digital timers, and other tiny tools — especially if drawer space is limited.

And that's not all. You can even take it a step further and turn IKEA's shower wall caddy into a spice rack, keeping your herbs and seasonings tucked neatly inside a cabinet instead of crowding up your countertops. It's a smart way to declutter your kitchen while still keeping everything within reach. And remember, you're not limited to just one IKEA TISKEN basket, either. You can actually use a few throughout your kitchen cabinets or in a walk-in pantry to hold grab-and-go items.

Since this product doesn't require any drilling or sticky adhesive, meaning no residue or holes, it's a renter-friendly storage option. If you ever need to remove it, the process is simple: Just slide a credit card (or something similar) behind the suction cup to release it, as the product developer recommends. To add even more value, the suction cups can be soaked in almost-boiling water for a few minutes to help restore them to their original shape, making the $7.99 product feel like new again.
