Sometimes these videos are really similar-- especially the IKEA ones. Yours is so useful! I really like how many options you give and how you consider that people have different budgets. Thanks :)
So glad to hear that it was helpful for you!
I bought the picture rails a few years ago, and they were the perfect size for all my rolls of ribbons. I attached them to the wall right above my workspace, which made it handy to grab, and to remember to use them!
Great idea! Love the easy access!
I have found so many great organization supplies for my crafting in the kitchen area. Me and my crafting friends always share with each other when we found something new.
Yup! Kitchens are so similar to craft rooms in so many ways.
Garage storage for (heavy) completed scrapbooks...great idea!
My last apartment had built-in shelves which were great for my scrapbooks. I've been trying to figure out what to do with them at my new place. I'll definitely have to check this out on my next IKEA run! Thanks!
yes! Scrapbooks get SO heavy, so sturdy storage is a must.
This IKEA is in Woodbridge, Va. My favorite place to shop. I have so much IKEA in my home. My sewing table is 32 years old and still going strong. When we purchased our home in 1991, my ONE request was I had to have my own space for a sewing room. I have, over the years, been able to make it exactly to my vision. If I have a big project going, I don’t have to put everything away, I can just close the door. Happy IKEA shopping everyone.
It is certainly awesome when you can have a dedicated space for your hobbies!
I’m in San Diego and unless I’ve been blind we don’t have that brilliant garage/utility area. I’m going to go searching!
Love to have my own craft room. Next year, I am taking a section of a shipping container in my husband's work space and turning it to my craft room this is great ideas.
It looks exactly like the IKEA by me in Covina, Calif. Especially the parking and entrance area
Love IKEA for my Craftroom and have used some of what you showed but never thought to specifically look in those particular rooms for craft furniture THANKS!
You are so welcome - IKEA is a crafter's dream!
I didn’t even know that IKEA had a ‘utility’ section! I live in Europe and haven’t really been to IKEA very often but I’ve just moved into a house where I will have a dedicated craft room (finally) and was happy to come across your vid. There is an IKEA about 30 minutes away where I hope to be spending a lot more time checking out your craft room organizing ideas. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👏👏👏
Yes, I fell like the utility section is actually newer to IKEA - very durable and functional for sure!
Mine doesn’t have that section, in San Diego. :)
I have the Ivar fold down table unit (without the extra side shelved units) in my craft room and it's incredible. It holds so much and I've had no issues with weight on it at all. I use my sewing machine on it and it holds a tonne of craft supplies. And in my tiny 9x6ft room, I needed something small but highly functional and adaptable. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Lee x
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience!
I'm glad you posted, I was thinking of getting this for my sewing machine.
@@mkmoody2870 It's fantastic, I love mine. And I've had no issues with the table shaking when my machine is going full speed which is a bonus. I highly recommend the Ivar for a sewing/craft room.
Thank you for taking us on IKEA tour. I live 2+ hours from a IKEA store. Loved it
Thanks for coming along!
Love searching through IKEA. I use the magnetic metal bars over my desk and have adapted one to sit on my desk, I put my die’s straight onto them when I start/finish die cutting and also to make sure I don’t lose my little ones when tidying up. Have to go and have another mooch to see if we have new items.
That’s such a nifty idea! 👏🏼
Genius hack for your metal dies!
I love all the ideas! So inspiring for doing the most of all the nooks in the scraproom. Btw in the white and green unit with casters (kids section) you can hang things as in a pegboard!!! So more storage!
Good tip!
Thank you for sharing this organizational video Girl!
I’m still setting up my craft room space and labeling everything with sticky notes in the fronts. Using my Mama’s old furniture for now and making it work.
Love all the new IKEA organizational ideas you showed. IKEA is about 1 and half from me.
Shared this video.
🤩🤩🤩
💕💕💕
Great tips here! I really love the plate/picture racks....I have like 50 plaques from my fav sports team and also my Dad has 50 patents that were all mounted on wooden plaques....the racks make it so much easier to mount to the wall and the items can easily be rearranged!! I’m re-doing my basement after having redecorated it after severe flooding. Thank you so much for posting this! Obviously I need display items for my craft room too lol 😊 TYFS! ❤️🦋💜
Hehe, display items everywhere!!!
These were great ideas! I thought I had seen every IKEA idea but you really brought things I hadn’t thought of before. Thanks!
That is awesome - happy to help!
I agree! I thought I’d seen it all, but you brought new ideas!
What super great ideas! You opened my eyes to so many possibilities. Really appreciate your tips. Thanks!
Awesome - always happy to help!
This was a win! I love the kid’s furniture suggestion 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏.
I used kids pieces for a long time in my old craft room, and they worked really well.
I saw several items that I never thought of before and that would solve a problem at home - thanks for the inspiration! ❤
Awesome, glad that it was helpful for you!
Thank you for these ideas. I had not thought of children's storage & I loved the fold out desk in the garage section. I sure wish I had an IKEA closer to where I live.
It is nice to live close to one for sure...hey, but taking a road trip to one could be fun as well!
Keep in mind that they do deliver.
The tubs with the greens lids are amazing. They stack on top of eachother, so you can really optimize storage with them! I used them when I organized my pantry, it works great.
Tip: I love labeling my tubs so I can find my stuff quick. But I hate the fight to remove the labels. So I started to use masking tape for labels. Easy to rip of, easy to write on, and easy to remove later. And it's cheap.
Good tips! Thanks for sharing!
Great video thanks. I love the ikea wooden magazine boxes, sturdy and easy to decorate.
Yes!
The children section!!! Hadn’t considered that! Thank you this was a really good video!
Thanks so much Laurie! Glad you liked it!
Thanks, Elisa . . . LOVE your IKEA videos. Great craft storage solutions!
Aw, thanks so much Kerry!
Those picture ledges are great for storing rubber stamps mounted on wood. Some of us still have lots of those we’re not yet willing to part with. The ledges are deep enough to contain double rows of stamps, so if you put the taller stamps behind the smaller stamps, you can easily see everything on the shelf. The spice racks would also work, but I’m not sure it’s as cost-efficient a solution as the ledges.
Great tip!!!
I use the picture ledges to store my glitter bottles. I have so, so, so many but it is hard to find storage for them and still see everything I have (also helps in ensuring I stop buying duplicates). They also look nice as well. In another room, they would be great for storing spices as well. Love these shelves.
Great for small paints too
My bedroom is also my quilting, and crochet room. This video has given me some ideas for storage. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Elisa, just wanted to say I’m loving your content ma’am. This video hit the mark as I’m trying to reconfigure my craft room and the children’s section was something I’ve never considered. Tfs
Awesome! Always happy to hear this feedback! 💕
Wow! Thanks for the tour. Loved your ideas. 🫶🏼
Thanks for coming along :)
Absolutely loved all recommendations and clever creative stance on space saving. Came up with a lot of things that never occurred to me. Thank you!
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Thank you! The garage storage could really work for my basement craft area. I’m so motivated.Oh! And the metal rack will help me keep up with my tweezers for weeding.
Good luck!! Hope you get it all organized!
The Norden Gateleg table is an excellent craft table, especially when you add locking casters. Folds down to 6" or expand one or both sides and has 6 storage drawers too. Still my favorite.
Yes! I have it in my craft room and is so useful for when friends come over to craft 😁
I also have one of those tables. Fabulous.
That's awesome!
How do you add casters?
@@julibryant1662 my husband did it for me. I will reply when he gets home as to which style of casters he used.
Love this! Making over my small space home office and going to IKEA today. I can’t wait to shop the children’s section. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Have fun!
I love Ikea for their storage supplies, I liked the bathroom rolling carts for my shower because it has holes in the carts so water can drain through. I can store my shampoo and conditioners in the walk in shower. Thank you!!
Yes, those work great in showers as well!
I always enjoy the efficiency of design in IKEA . I bought a. Alex drawer on casters. Also bought some drawer organizers inserts. I love it.
That is awesome!
I am at my local IKEA at least once a month and has never seen several of these items! I will have to look again! We use Ivar shelving in wide bedroom closets. Super sturdy. One comment about magnetic tool bars though! Use them a lot and your tools become so magnetized that small metal objects like sewing pins, little grommets, hooks/eyes and jewelry findings cling to them. This would seem like an advantage until that jump ring refuses to face the right direction in your pliers or sewing pins jump onto your scissors and stop them cutting, or if you don't notice in time, you close the scissors on them and damage the blade.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing that tip.
Thank you for this video. What great stuff. You have given me such wonderful ideas. I'm currently organizing my craft room. And, what a chore!
It is certainly a chore, but I hope that you are enjoying the process as well.
I love Ivar , awesome new kitchen storage. Great video tour thank you!
You are so welcome - thanks for coming along!
Thanks for all the great ideas. I use a shelf unit from ikea, with fabric bins. Love, love this
Wonderful!
Oh thank you for sharing all the storage ideas, I am not able to get to an Ikea, but the pieces sparked lots of ideas for things I CAN do.
Walmart is knocking off a lot of IKEA pieces. Especially carts and picture ledges. Also amazon has some of these items or similar- but IKEA does ship if you’re interested in that. It’s 4 hours from me… so when I go see the family I take advantage as it’s about 30 mins from them.
Yup, there are a lot of ways to recreate similar ideas!
Thank you, Elisa! I use the metal picture ledges for my punches. I work much better when I can see my tools and supplies.
After not having use of my sewing room because my daughter was set up in there during the pandemic working from home, I finally last summer got my room back. Freshened it up with new storage trolleys on castors. Completely went thru EVERY fabric, pattern, notions…got rid of so much. And reorganized everything. Now I have the incentive to create again.
Oh I’m exactly the same!
Out of sight, out of mind 😬 😆
Yes, me too!
As much organizing stuff I have bought from ikea, I had never considered the garage section. And I am looking for something like that first thing you showed (the table and surrounding shelves) at a reasonable price forever. And I have scanned the kid’s section but they seem to have added a lot. Thinking about the idea that they have smaller drawers etc. to hold our crafting stuff is brilliant! One thing I also love in Ikea is the kitchen islands. So many configurations and price points! And they are a terrific for a work space. Thanks. This video had lots of Ikea ideas that I hadn’t seen before and I have looked at a lot.
Yes, absolutely love the kitchen islands as well! Glad the video was helpful for you!
Thank you so much for these great organization ideas! I learned a lot!
Yay! Thanks for watching!
I love this song so much. I love it even more now. Thank you for this amazing and healing song
👍🏻
Fantastic video. Gave super ideas. Can’t wait to start shopping for my new art space. Thank you,❤
You got this - have fun getting set up!
I don’t have an ikea close by, I’ve always wanted to go to the store. It was really helpful to see those areas of the store and to hear your ideas. I think I’ll actually browse the store online now that I have a better idea of things they have! Thank you!
So glad that this was helpful for yoU!
Find a friend or two or three who would do an overnight IKEA trip with you. Leave at o'dark thirty Sat morning, have breakfast on the road and get to the store just as it opens. Walk the *entire* store, every aisle, taking pictures & making notes in the catalogue you purchased as you entered the store. You're not buying anything on this Day #1... have lunch in the store --Swedish Meatballs, of course!-- and keep yourself well hydrated. Plan on leaving the store between 3:00 and 4 pm to check in to the moderately priced hotel you reserved nearby.
Between the time you check-in to the hotel, and Sun morning store opening time, you've slept, had dinner, consulted your notes and whatever notes/measurements you brought from home and made decisions on what to buy.
Go back to the store Sun morning, fill out the paperwork for what pieces you want to purchase, shanghai one or two hardy IKEA associates and let them fill your flatbed cart. I've never had anything but *sterling* service from those youngsters, especially when a $20 bill miraculously shows up at the beginning of the shopping trip. ;-)
I suggest more than one vehicle if all are buying some furniture. Flat-pack pieces are notoriously heavy, and if you try putting six tall bookcases in the back of a station wagon, you might not get out of the parking lot! 🤣
I found out recently that Ikea has a pickup location about half an hour from my house. So instead of driving all the way to the store, I order online and pick it up from there. Of course, it's not as fun as exploring the store, but it does save me a lot of time (and money too !!). Though I do like the idea of doing an overnight girl's trip as suggested by another commenter.
I ❤LOVE♥️ the Alexa drawer units! The drawers are really deep, and the kitchen spice drawer organizer is perfect for small jars of glitter, beads, etc. if the jars are clear they are easily seen by just opening the drawer.
awesome!
Don’t forget closet organizers! Lots of good ideas! Thank you😊
Yes, those are fabulous as well!
Thank you for this it gave me so many possibilities I hadn’t thought of.
Awesome! Always happy to share info that my inspire!
So many fun ideas for organizing any craft space.
💕💕💕
I know it's not a secret from 'ick-ee-uh' - but I found 3 used large white Alex units on casters at a studio closing for $25 each! I love those things. They're so EASY to roll around - and I didn't even have to assemble them! Old cardboard jewelry boxes make great divider trays in the drawers, and I also use cutlery drawer dividers. I store my 3" Distress ink pads on their sides in a money holder from an old Monopoly game at the front of one of the shallow Alex drawers. great video - tfs!
Sounds like you found a great deal!!
Wow, I’ve just found your channel and your organisation tips are great. My husband and I live in a small 1 bed flat with 2 little dogs, space is tight. You have given me so many ideas to use all over my flat to help organise and maximise storage space. 😁
Yay, I am so glad that you found this helpful!
Love all your ideas!! Thanks😊😊
You are so very welcome - I hope they are helpful!
Great ideas! Super helpful. Thanks for the tips.
You are very welcome - thanks for watching!
I had never noticed the Trofast kids' line but that may be a better choice for me than the Kallax cubes or Billy book shelves I was planning on getting (just moved, new craft space.) Thanks for such a great video!
You are so welcome! I used the kids storage in my craft room for a really long time and thought it worked well for my needs.
The partition trays can fit over a metal tray by sitting on it. The video shows it taking the slide in space of a tray, but it can double up if the metal tray isn’t over filled.
This was an excellent video, great ideas and info! Thank you!
Awesome, glad that it was helpful for you!
Lovely and so helpful. Always loved ikea
So glad it was helpful for you!
OMG, you've just given me way too many options. Now I really have to think🤦🏻♀️. Thanks for the ideas. Definitely will help me out in more ways than 1👍
Awesome, glad you found the video helpful!
Great idea to use picture holders for craft supplies!!
It's such a nice way to display your supplies and make them easy to get to!
Bella Box
Those are good ideas, but my favorite is the Alex drawers. I've got 3 of them and I never felt so organized until I got them. I love my file cabinete for my stamps. Thanks!!!
Yes, the Alex drawers work so well for a craft space!
I am awaiting this, I am in love with IKEA.. I have been for nearly 40 years.. I would love to get some of the things of yesteryear..,.. sheesh. Divided trays are so perfect. I have several divided trays that fit in my Alex drawers, kitchen and desk.. I have several sizes and the older ones too. Three different whites and navy. Age does change things. Frames are awesome as well, trays, and bits and pieces of all kinds. Our one bathroom is all IKEA. Then other is partly IKEA and other stuff. I adore the lighted mirror/ medicine cabinet, Wow! Lots of storage as well. OH the bins…. I buy all kinds of bins. I think all of my bins are from IKEA. The knife magnetic bars in several areas in our house. Superb I love the market place is my happy place. I never go in with out $500. To spare.
I love IKEA a ton too! Sounds like you do a great job of incorporating this storage into your house!
I enjoyed this video. Very helpful on the different location to shop
Always happy to help!
Learned a lot by watching the video. I have bought some of the cabinets, because you can hide many things behind the doors. They are wonderful. Now that have seen the picture ledges I will have to get a few for ribbons. Thank you.
Yes, those will work great for ribbons!
@@ScrappyWife
I definitely have & use many Ikea items in my craft room - I have the Bror work bench with drawers which is mainly for my Cricut, a Trofast unit, & 2 different Billy bookcases. New to me from your video: the bars with various canvas hanging options. I’m in 🇨🇦, so not sure if we have those but I’ll check them out soon. Thanks for sharing!
Those were new to me too, so I think they must be a newer item.
Appreciate the thought of checking in the children’s area!
Yes! So many great finds in that area!
Thx! Love your Ikea and organization ideas!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for so many great ideas. Just wish I had an IKEA close!
It is definitely a luxury to live so close to one!
Lots of good ideas here, thank you.
You are so welcome!
Im a first time viewer and love anything organization!
Awesome, so glad that you are here! I hope you subscribe!
I ordered a two tier lazy susan from QVC. It was a free shipping and handling day. I'm using it on my craft/sewing etc. table to corral supplies and decorations. Thanks for the video!!😻👍🐈
That's awesome! Sounds like you got a good deal.
I love all the great ideas you showed thank you for sharing m
You are so welcome!
Wow great research thanks!
You are very welcome!
You've made me want to visit IKEA! The closest one is still quite a distance from us, but I'm going to look into getting there. Great ideas. Thank you.
It can be a fun road trip!
Thanks for this great video!! Very practical!!
It's always nice to get a different perspective on what might work in a craft room.
@@ScrappyWife I agree!
Great ideas. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Hmmmm...can't wait to see the goodies you may have bought! One looked quite colorful in your cart on elevator ⚾️
Hehe, it was!
The other day, after moving to my retirement place, I was thinking of the video you did a few years ago that I commented on at the time. And like TH-cam is reading my damn mind again, this video just shot up in my feed. Thanks for some fresh ideas I hadn't considered before.
Aw, glad I popped back up in your feed!
Thank you for sharing. Nice ideas
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing all we're excellent ideas
Sure thing, happy to help!
I like the picture ledges. They seem like they would also be great in the kitchen for spices.
They definitely do work well for spices I would imagine.
Wonderful tour thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤ UK
Thanks for watching!
sooo many amazing ideas
So many great things to find and discover at IKEA!
Been loving on my Atlanta IKEA since it in opened in 2005. I have the furniture to prove it’s good. Definitely check out the “as is” first thing Monday morning. I love going through the store and finding items for my art room and home. I’ve found items in the kitchen , kids dept, etc. It is like a treasure hunt for sure. A bit disappointed that prices have increased post Covid.
Yes, the "as-is" section is always a great place to check out. I'm not surprised that the costs have gone up post Covid since almost all prices have gone up everywhere.
Thank you! Great ideas!
You are so welcome!
I have furnished my craft room with about 97% ikea everything!! I just moved into a smaller home and need to reconsider my space. Some of the pieces I have reused in the master closet, the laundry room, and my husband has 3 of my cabinets he is using for his tool storage in the massive garage. I am sad to say that in my planning at this moment, I have not figured out to use 2 of my tables. I am doing this slowly but with purpose. Please keep sharing your thoughts on items so your followers can think outside the box!! The kitchen is one of my favorite places to shop for items all over my home.
I love the versatility of IKEA items, and it sounds like you are experiencing that with reusing the items all around your new home. I do hope you are able to find a way to use your remaining pieces.
Such great idea!!!
Glad you think so!
my entire studio, pc for design and photography, and the other half for bag making and all kind of craft and diy stuff is 90% Ikea haha. Using almost all of the solutions you showed. Very nice video. I might have a look again at the bathroom roller shelves. Could use one or two.
That is awesome!
So many nice ideas.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you like them!
I am looking for a cabinet for my recently redone master bathroom - I forgot about IKEA - Thank you!!!!!!
IKEA is a great option!
I love the kallux units, especially for books.
Glad they work well for you!
Thank you for the walk through
You are very welcome! Thanks for coming!
The sunnersta set also works great with the raskog cart, not just hanging on the rod. Not my idea, but its been so good for my craft cart.
Good tip, thank you for sharing!
We have some lovely equipment in our quilting tools the metal one would look great on a magnetic tail on a wall.
Great idea!
Loved Ikea. Good quality.
I think so too!
Great tips , thank you
Thanks for watching Paula!
They also sell a metal pegboard that has various small shelves and baskets you can add to, wonderful wall storage 😍
Nice!
Great idea!
Thanks!
I love the ideas love ikea
I love IKEA too!
Great secrets, Elisa. I have a slim space behind the door of my craft room that I would like to utilize, so the next time I'm at IKEA, I'll be checking out those new wooden poles and slim display shelves. I hope you found some fun items for your craft room that you'll share on a future episode. =)
I use the pocket shoe organizers for behind doors. You can put so many things in them! Paint brushes, paint tubes, etc. In my last house, I had two large pantry doors in that tiny kitchen! AND, nothing fell out of them when the kids slammed the doors!
@@blondebobbi4505 Thanks for the tip! That's a fantastic idea AND I would not have to drill into the wall. Again, thank you so much!
I'm always adding IKEA goodies to my space 😉
These are great! Thank you.
❤ Shirley
Always happy to help!
Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome, Henrietta!
I have bathroom towel bars and the kitchen hanging buckets to add tools to. ❤❤
Yes, both are fabulous!
I love IKEA need to plan a trip
Love visiting IKEA - I always get so inspired by just walking around.
