Create A Portable Indoor Garden With This Stunning IKEA Cart Hack
Who doesn't love an indoor garden? You can grow everything from beautiful flowers to fresh herbs to use when cooking, all while reducing stress and bringing out your creative side. But did you know that you can easily create an indoor garden with nothing more than IKEA's RÅSKOG utility cart? For $39.99, you can have a stunning space to showcase all your foliage, thanks to this useful hack. And since this IKEA cart has wheels and is portable, you can easily move it from room to room.
This cart is perfect for all plants, especially those that improve your indoor air quality, such as bamboo palm. Although this plant can grow to be quite large, you can still start it out on your utility cart, moving it around your home until you find the perfect blend of sun and shade to accommodate it. Just keep in mind that some plants handle a move better than others. If you have a monstera or snake plant, you'll find that they transition from one space to another better than say a fiddle leaf fig would. And if you decide you only want a few succulents, you can put your plants on the top shelf of this three-tier utility cart and use the other two shelves to store a variety of items. You can even use this cart in the bathroom if you're low on cabinet space, storing towels and other toiletries alongside your plants.
Purchase an IKEA RÅSKOG utility cart
If you're ready to create your portable indoor garden, you'll want to choose the RÅSKOG utility cart that best fits your home's aesthetic, as it comes in black, white, or yellow. It's made from steel, so if you're on the hunt for non-toxic furniture items, this makes an excellent choice. Steel doesn't off-gas any harmful toxins or chemicals, making it perfect for a green home. As shown in the TikTok video posted by @ikea_usa, you can load your RÅSKOG utility cart up with a myriad of plants. You can even store the IKEA Watering Can directly from the side of your cart, thanks to its extra-long handle.
Keep in mind that a lot of IKEA's products sell out quickly. Even if the RÅSKOG is sold out, IKEA has a variety of similar utility carts that range in price and material. For instance, the RÅSHULT is probably the closest to the RÅSKOG style-wise and can be purchased for $27.99, in either grey, white, or turquoise. So if you haven't already done so, you might want to check out IKEA when creating your perfect indoor garden on a budget.
