How to Customize Kitchen Designs With IKEA Organizers

Using IKEA Base Cabinet Organizers to Increase Storage Space

When your IKEA kitchen design calls for storage and style you can have it all by including IKEA organizers.

As experts in all things IKEA, IKD knows how to make that happen, including building proper storage around your base cabinets.

In fact, there are many organizational design options available with IKEA base cabinets. It starts with IKEA’s SEKTION cabinet framework (the modular cabinet system that can utilize IKEA door fronts as well as door fronts from custom third-party manufacturers).

All of these options are the cornerstone of IKEA’s kitchen cabinetry and one of the main reasons IKEA cabinetry is known for its adaptability.

IKEA SEKTION Storage Solutions

SEKTION provides a unique drawer-in-drawer storage solution that is its signature. This feature alone provides many style and storage options (and it works equally well in design themes from modern to traditional).

Meanwhile, pullouts are another great feature of SEKTION and can work in a variety of ways (and in rooms beyond the kitchen). A pullout spice rack can be used to organize and store cleaning supplies if used in a laundry room, for example.

So yes, it’s possible to customize your storage space with IKEA organizers for base cabinets — even when space is tight.

If you’ve been looking for examples of kitchen designs and storage solutions on websites such as HOUZZ or Pinterest, then look no further.

After all, staying organized and choosing the right IKEA storage will save you time, money, and make your IKEA kitchen work as efficiently as possible — in style.

Let’s take a look!

SEKTION’s Drawer-In-Drawer Design

IKEA’s SEKTION cabinets framework is a modular system that offers a signature feature: the drawer-in-drawer design element.

Simply put, on the outside you see one drawer — and it’s built as one drawer — but there’s another drawer inside.

In 2015, when SEKTION replaced the previous system AKURUM, this new feature was a great novelty. IKEA already offered rollout drawers (in tall pantry cabinets, for example), but the drawer-in-drawer design revolutionized the concept of storage.

And when we’re talking about custom organization — especially for serious cooks – it can be used to great effect.

Overall, the drawer-in-drawer feature has made kitchen storage and organization go hand in hand. One can’t exist without the other in an IKEA kitchen.

How to Incorporate SEKTION Pullout Organizers

One of the other great features from SEKTION is pullout organizers.

Pullout accessories help you stay organized and review the contents of a cabinet quickly without a significant physical effort, keeping your kitchen efficient and safe.

They come in a wide variety of options, and as mentioned earlier, can even be incorporated in several rooms in the home.

They could come in the form of a pullout spice rack or an appliance pullout, for instance, or used as part of an IKEA hack.

For the kitchen, the Rev-A-Shelf Filler Pullout Organizer with Ball Bearing Soft-Close Sink & Base Accessories, which is available for 3” and 6” base cabinet applications, (and comes fully assembled) is a great custom option to maximize those wide fillers.

We also know that the trash pullout is something IKEA customers can’t live without.

Not only is it very convenient, but you can also customize it with the available electric push to open (for when you’re prepping food and have your hands dirty). So, all you have to do is use your knee to push it open. Voila!

Lastly, the corner pullout is another favorite. Tired of losing cooking items in the back of a corner cabinet where you having to literally crawl inside the cabinet to reach things?

The corner pullout makes it very easy to reach what’s inside.

More Ideas for IKEA Cabinet Organizers

One of the big takeaways of IKEA SEKTION is that the options truly are endless. You can customize it any way you want!

Options include the drawer-in-drawer, drawers behind doors, drawers inside pullouts, and even wire baskets inside base cabinets.

The drawer inside drawer option really maximizes your storage because in one dedicated area you can have cooking items large and small at your fingertips.

Along those lines, a concealed appliance garage is another customizable design option, especially for those pesky corners.

Lastly, by choosing IKEA’s moveable wire baskets with your full-height base cabinets, it will eliminate the worry about forgetting items you own.
