ikea hack: book rack

After last week’s Ikea Hack we heard from a couple of people that they needed a better option for storing books. We all nodded along vigorously because it has proven challenging to keep our books looking neat and tidy, too! They usually end up in small stacks on the ledge in front of the bookshelf waiting to be filed back away. Luckily, Nicole had already solved this riddle with another genius Ikea Hack – their Spontan magazine racks!

You can buy them in silver online, or white in stores. Or spray paint your silver ones white if you’re not near an Ikea, even! These racks are super easy to install an hold several (3 looks the cleanest, but 6-9 works too) books per. But, the best part is you can easily see the titles so your kiddo can grab the one he or she wants and then your kiddo can easily drop the book into the slot.

Have you all found a good way of organizing books? It’s definitely a good problem to have – when your kid wants to read and is messing the shelves up – but a little organization never hurt! Find your own Spontan Racks here.
