8 Underrated IKEA Items You Should Stop Overlooking, According To TikTok Design

IKEA has seemingly endless options when it comes to storage. Different ranges, like the KALLAX and PAX offer affordable, customizable storage. But on IkeaTok, creators can’t stop talking about the BESTA cabinets. Interior designer Carmen Javier, @carmenjavierco on TikTok, raves, “Either mount it to the wall, I have it on the floor, there’s so many configurations…and as you grow and move into a larger space, you can add on additional cabinet modules. That’s what I did, and it’s lasted with me almost eight years now.” 

With a 4.6-star average rating on IKEA’s website, it’s clear that other customers have picked up on Besta’s versatility. Plus, it’s a closed storage system, which makes it excellent for tucking away items you may not want out in the open. With a minimal design, different sizes, and varied combinations you can create the look or configuration your space requires. 

You can mount three units to the wall side-by-side to create dramatic yet budget-friendly floating storage for a sideboard or media console. For the reading nook of your dreams, nestle one under a window and add a comfy seat. The various finishes offer neutral looks that can be styled to play well in most spaces. However, if you have it in your budget, you might consider customizing yours. Third parties like Fronteriers, offer designer-caliber doors and panels to fit the units.
