The 13 IKEA Items You Need After Marie Kondo–ing Your Closet
Whether you believe in New Year's resolutions or not, it can't hurt to get your home a bit more organized for 2019. For many of us, that means tackling one major area: the closet. Overflowing shoes, random knickknacks without homes, tangled jewelry, cluttered closets—any of that sound familiar? If you've been binge-watching Tidying Up With Marie Kondo on Netflix, you definitely have the urge to do a serious home overhaul—and as you might imagine, IKEA has some solutions for your purging.
IKEA's product selection is overwhelming, to say the least, so I did the hard work for you and narrowed it down to the 13 items fashion girls could use the most. So yes, it's finally time to throw out your mismatched wire hangers, invest in sleek storage, and stock up on useful items like a mini ironing board and a stylish laundry basket. Scroll down to shop our current favorite IKEA picks. Your clothes and shoes (and Marie Kondo) will thank you.
These sleek boxes can easily slide under your bed, onto a shelf unit, or into your closet.
These solid wood hangers are chic and a total bargain at just $4 for a set of eight.
From hats and scarves to jewelry and hair accessories, these chic boxes will hold it all.
This mini ironing board folds flat and can also be hung in the tiniest of closets.
Admit it: This cute basket is much chicer than the hamper you have now.
If you don't have the luxury of a walk-in closet, this shelving unit will provide much-needed extra storage.
Next up, Zara just debuted 29 versions of this major fall trend.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
