8 IKEA Products That Will Revolutionize The Way You Organize Your Dresser

IKEA is a godsend for so many home organization needs. From baskets to boxes and shelving, you can tidy up any space in your home without breaking the bank — and with style to boot. The bedroom is one area that tends to accumulate clutter, making it hard to keep clothes, shoes, accessories, and extra bedding and linens organized. And there's nothing worse than spending precious time digging through closets and dresser drawers to find something you need.

While lots of different storage zones in your boudoir can benefit from IKEA's best products to help you organize the bedroom, today we want to tackle the good old dresser. IKEA doesn't disappoint, offering various organizers and storage containers that fit in dresser drawers and make it easy to locate specific items, in turn allowing you to avoid the biggest mistake you can make when organizing drawers: not having a system to keep everything in separate spaces.

The options we provide here are designed to help you determine which organizers are best for the contents of your dresser, ranging from budget-friendly choices to storage systems ideal for specific types of clothing and accessories. Regardless of the organizer that fits your needs, rest assured that each option boasts at least a 4-star rating on IKEA's website and plenty of 5-star reviews that will convince you of each item's quality and functionality. At the end of this article, you can learn more about the methodology used to gather the organizers recommended in the below list.

Not only is IKEA known for selling a wide range of home essentials, but they also come at low prices. For anyone looking for a simple yet functional drawer organizer that costs less than you think, and will barely make a dent in your bank account balance, consider these SKUBB boxes. They come in two colors (white and gray) to best fit your preferences, and they ring in at a measly $7 for a pack of six. These easy-to-clean, best-selling drawer organizers include three sizes, perfect for mixing and matching in different drawers. The larger boxes are 5 by 11 by 11 inches, the medium-sized boxes measure 5 by 11 by 5 ½ inches, and the smallest size comes in at 5 by 5 ½ by 5 ½ inches. Consider storing socks, belts, head scarves, and hats in the smallest size, undergarments in the medium size, and t-shirts in the larger size.

As one of IKEA's most popular organizer sets, it's no surprise that it has garnered a 4.8-star rating out of over 3,500 total reviews. What's more, 5-star reviews make up 82% of this rating. Reading through the reviews, you can clearly see how pleased customers are with this purchase. One reviewer writes, "These little organizers are perfect for tidying up your drawers and making twice as much room in them."

If you're like us, the top drawer of your dresser likely serves as a catchall for smaller items, including watches, jewelry, belts, and hair accessories. Enter the VISSLAÅN set of five boxes, designed with practicality in mind. They even include lids to ensure items stay protected and completely contained. These boxes are transparent, making it easy to see what's inside. Just like with the above option, you benefit from three different-sized boxes (one box measuring 8 by 8 by 3½ inches, one measuring 8 by 4 by 3½ inches, and three boxes measuring 4 by 4 by 3½ inches) that can be configured in whichever way works best in your drawers. You can pick up a set for $9.99.

With a rating of 4.8 stars out of 68 reviews, it's clear that this organizer set is popular among customers. The 5-star ratings account for 89% of all reviews. Customers particularly like the quality-to-cost ratio of the product, as well as the lids for added containment. One happy reviewer writes, "I am using these in several of my drawers and just love them. They have made finding everything so much easier."

If you own a dresser with larger and deeper lower drawers — such as IKEA's popular VIHALS dresser with a bottom drawer boasting 9 ½ inches in height, or the best-selling HEMNES eight-drawer dresser with a lower drawer coming in at 7 ⅞ inches in height — you will have space for the SKUBB storage case. This roomy, soft-walled box comes in three different measurements to accommodate a variety of drawer sizes; however, it's important to note that the largest size likely won't fit in most standard dresser drawers. For this reason, it's essential that you measure your drawers before purchasing. That being said, the 17 by 20 ¾ by 7 ½-inch case costs $7.99; the 25 ½ by 20 ¾ by 7 ½-inch option costs $8.99; and the largest 35 ½ by 20 ¾ by 7 ½-inch size rings in at $9.99. These cases are perfect for organizing bed sheets, blankets, clothes, and linens that you don't need on a regular basis. They zip to protect the contents from dust, while also boasting a mesh ventilation patch in the corners for added airflow. 

This is another 4.8-star product, averaging out of 389 total reviews. Of these reviews, 86% are 5 stars. Many customers took to the IKEA website to praise these cases, with one explaining, "I have several of these. They each hold three duvet covers and their accompanying pillowcases. They are very well made, they keep their shape, and I like that they have small mesh corners to allow breathability." Could it get any better than this?

Mixing a bunch of off-season with current-season clothes in the same drawer is a pain when it comes to choosing an outfit for the day. If storing off-season clothes elsewhere in your home is not ideal, or simply not an option, it's helpful to keep them in one easy place in your dresser. This IKEA organization product is another way to tackle cluttered drawers: the PÄRKLA storage case, featuring a zipper to contain all those bulky winter sweaters. At an affordable $1.99 per case, you can purchase more than one if you have room in your dresser. And though not completely transparent, the material allows for some visibility, meaning you can spot which case holds which type of clothing if you do purchase more than one. This storage solution measures 21 ¾ by 19 ¼ by 7 ½ inches. Similar to the above option, you'll want to measure your deepest dresser drawer to ensure it fits height-wise before purchasing. If all is good to go, you'll appreciate the heavy-duty, yet lightweight and compact, construction and the wide opening to easily slide in items.

This organization product is another fan-favorite among IKEA customers, totaling 4.7 stars out of nearly 4,500 reviews, with 82% of them being 5 stars. Some reviewers had the same idea as us to utilize these storage cases for clothes not currently in rotation. One wrote, "Good and spacious, this is perfect for unused clothes. The price is excellent!"

If there are any items that can easily overwhelm a dresser drawer, it's socks and underwear. And since they're usually stored in the same drawer, they are notorious for getting jumbled together. It's a good thing IKEA sells this two-pack of KOMPLEMENT boxes, and you can use one for socks and one for underwear. This product features a unique gray felt material that is a nice change from some of the other plastic and polyester-based storage systems that IKEA sells. The soft felt protects more delicate items, such as lingerie and bras, while the sturdy sides allow you to line up folded articles of clothing without collapsing. You can purchase these boxes in two different sizes, depending on the space in your dresser and your budget. The smaller size costs $7.99 and measures 6 by 10 ½ by 4 ¾ inches, while the larger size costs $9.99 and measures 9 ¾ by 10 ½ by 4 ¾ inches. Just one note: If you're someone who swears by rolling rather than folding socks into each other (here's why socks shouldn't be bundled), and like to stow them Mary Kondo style, then the medium-sized SKUB box mentioned earlier might be a better pick. 

While this product has a 4.5-star average rating out of 235 reviews, it must be noted that only 67% are 5-star ratings. There are a couple reasons for this, including the higher price and the fact that they can come apart when stuffed too full, according to some reviewers. However, if the price doesn't bother you and you can avoid over-stuffing the boxes, you can join the ranks of happier customers, including this one that wrote, "They work perfectly to put the smaller things in to tidy up the dresser."

Now that we've covered socks, underwear, and other smaller garments and accessories, it's time to organize those shirts, pants, and pajamas. The STUK box with two compartments is a budget-friendly option, meaning you can buy more than one for no wasted space in your drawers, without shelling out too much money. Similar to other storage products, you can purchase more than one size, depending on the size of your drawers and the type of clothing you put in it. The smallest option is 7 ¾ by 13 ½ by 4 inches and will only set you back $4.99; the middle size is 13 ½ by 20 by 4 inches, costing $7.99; and, finally, the roomiest option measures 13 ½ by 20 by 7 inches, and still comes in just under $10. All three sizes are neutral white in color and contain a label holder for easy identification of their contents.

Now, for the reviews. Customers gave this organizer 4.6 stars out of a total of 965 reviews, with 73% marking it as a 5-star product. Many praised the simplicity, ease, quality-to-cost ratio, and functionality of the STUK box. One penned, "We love these. Now every item of clothing has a place ."

While budget-friendly and simple storage items are perfectly suitable for your dresser organization needs, you may be interested in something a bit more stylish if you have a little extra cash to spend, or if you like opening your drawers and seeing a more decorative option. IKEA's BLÄDDRARE box with lid is perfect in this case. The pretty, patterned box is gray with small white accents and features an imitation leather handle on the front. As a bonus, the lid folds open halfway, so you don't have to remove it entirely when accessing the box's contents. Once again, you can choose from three sizes; although, the largest size likely won't be suitable for a dresser drawer, even if it's deeper. Consider purchasing the smaller 9 ¾ by 13 ¾ by 6 inches ($9.99) option or the slightly larger 13 ¾ by 19 ¾ by 6 inches ($15.99) option. Given the versatility of this box, you can consider storing a wide range of clothing garments and accessories. Reviewers report stowing sweaters, leggings, lingerie, socks, and handbags, among other items, and enjoy the higher quality of the box over other options.

You can tell that customers are pleased with their purchase by the 4.7 overall rating out of 306 reviews. Of these, 78% are 5 stars. One person left a review saying, "This product worked really well. So easy to assemble, the half lift on the lid makes it easy to access without having to remove from a shelf. Neutral colours so it's not intrusive and it looks pretty."

Adults aren't the only ones who benefit from better organization in their dressers; children can also end up with plenty of clutter in their dresser drawers. The bonus of implementing an organizational system is that children can learn to find their own clothes without frustration when it comes time to change or dress. These BARNDRÖM boxes are not only great for organizing pretty much anything that gets stored in dresser drawers, but they are fun and child-friendly, featuring three different colors and the numbers "1" through "6" printed on the ends. Who wouldn't want their young children to learn their numbers while getting dressed? Two birds with one stone anyone? Furthermore, the boxes are lightweight, allowing small hands to pull them out of the drawers and put them back themselves. These boxes measure 6 ¾ by 10 ¾ by 6 ¾ inches, making them suitable for slightly deeper middle or lower dresser drawers, and retail for $14.99.

Parents and caregivers rave about this storage option for their children, giving the item 4.8 stars out of 92 reviews, with 84% being 5 stars. One person says, "These boxes are just the right size for infant and toddler little bits. Easy to find things and to stay organized." While the numbers are also a huge selling point, you should note that it will be necessary to purchase two sets of three boxes to be able to display all six numbers lined up, as each box features a different number on each side.

To bring you the best IKEA products for organizing dresser drawers, we looked closely at customer satisfaction, considering two main factors: the number of stars for each item (4 stars minimum) and the number of positive user reviews (the majority had to be 5 stars). We also wanted to provide readers with a variety of products to choose from that could serve various needs, budgets, tastes, and available storage space within their dresser drawers. In addition to these considerations, we made sure to analyze the customer reviews for each organization solution to note any major pluses, as well as drawbacks.
