The IKEA Kitchen Find That'll Organize Handbags And Minimize Closet Clutter

Whether you own a walk-in wardrobe or a small reach-in, dealing with clutter is an ongoing dilemma, especially when it comes to items that don't really fit onto dedicated shelves or racks. While closets are optimized for storing clothes, finding stylish closet organizers for daily essentials like purses and bags can be a lot trickier. Fortunately, an IKEA VARIERA pot lid organizer steps up as a convenient solution to your handbag storage woes.

This IKEA kitchen must-have that's typically used to organize cluttered cabinet shelves is versatile enough to properly store small handbags together in any closet. If you have the space to accommodate several VAREIRA organizers, purchase and use multiple ones to arrange small handbags by category (daily use versus evening handbags, casual versus dressier options) to create a clutter-free zone in your closet. As opposed to storing them in boxes or cubbies, having them laid out in an open yet organized display allows you to take stock of your handbag collection with just a single glance.

The VAREIRA organizer allows you to slot your handbags between the pegs in upright positions. When it comes to leather bags, keeping them upright ensures that they don't lose their shape or get scratched, a risk that happens when leather and bag hardware get stacked on top of one another. VAREIRA's accordion-style design allows it to stretch from the front to the back of a drawer or cabinet, creating rows of neatly-spaced allocations for your bags. 

Ultimately, the VAREIRA is a great tool when organizing a small closet, as its form can be adjusted to hold other smaller items that tend to clutter up your space as well. Use them to keep wallets lined up in neat rows. They're also great way to store belts, as long as you remember to roll fabric belts in a loose manner to keep their shapes intact. On the other hand, it's best to hang leather belts to preserve their shape and material. If you have numerous summer sandals, flats, or slippers that are taking up precious floor space, arrange them on a VAREIRA which you can lay on your closet floor or on a shelf.
