Declutter Extra Coffee Mugs From Crowded Cabinets With An Affordable IKEA Find
Jam-packed kitchen cabinets are a drag for more reasons than one. If your coffee mugs are crammed, stacked, and piled into a too-small space, you’re risking issues like being unable to easily find what you need, limiting your overall kitchen storage space, and even broken mugs from accidental tips and stacked items topling over. Avid coffee drinkers understand the too-many-mugs dilemma well, but there’s some good news! You can display up to six of your favorite mugs on IKEA’s simple, durable, and affordable mug tree.
The OSTBIT Mug Stand is made with durable bamboo, making it built to last as your coffee mugs’ convenient new home. Bamboo is highly sustainable due to its fast growth rate, making it a renewable resource. So, you can rest easy knowing you’re doing your part for Mother Earth. This mug stand is also coated with a clear acrylic lacquer, which means it’s easy to wipe clean when it gets dirty with splashes or other grime. Measuring 13 inches in height and only 6 inches in width, this stand fits neatly on the countertop or nestled in the corner of your cozy little DIY coffee bar.
The multiple uses of IKEA’s bamboo mug stand
Grab a couple of these mug stands and you’ll see that they are actually quite multifunctional. Alternative kitchen uses for this affordable IKEA find include repurposing it as a drying rack for cups or even as a sink organizer to keep hangable dish brushes and wash rags tidy. Additionally, it makes for a cute addition to a dessert table at your next party when you use it as a donut holder!
You can even use this piece in other areas of your home outside of the kitchen. For example, repurpose it as a luxe DIY jewelry stand and neatly store your necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Or, you can bring some organization to your craft room and use it to store things like scissors, rolls of tape, and balls of twine. And if you want to give this coffee mug stand a different look, you can paint the bamboo to match any space in your home. It’s an easy DIY paint project, but keep in mind that the smooth acrylic lacquer makes it difficult for paint to adhere, so you should sand and prime it first before painting. However you use it, a mug stand can help tidy your home and bring a cute and decorative feel to home organization.
