Stay Organized With an IKEA KITCHEN

I did a Rev A Shelf corner. It was the only thing I could find that would work for our odd shaped blind corner without wasting a ton of space. That was an online order and not cheap. :) Angela

Agree on the wire. Rev A Shelf and even some things I found on the shelf at Lowes were much more sturdy. Good overview, thanks. :) Angela

Thank you. I’m glad I found your channel ❤

Thank you! you saved me a trip to Ikea and now I can order more easily from the catalogue for my new kitchen.

ikea drawer solution is not good if you have a reverse osmosis water filtration system.

Would an under sink drawer work if you also have an under sink drip guard?

ALL the stuff in that corner cupboard on the lazy susan can fit into 2, or possibly 1 x 60cm wide cabinets with drawers - I got rid of that stupid, ugly, cumbersome corner cupboard when I did my new Ikea kitchen by putting 2 x 4 drawer cabinets at a right angles to each other - YES, the space in the corner was a void , but corner cupboards ALWAYS have a lot of wasted space and I can fit twice as much stuff in 2 these cabinets as I could ever fit on that horrible, ugly lazy susan sticking out of my cupboard which takes up the space of 2 cupboards anyway... to be able to open both sets of drawers all I had to do was have 2 filler pieces in the corner to allow drawers from both cabinets to be opened (I used 3.5 - 4cm wide fillers pieces), these filler pieces aren't obviously seen as they are 'recessed' and the drawers hide them. BTW my new kitchen has only drawers in it.... no more waste of space cupboards...

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Thanks!
Music in the background is too much though and distracts from your much appreciated knowledge and tutorial of awesome advice on IKEA products.
LOVE your Videos!
You have a Great eye and your Videos are so knowledgeable. Had no no idea of the spectrum of products.
Thank you!

One of the "corner solutions" I've yet to see but that would make some sense would be to use the standard 24" square space (plus maybe more) in a corner to fit in a shaft-like and potentially two-level "appliance garage" that (hydraulically?) rose from below the counter to let you use (or take out) what you need and then just send it back below and out of sight. To hide the resulting seam you could top it with a movable cutting board or basket to enhance the functionality of the corner counter. Kind-of like a 21st century "dumb waiter"...

Another nice option underneath the sink, that I am using, is a half-deep drawer. So you have a drawer that ends directly in front of the plumbing.

its my nightmare with Ik kitchen ...

Super

Why need cabinet that later on put junks in it .. no matter how beautiful I prefer pantry for simple easy to find items at one door only . I had Ikea kitchen cabinet before in my apartment but trouble looking at all my kitchen cabinet doors

Let me see, are you like any other stupid influencer and influence people to buy the plastics? Once people who influence viewers stop promoting, telling IKEA they will not promote it. It is the only way to stop a big box store like IKEA to change. All these plastics that you promote, 2 years from now you promote something else, then susceptible and easily manipulated people will toss these plastics. Plastics that will be around until the sun implodes. Eventually breaking down into micro plastics and end up in the great great grandkids lungs and blood.

"They operate SMOOTHLY".

I love my super suzan. It does have a weight limit but it is perfect for what we are using it for. I also have the upper cabinet suzan. The shelves are adjustable for my height.

Shallow pantry are it for me. Mamam (my grandma), had single shelf storage and I LOVED it. So easy. Right now I have these metal wire racks but once it's warm enough, I'll build my own shallow shelves and then Annie Sloan Chalk Paint them fun colours. For the Lazy Susan, that half-way one, I like the railing. That's useful. But like you, I'm not a fan of that corner space either. Lots to still do on my kitchen like the lowers under the sink. I like those long draw pulls and I love the drawers that come out. Excellent stuff. Not sure if I'll be home during your live stream today but if I am, I will be there for sure. If not, I'll catch the replay as I'm working on the kitchen. Cheers, Ivy.

Hey Mark, I've sent a request for contact on your website a couple of times but have not received any reply(first one was back in November). Are you taking on new clients at this time?

Thanks Mark. I always love a good ikea products video and this one did not disappoint. Also - I giggled when you said, "See, I can be reasonable." If you know, you know! 😅

Great video, very informative! Thks!

You didn’t mention the brand new Uppdatera series! This has me very excited, especially the pegboard drawer organizer. Much more flexible that the fixed drawer dividers! They also added some more utensil/silverware options for 15“ deep drawers, which is great for people like us, who have 15“ deep cabinets on the back of a peninsula.

Hey Mark, great video, as always! About those wire baskets that you are not crazy about: I think the concept is a good one, for keeping some vegetables that need to allow air to circulate around them to prevent nastiness developing, it’s just the execution here that doesn’t live up to the usual IKEA standards. Maybe that will step it up in the next iteration.

Corner susans. It's like we don't even know you anymore...

Lol on thé damp towels comment. Not to mention your almost positive comments on corner cabinet inserts. I had to sit down.

You know i love kitchen corner solutions. I have a fantastic lazy susan unit. But i also have Ikeas lazy susan unit and it is not nearly as good imo. The moving part is easy to small for the box leaving a huge gap that stuff can fall into. I did decide to use mine for oversized storage and cooking items less likely to fall off. Thx for the video:-)

Hi Mark. We finished our IKEA kitchen late 2021 and I used those corner cabinet solutions. I also used drawers/hidden drawers for most of the base cabinets. This kitchen is the best! And I have you to thank! Your previous reviews of IKEA’s products really helped in the decision to use IKEA. Good work!

On my way to ikea

Excuse me while I start taking notes. 😋 Helpful info! Thanks for the video!

Necessity the mother of invention…..most of my organization came from me needing a solution….so think people…lol…yes IKEA is great…I look for every day things and repurpose them yet with flair…makes you scratch your head and say….why didn’t I think of that😜…..don’t want it to look odd or stick out like a soar thumb yet makes you have that nostalgic feeling on the inside remembering that lil something that brings back a good memory ….now I don’t dumpster dive…hey if you do go for it…but maybe find something in the garden house, barn, or maw-♥️maws homestead and repurpose with theses thoughts…is it aesthetically appealing, is it useful, and how do I display with purpose…that’s just me. Not every one is the same…but you would be surprised at the things that are useful…keep up the good work and yes…TOP OF MY LIST ORGANIZING….and the rest will fall into place👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Blessings & Great Success to the whole Tobin Crew👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The music is a bit loud and distracting (but a good match for your tempo). I will definitely be utilizing Ikea organization in my home once it's built!

Wow so cool how Ikea has the storage trays on display on the wall! I didn't realize that! Great video Mark!! Love the music too!!

Thx 🙏💐

Ty 💐

Love these storage/organization features. Are you familiar with Form Kitchens? They are available in the US, made in Germany. They seem to have a lot of great storage solutions and am wondering if they might be higher quality than Ikea.

Always amazed at all the stuff that comes out for a more efficient kitchen!

Great video!!!🤗😁

Thanks for being our eyes Mark, our boots on the ground. It’s a three hour drive to the nearest IKEA for me now. (Used to be less than a mile.) ~Sigh~
