  • Tower of Cubes: Stack two or more KALLAX units on top of each other to create a tower of storage. This configuration is perfect for maximizing vertical space in small apartments or playrooms.
  • Room Divider: Arrange KALLAX units side by side to create a room divider. This not only adds storage but also defines different areas in an open-plan space.
  • L-Shaped Configuration: Position two KALLAX units at a 90-degree angle to create an L-shape. This configuration is ideal for corner spaces and can help to make the most of awkward nooks and crannies.

Organizing Toys with the KALLAX

To make the most of your IKEA KALLAX toy organizer, consider using a combination of shelves, drawers, and boxes to keep toys tidy and easily accessible. Here are some ideas to help you organize:

  • Shelves: Use the open cubes to display toys, books, and other items. This makes it easy for kids to see and access their belongings.
  • Drawers: Add drawers to some of the cubes to hide away smaller toys, puzzles, or art supplies. This helps to keep the unit looking neat and tidy.
  • Boxes and Bins: Use boxes or bins to group similar toys together and keep them organized. This makes it easier to find what you need and maintain a clutter-free space.
