Organizing Your Creative Space: Tips and Tricks for a Functional Ikea Cube

Are you tired of cluttered workspaces and disorganized creative areas? Look no further! In this article, we'll explore the world of Ikea cubes and provide you with tips and tricks to keep your workspace functional and organized.

I've been using 12X12 scrapbook paper holders turned on their sides to organize my loose papers for a while now. It's amazing how much space these little cubes can free up. I use them to store random papers, such as sheet music, old book pages, vintage patterns, and more. Next to my paper holders is my spare Dylusions Dyalog Travelers Notebooks, which come in handy when working on projects.

In addition to these paper holders, I also have magazine holders made of both paper and wood. The wooden ones are a favorite of mine because they're heavy enough to stand on their own, making them easy to use and store. As a magazine collage artist, it's essential for me to keep my magazine collection organized, which is why I use these holders to store my littler paper pads from Tim Holtz and Vicki Boutin.

One of the most important things when working with Ikea cubes is finding ways to keep them organized and functional. Over the years, I've discovered a few ideas that have worked wonders for me. For instance, using walkthrough videos can help you visualize your space and make adjustments as needed. In my case, I'm glad I didn't get the entire unit in one big piece. Instead, I opted for separate cubes that I could move around to suit my needs.

Another important consideration is how you set up your cubes. In my current craft room, I've used a combination of 3X4, 2X4, and 1X4 sets to create a functional and organized space. By moving the little one with drawers around, I can easily access any area of my workspace.

In addition to these tips, there are several products that have helped me keep my cubes organized and functional. For instance, We Are Memory Keepers Stackable Paper Trays are a lifesaver when it comes to storing small papers and cards. These trays are perfect for keeping your workspace tidy and organized.

In conclusion, Ikea cubes can be an excellent way to organize your creative space. With the right tips and tricks, you can create a functional and efficient workspace that inspires creativity and productivity. Whether you're a crafty person or simply looking for ways to declutter your home, these cubes are definitely worth considering.
