5 New IKEA Storage And Organization Finds Worth Grabbing Before October Ends

With October in full swing, the holiday and entertaining season is nearly upon us. Bringing an influx of meals, gatherings, parties, potlucks, and treats, the next few months always prove to be the busiest, and arguably the most fun, of the year. The key to surviving the holiday madness? Storage and organization systems that keep your home flowing efficiently so you can focus on the important things, like connection, making memories, and, of course, your grandma's famous Christmas cookie recipe. And the time to stock up on these essentials for navigating the busy months with ease is now.

IKEA has just released a bunch of new storage and organization products that can help get your home in tip-top shape, especially if you are short on space, while you play the hostess with the mostest this holiday season. The lineup includes stylish food storage solutions, fridge organizers for the kitchen, storage boxes, and more. Here are five of our favorite new IKEA storage and organization releases to get your home ready for the busy entertaining season ahead.

So many of the fall holidays are centered around food; whether it's a family feast, community potluck, or tasty gift basket, you'll need plenty of food storage options. IKEA's new BETTHAJ line of food storage containers allow you to organize your kitchen in a way that's as stylish as it is practical. The collection includes dry food containers and smaller coffee and tea tins. The stackable BETTHAJ collection features a linear grooved texture and comes in pale blue, pale yellow, and silver. IKEA is also offering a two-pack of BETTHAJ containers, which would be perfect for gifting your favorite neighbor or teacher with a tin of homemade cookies.

From your uncle's favorite flavor of sparkling water to the brand of beer that's become a family tradition, organizing beverages for family and guests can be quite the task. Can holders can make it considerably easier to organize and restock drinks without eating up much-needed fridge space. IKEA's newly released KLIPPKAKTUS drink holder is adjustable for various can widths, features an arm that pushes the remaining cans forward when the front one is removed, and can be attached to other units. Though simple, systems like this can make fridge organization less of a losing battle. 

As the temperatures drop, the autumn months also bring a shift in seasonal clothing, where sleeveless tops, shorts, and swimwear are traded for sweaters, knit socks, and your favorite hoodie. IKEA's new PURRPINGLA storage cases can be used for storing and protecting off-season clothing from dust and dirt. The ventilation holes will also help to keep the items fresh. They can also be used stashing extra bedding and linens for overnight holiday guests, either in a closet in the large rectangular size or in the wide, flat version designed to optimize storage under the bed.

Clutter is the enemy of a well-put-together home (and a serene brain, right?). To get your space clutter-free for the holidays, the newly released GJÄTTA may be able to help. Available in two sizes, wrangle anything from extra cords and magazines to dog toys and crafting supplies in these boxes, which are stylish enough to sit out in the open instead of stashed in an already-cramped closet. The dark green velvet covering also make this a festive and sustainable way to wrap a gift. 

Sometimes, in order to help our kitchen function at max capacity, especially while entertaining, we just need our existing storage to work smarter. That can be difficult to do with non-permanent, affordable solutions. IKEA's new clip-on PÅLYCKE storage system could be a solid choice. You can simply slide it onto the underside of the shelf above to take advantage of vertical dead space above short stacks of dishes, low coffee mugs, and even under-cabinet space by your backsplash. There are several configurations of the PÅLYCKE system, such as a wine rack, basket, and hooks.
