IKEA Has A New Storage Solution For A Clutter-Free Bedroom

Clutter in any room of the house is bad, but in the bedroom, it can be truly detrimental to your ability to rest, relax, and recharge. If you've been struggling to get bedroom clutter under control, IKEA has a new storage solution — the GRÅFJÄLLET Wall-mounted bedside table — that can keep floors clear while serving a vital purpose.

Retailing for $29.99, the GRÅFJÄLLET is a trendy alternative to traditional bedside tables. By providing you with a convenient space to place things, you can get ahead of what may otherwise turn into bedroom clutter. Its overall dimensions measure 11 ⅜ inches deep by 12 ¼ inches high by 16 ½ inches wide. It is available in white and black, and features a few clever design elements. A swing-down cabinet door helps conceal items – like medication bottles, glasses, and a bottle of lotion — that might otherwise clutter the top of a nightstand. It also has a slatted shelf underneath for holding your slippers, thereby keeping the floors uncluttered. The top surface of the table can easily fit a lamp and a glass of water.

The GRÅFJÄLLET — like other IKEA products — doesn't come with mounting hardware; depending on what type of wall you're affixing it to, you'll need either drywall anchors or wood screws. At the time of writing, 24 customers have given the GRÅFJÄLLET a 4.1-star average rating. Its highest marks go to its stylish appearance.

For those who need a little more storage in their room, the GRÅFJÄLLET provides an affordable option for a bedside table. For the sake of transparency, customer feedback is somewhat mixed. Reviews on IKEA's website simultaneously praise the item for its pleasant design while also criticizing its lack of mounting hardware and cheap construction. One customer writes, "This side table works well in a small space and looks nice from afar. However, it does feel flimsy, so I definitely wouldn't put anything heavy on it. I would have preferred to pay more and have something more sturdy."

For lightweight clutter management or storage of small items, the GRÅFJÄLLET can help. In addition to using it as a bedside table, the GRÅFJÄLLET can be used in a variety of settings around the house. The back of the concealed cabinet space is hollow, so you could easily thread charging cables through it for a docking station in the corner of your home office, effectively hiding cable clutter. If you use your garage as an entrance regularly, place the table there to place items while you're getting your shoes on. It could also make a decent entryway table, providing enough room to put your keys, phone, and mail when you walk in the door. The bottom slatted rack could even serve as a surface to place your laptop bag or purse on if you don't have convenient closet space or shelving nearby when coming and going.

In addition to having the right storage solutions, you'll have to adopt tidy practices like this organization rule to keep your bedroom clutter-free.
