16 Highly-Reviewed Products To Get Your Home Organized On A $100 IKEA Budget

Collecting things is a normal part of life. For some, it means hanging on to those computer and iPhone boxes, just in case. For others, it's the piles of books, old toys, family heirlooms, or that strange collection of thimbles you pick up every time you vacation in a new city. Home organization isn't just about ensuring all that clutter has a place. It's also about reducing stress, having more energy, being able to locate what you need when you need it, and boosting productivity. If you don't have a lot of money to spend, there are plenty of budget-friendly methods to keep your home organized, and IKEA is the place with the goods. While there are a few things you can do without buying anything, having the right storage and organization materials can make a significant difference.

The following 16 items were handpicked not just for their prices (all fall under $100), but also because they are highly reviewed by actual customers. We've read through all the comments and ratings and weeded out some of the top products to help get your life in order. We will discuss our selection method in more detail at the end of the article.

The BILLY Bookcase is one of IKEA's most popular pieces of furniture. It comes in multiple sizes and colors, and it has adjustable shelves, allowing you to customize the height to fit everything from tall cereal boxes to short paperback novels. The unit's painted particleboard construction makes it easy to clean, too. 

The three-shelf Billy is relatively shallow, with a small footprint ideal if for areas with limited space. In the office, you can use it to sort files or mail or place it in the playroom with some collapsible cubes and sort loose items such as cars and building blocks. Place it in the pantry to stack cans or move it to the bathroom to stack towels and toiletries.

The Billy Bookcase has a 4.7 out of 5-star rating over 723 reviews, with 77% 5-star ratings. Several customers comment on how perfect the bookcase is for small spaces, while another remarked that the shelf is just the right size for transporting to booths at fairs. Keep in mind that because the shelf is made of particleboard, it's not designed to hold very heavy objects, and it may seem a little wobbly on uneven surfaces.

If your kitchen counters are a catchall for fruits and vegetables after a grocery haul, the CHOKLADHAJ Food Storage Box might be just what you need to reclaim your workspace. Some vegetables, like peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, and squash, should only be stored at room temperature. Even fruits like melons, pineapples, and pomegranates prefer your table over the fridge. Made from solid pine, these boxes are durable and have open sides for ventilation. They are small, so they won't take up much counter space, but they are large enough to organize those perishables. You can even use them in the pantry to hold potatoes and onions or use them to hold K-Cups at your coffee bar.

The boxes have a 4.3 out of 5-star rating. Out of 53 reviews, 58% are 5-star. One customer stated that they are an excellent replacement for a fruit bowl. Others appreciate how sturdy they are.

Playrooms and children's bedrooms are tough rooms to keep tidy, but these bins are one of the top IKEA storage solutions that help keep playrooms organized. Because the FLISAT Toy Storage Container doubles as a toy, it encourages cleanup. Large wheels are designed for easy movement, and the boxes have a rope handle, making it easy to pull them around the room while collecting toys. Use them to store everything from building blocks to crayons and art supplies. However, keep in mind that the containers are made from unfinished wood, so customers report that some of the edges may be rough to touch.

With a 4.5 out of 5-star rating across 116 reviews, these bins are a popular organizational tool. Roughly 66% of the ratings are 5-star. One customer stated the containers are big enough to hold many toys but small enough that a child can maneuver them.

Any parent will tell you: babies need a lot of stuff, from washcloths and medicine droppers to diaper ointment and pacifiers. These BARNDROM containers are soft and collapsible, which makes them ideal for keeping all those tiny items within reach and secure. They come in a set of three, numbered one to three or four to six, which is great for a growing child who's learning how to count. They are also made from recycled materials for families that are conscientious about sustainability. Tuck them on a shelf to store stacks of diapers or socks, or use them on a bathroom shelf to hold tub toys and shampoo.

These containers receive a 4.8-star average across 166 customer reviews, with 86% them being 5-star reviews. Customers agree the containers are cute, but wish that a greater variety of colors and numbers were available.

If you're thinking about ways of keeping your belongings safe in long-term storage, sturdier storage containers are a must. Whether you're packing away Christmas lights and a beloved collection of homemade Christmas ornaments, or your need to stash camping gear and fishing equipment until warmer weather returns, these SOCKERBIT boxes are practical. Made from durable partially recycled plastic, they are stackable to save space and come with a matching lid to keep fabric and crafting items dust-free. 

A popular option, these bins rank 4.7 out of 5 stars over 1,135 reviews. Around 77% are 5-star reviews. Customers say the containers seal tightly to keep pests out when storing items in the garage or basement. The sides are also opaque, so you can easily see what's stored inside. The biggest complaint is the lack of colors for those who prefer to color-code their storage, and some customers complain that the price per bin has doubled over the past few years.

The RASKOG Trolley is one of the most versatile IKEA storage solutions because it features lockable casters, so you can move it from one room to another as needed. It has three tiers with enough space to store crafts, bar items, diapers, makeup, or office supplies, and you can pop on a lid and use it to hold snacks or your morning coffee. It comes in multiple colors, allowing you to match it to your home décor, and it's small enough to fit in tight spaces.

The cart scores 4.7 out of 5 stars from 111 reviews, and 76% are 5-star. Customers love the colors and appreciate that the cart makes excellent vertical storage. There are also many comments on how sturdy it is. However, some say the lid doesn't fit properly, while others say the wheels squeak loudly when rolling.

Organization can be challenging when you're limited on floor space, but it helps to stack items on top of each other. The JONAXEL Storage Combination has a lightweight metal frame that holds sliding wire mesh baskets. Because the baskets are mesh, clothes and linens can breathe, preventing the musty closet smells that can build up when stored in plastic bins or wooden dressers. The frame is powder-coated steel, which resists rusting, and levelers on the bottom of the frame keep the cabinet flat on carpet and uneven surfaces.

The JONAXEL Cabinet scores 4.4 out of 5 stars over 203 reviews, and 67% are 5-star. The cart is easy to assemble and very sturdy. It's also been compared to containers from other stores at a fraction of the price. Some customers say the cart is prone to squeaking when it's moved, and some have even reported missing parts.

Most people own between six and 12 pairs of shoes, and if you have three or four people in your home, that's potentially 18 to 24 pairs of shoes cluttering up closets and your front entryway. The BISSA Shoe Cabinet stores shoes out of sight and off the floor. It features two adjustable compartments, so it can also be used to hold towels and other items. It also has a cut-out in the back, allowing you to place it flush with the wall to save space. Not only that, but it's made of engineered wood with a paper foil finish.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 stars over 512 reviews, the cabinet has 366 5-star ratings. One customer loves that the cart is ideal for small spaces but holds a lot. It's worth mentioning that one person stated the cabinet was difficult to assemble, while others reported the pieces being damaged upon arrival.

Nearly every home has at least one junk drawer somewhere in the house. You know the one — that dreaded spot in the kitchen that holds everything from old keys and Band-Aids to pens and pencils and ChapStick. However, you can say goodbye to messy drawers once and for all with the VISSLAAN box organizer. This insert features multiple compartments for storing smaller items, and can be reconfigured for a more custom use. Be sure to measure your drawer before purchasing because the fit isn't universal.

The organizer rates 4.6 out of 5 stars across 67 reviews, 76% of which are 5-star. Customers say the compartments make it easy to find what you need without sifting through drawers. However, some users report that it's slightly difficult to move the inserts around, so customization seems to be a little less convenient than the product initially promises.

If you're looking for a functional yet stylish piece of furniture for your living room, office, or bedroom, this HOLMERUD Side Table is durable and open on all sides, making items easily accessible. With multiple shelves, the cabinet can organize many items, such as your gaming system or surround sound under your TV. It can even house photo albums, books, or keepsakes, making it a better option over a piece of furniture with a single, large open shelf that's harder to keep items separated.

The side table has a 4.7 out of 5-star rating across 336 reviews. Approximately 83% are 5-star. One customer commented that the shelf makes a beautiful and affordable addition to any room, while others complain that the unit is much smaller than expected. It's important to note that one side of the cabinet is used for support, so it can't be used for storage.

Have you ever wondered how to use baskets in your home for stylish storage? They are among the most versatile storage containers for any room. The RANEN Basket is made from durable plastic and has two handles for easy transport. The sides are vented, so it can be used in the bathroom or kitchen without worrying about damage from moisture. It's also small, so it won't take up too much room on your counter or on a shelving unit. Use the basket to hold toiletries or rolled washcloths and display them in the guest bath. In the kitchen, use it for sauce packets or K-Cups, or place it in a sewing room to hold fabric scraps, thread, and yarn.

This basket has a 4.9 out of 5-star rating over 157 reviews, and 92% are 5-star. One customer claims the baskets are lightweight and sturdy and ideal for use as a bathroom caddy for college, while others say they're perfect for the price. The only drawback is that the basket is small, measuring 10 inches in length and 7 inches in width, so it can't hold larger items.

The inside of your home isn't the only place where you need to focus on organization. Garages and basements are often overlooked but are often the spaces that need it most. These spaces require durable and sturdy shelving units to hold holiday supplies and heavier items, like tools and lawn equipment. The OMAR Shelving Unit provides plenty of room and features levelers on the bottom legs for use on uneven surfaces. Indoors, you can use the shelves in pantries to hold canned goods, boxes, sodas, and appliances. The shelf even works well in bathrooms and kitchens without fear of rust and corrosion.

The shelving unit is rated 4.6 out of 5 stars across 680 reviews, with 76% 5-star ratings. One customer appreciates the fact that the shelving unit comes in multiple sizes and can be combined with other units to create a full wall of storage. One customer commented that the shelves are often still wobbly and unstable after multiple adjustments, so you may need to anchor them to prevent tipping. Another customer said assembly is difficult.

It's no secret that a good Lazy Susan is a kitchen's best friend, and the KLIPPKAKTUS Lazy Susan is no different. Made from durable plastic, the product is easy to keep clean with regular dish detergent and water. It has a raised edge, so bottles and other items won't fall off when it turns. You can use it to hold shampoos and lotions in the bathroom, or place it in the center of your kitchen table to store condiments. You could even place it inside your refrigerator, to make it easier to reach things at the back of a shelf.

The Lazy Susan is rated 4.7 out of 5 stars across 343 reviews. Over 83% are 5-star reviews. Customers like displaying several of the Lazy Susans in the pantry for organization. Others say it makes it easy to reach items on shelves without having to get a step stool to reach items in the back. One individual complained that the product didn't come complete, so they had to return it. Overall, it's a good organizational pick.

In the kitchen, you need plenty of room for preparing weeknight dinners and entertaining family and friends. When space is limited, the NALBLECKA Kitchen Shelving Unit allows you to stack items to take advantage of vertical storage. The shelves are bamboo for a classic look and have a raised edge to prevent bottles, plants, glasses, and other necessities from sliding off. With a narrow footprint, the unit fits various spaces. Place the shelf in your bathroom to hold makeup and other toiletries, or store the unit on a bookcase in your living room to house succulents and other small plants.

The shelf is rated 4.8 out of 5 stars across 290 reviews, with 254 5-star reviews. One customer said the shelf is perfect in a window to hold plants, while another says the unit makes an excellent countertop organizational item. Some reviews report quality issues, such as warped wood and misplaced screw holes.

One of the biggest benefits of an organized home office is increased efficiency. Not only will you save time by knowing where everything is, but you'll also have more space to complete tasks without distraction. The ALEX Drawer Unit features five different-sized drawers with cut-outs along the edge for easy access. The back of the unit is finished, so you can place it in the center of your room or back it up against a wall or in a closet. It comes in multiple colors to match your décor, and it can be combined with other Alex pieces for a cohesive look.

This cabinet has a 4.5 out of 5-star rating with 3,078 reviews. Out of those reviews, 2,216 are 5-star. One customer said they would definitely buy the product again, while another said it's a solid piece of furniture for the money. One common complaint is that the unit is difficult to assemble.

Trays are multifunctional items that can store a wide variety of items, and the TROFAST Mesh Tray is an upgrade from cheaper plastic options. It has raised edges for holding everything from bottles of perfume in the bathroom to spices and cleaning supplies in the kitchen. The mesh design makes them ideal for damp spaces to create airflow and increase visibility, and the green color matches multiple decors. In some cases, you can even use the trays inside a desk or dresser drawer to hold everything from paper to socks. 

The tray has a 4.8 out of 5-star rating over 314 reviews. Around 271 of the reviews are 5-star. Customers love the colors and the mesh sides, while others appreciate the value for the money. One complaint is that the wire bends easily, so you have to be careful when storing heavier items.
