Not Baskets: IKEA Has A Tidy Solution For Storing Blankets In A Closet

Blankets always fight for space in the closet. But since they tend to be bulky, it's challenging to find an area where you can fold and store them neatly without getting in the way of other items. While baskets may seem to be the perfect solution to this problem, such containers can also eat up a lot of shelf and floor space, leaving your wardrobe feeling more crammed than it already is. A more practical way to address this issue is to consider unique blanket storage ideas that can keep your living space organized in style. For instance, consider IKEA's tidy solution for storing blankets in the closet: the JONAXEL storage combination.

The JONAXEL is a two-part storage solution composed of a steel frame and mesh baskets. It's basically a movable drawer with a pull-out mechanism for easy access to stored items. For safety and to prevent any accidents, the frame can be anchored to the wall. It retails for $49.99 and measures 27.5 inches in length and 19.625 inches in width. The product also comes with four baskets, each measuring 5.5 inches in depth and 18 inches in width. When assembled, the unit is large enough to keep folded blankets but also small enough to tuck into one side of the bottom closet.

IKEA is known to offer some of the best products for an impressively organized closet, and the JONAXEL storage combination is no different. It's practically an IKEA find that makes storing blankets stylish. It offers a simple yet chic container for folded blankets for both short-term and long-term storage. The mesh baskets have a clean, streamlined look that allows visibility of contents, so you won't have a hard time locating the blankets you need for specific occasions. The mesh design makes the drawers breathable, so you don't have to worry about moisture buildup. It's also worth noting that the baskets are lined with an epoxy and polyester powder coating, so they are easy to clean with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner.

Based on customer feedback, the JONAXEL appears to be a good investment for storing blankets and other items. As of writing, the product has a 4.4-star rating from 217 reviews; 144 of which gave the storage solution 5 stars. Many customers rated it high in terms of appearance, product quality, and value for money. One glowing review says: "These are perfect storage for the bottom of the linen or utility closets. The drawers pull out so easily that you can see everything that is stashed away. Easy to put together."
