An IKEA Wine Holder Becomes The Perfect Towel Rack With This Hack

Regardless of whether you consider yourself a wine connoisseur, there is no question vino accessories can come in handy, and not just for storing bottles. From using a wine rack as a jewelry organizer to repurposing it as clever kitchen storage, there is no limit to the creative way you can use wine racks. While you can certainly get as crafty as you want with these units, it's turning one into towel storage that might be the most functional, and stylish, hack out there. As you're probably aware by now, IKEA is the go-to for inexpensive items that can serve double (or triple) purposes. That's why it's no surprise that the IKEA SNÖSPIRA is a viral sensation on TikTok thanks to it's ideal shape for holding hand towels. All you have to do is find a place to keep your $9.99 SNÖSPIRA, and then roll up a few towels to create practical and aesthetically pleasing storage!

The key to this hack is finding a space within your bathroom or washroom where it won't be too in the way, but it's also accessible. If you have a longer sink with plenty of countertop surface, you can simply place it in a corner nearby to the basin, then roll towels up into each wine nook. If you don't have a lot of counter space, you can hang this holder so your bathroom doesn't get cluttered.

The ideal spot would be on a wall nearby to your sink, but you could also hang the wine rack over the toilet or on another wall that's still within a reasonable reach and distance from where people wash their hands. Use a drill to secure the holder to a wall, screwing in the top portion which is already fitted with hanging screws. Once you've drilled, choose nice guest or personal hand towels to display. The SNÖSPIRA comes in black, but if you want to upgrade it, you can spray paint the unit to match your bathroom aesthetic. Gold, white, gray, or any other shade should work well since the piece is so slim, just use metal-friendly paint and let it dry thoroughly to avoid tacky or sticky residue that gets on your towels.

This clever hack can also work for your kitchen tea towels, and saves you having to hang them from the oven or install multiple hooks. Roll up your thicker tea towels and stick them in the racks, keeping the more "aesthetic" versions in this holder to elevate your kitchen. Since it can be hung, you're utilizing valuable wall and vertical space, saving countertops and surfaces for other items. Use this trick anywhere in your house you keep smaller towels and watch how much space you free up — and how it makes your rooms seem tidier and more organized.
