Stop Hiding Your Blankets: IKEA Has A More Beautiful Way To Keep Them Organized
If you value all things cozy and warm, chances are you have an overflowing collection of blankets in your home. While this may mean you're more than ready to incorporate the hygge trend in your home, it might also mean you struggle with where to keep your beloved textiles stored without creating a cluttered mess. If you've been unsuccessfully shoving them into a basket or keeping them bunched up in the closet where no one can see, consider a storage solution that makes your blankets part of your decor like the FABRIKÖR. It's a stunning IKEA glass cabinet you'll want in your home to house a curated display of your snuggliest blankets for years to come.
The FABRIKÖR is beloved by customers, touting a 4.6-star average rating from over 300 reviews. At $200 per unit, it may not suit everyone's budget, but customer ratings affirm that the value is good for its price. The finish options are limited, as IKEA only offers the FABRIKÖR in a playful light yellow color or a more understated black-blue. But it boasts versatility in other regards, such as with its four glass shelves — their height can be adjusted, so you can customize the storage to your preference.
Other ways to store and display your blankets
If a cabinet full of your favorite blankets sounds like it may suit your home, you'll want to make sure it's a feature that is styled and thoughtful. Fold blankets neatly to sit on each shelf, or try rolling them up and stacking them next to each other for a different vibe. The adjustable shelves on this IKEA unit are especially helpful when you're dealing with blankets of different thicknesses — you can play around with shelf height and blanket stacking to change up the look. For an additional flourish of organization, add wicker baskets to a shelf or two. Use them to store more blankets or other essentials you may want on hand in your living room, such as an overstock of scented candles.
If the FABRIKÖR won't work in your space — whether due to size, budget, or style — there are other ways to keep blankets organized and on display. For example, one alternative is to hang them on a ladder rack. Blankets can be draped over each rung, so you don't have to fold them, and in general, the ladder will take up less of a footprint in your space than a full cabinet. IKEA sells the VILTO towel stand, which could be used just as easily for blankets, costs $70, and comes in a versatile black finish. Other options include using different styles of coat hangers to display blankets. A freestanding coat rack or wall-mounted hooks both offer the ability to display your blankets, while still remaining more affordable and space efficient than a cabinet.
