Not Shelves, Not Drawers: IKEA Has A Space Saving Solution For Extra Storage

When it comes to adding storage to your house, every little bit counts; while shelves and drawers do provide reliable spaces to store your items, they require room to implement and can be pricey to acquire. Fortunately, there is an affordable and easy-to-implement space-saving solution from IKEA — the ENUDDEN Hanger for door — that provides extra storage for a variety of items.

Retailing for $8.99, the ENUDDEN is a budget-friendly way to make more room in your home; it's designed to be hung over doors. It is compatible for doors that are 1 ½ inches thick; the hanger features six pegs and measures 13 ¾ inches wide by 5 ⅛ inches high. The ENUDDEN can eliminate the need for drawers by giving you a place to hang jackets, scarves, or windbreakers. For bedrooms that are short on drawer space, robes and lightweight blouses or sundresses that don't wrinkle may also be hung from the pegs for easy access. It can also be used in a bathroom for hanging towels or bath poufs.

At the time of writing, the ENUDDEN had a 4.6-star rating from over 1,800 reviews, with customers offering high praise for the appearance, ease of installation, and product quality. Numerous customers state that they have purchased multiple hangers, thanks to their usefulness. One five-star review on IKEA's website states, "This was perfect to hang over a closet door. The best part, which I didn't expect, were the foam pads on the inside where it touches the door so there would be no damage left."

Beyond just hanging individual items from the pegs, which naturally limits the hanging capacity to what can fit on each one, individuals can pair the ENUDDEN with other hanging storage solutions from IKEA's catalogue. The MAVINN Storage basket ($4.99) is one product that could be suspended from the ENUDDEN's pegs. Once hung, the basket could be used for accessories like sunglasses or bottles of sunscreen, helping ditch entryway clutter when heading to the garage or backyard.

Another compatible option is the KUNGSFORS mesh bags ($7.99). These bags feature completely flexible bodies, meaning that they are ideal for stuffing with various household essentials like extra rolls of toilet paper on the back of a bathroom door or plastic grocery bags in the utility room. In a bedroom closet, you can pair the ENUDDEN and KUNGSFORS to hold swimsuits or extra pairs of shoes that are otherwise a hassle to store.

The ENUDDEN could also be put to use for items that might otherwise be stored in the corner of a room, such as a rolled up yoga mat that is secured with a carrying strap; you might even find that your ironing board is compatible with the hanger, keeping it available but out of the way when aren't using it. If you're in the market for more IKEA storage finds that shoppers keep coming back for, there are plenty of highly rated products under $20 to make your life easier.
