This Versatile Accessory For The IKEA KALLAX System Makes The Most Of Your Storage

It's hard to imagine a more versatile storage unit than the IKEA KALLAX. Highly adaptable and much-loved by countless customers, this cubby storage unit is everything you could want. While the KALLAX is somewhat of a blank canvas, it comes in a variety of sizes and dimensions, offering you an incredible amount of potential for personalization. IKEA has also developed a number of accessories that go hand-in-hand with the KALLAX to help you make the most of the piece. However, if you don't love the options available from the manufacturer, there is another versatile storage accessory you can purchase from an independent company to use alongside the KALLAX.

The 12-cubby cube insert from The Steady Hand Shop is an innovative option for your larger cubby unit, turning an individual cube into an even more divided storage space. The insert is available in unfinished or white, and arrives ready to use (no assembly needed), having been crafted in the U.S. This accessory is similar to IKEA's cubby cube divider, which is designed for use with wine bottles, but has three more slots, making it ideal for organizing a plethora of smaller items that might currently be dwelling chaotically in your KALLAX cubbies. While the 12-cubby cube is pricier than IKEA's KALLAX accessory, you can purchase with confidence after reading customer feedback, which is overwhelmingly positive. Customers praise the organizer for its perfect fit and quality build.

The sky's the limit when it comes to possible uses for this accessory — so depending on your hobbies or needs, you can put it to work in many ways. Those of a crafty persuasion might find that the organizers are perfect for storing their supplies: Crocheters and knitters, for example, can easily organize their yarns according to color, material, or weight in each of the cubbies. If you're into photography, the individual cubbies can be perfect for organizing lenses. Architectural blueprints, or other documents that are commonly stored rolled up, can be securely placed in the organizers, where they will be safe from crushing or crumpling. 

If you have little ones, the cubby cube organizer can be ideal for keeping everything from toys to arts and crafts nicely put away until they're needed. To avoid individual items from falling out the backside of the organizer, it can be a good idea to purchase individual bins to house the supplies for each cubby. There's no need to break the bank, either — simply measure the area available in each space and head to Dollar Tree for storage bins to organize your home. Making the most of your furniture is no small feat, but with the correct accessories, your KALLAX can be unsurpassed in storage potential.
