Struggle with cluttered cabinets? You're not the only one. In fact, it’s very easy for us to just close the door and forget about it. The trouble is that once a cabinet is packed to capacity, it can be tough to keep things tidy and organized.

I often find that organizing the cleaning products I keep stored under the sink is a chore in itself. That’s why I found this useful IKEA hack to quickly handle clutter and keep things neat. The VATTENKAR Desk organizer for $29 at IKEA is essentially a desk caddy and a portable organizer with a handle to carry around.

In addition to using it in your home office, this is small enough to fit inside a cabinet, and easily used to store cleaning products and other bits and pieces around the home. Plus, it also comes with a handy pegboard with holes and hooks to hang loose items on. Here’s why I’ll be making this IKEA item my go-to home organizer.

I love multifunctional storage, and the VATTENKAR desk organizer is exactly that. Not only does it make a practical office desk tidy, but it can instantly handle all your cabinet clutter in seconds. This is thanks to its slimline and ergonomic profile that should fit snugly into a corner of a room or inside a cabinet.

In addition, its pegboard with holes and hooks makes it more practical, and coupled with the SKÅDIS accessories (various containers and hooks), you can really customize it to your needs. I also love how versatile these things are—you can use them to sort out your pantry, keep your bathroom stuff tidy, or even organize your gardening tools.

Plus, it comes with a stylish wooden handle to easily carry around, and won’t look out of place. A great way to get rid of those messy eyesores around your home.
