Farewell To Cabinet Clutter: Woman Shares Clever IKEA Solution To Store Coffee Mugs

Somehow, there are always too many coffee mugs to neatly fit onto the cabinet shelf. If you're struggling with coffee cup clutter in your cupboards, this amazingly clever IKEA hack for the kitchen creates a perfect cubby or mug house for your coffee cups to sit or hang. On TikTok and Instagram, @wiebkelea shared how she transformed a peg board display shelf from IKEA to neatly tuck away her coffee cups. By creating a designated spot for your coffee cups with IKEA's stylish display box, this genius hack maximizes space when storing mugs and helps you cut down on cabinet clutter.

The SKOGSMOSAIK display shelf from IKEA is priced at around $45 and features a square pine wood frame with a green peg board. There are two removable square inserts that can then be moved around to customize your shelves. In her TikTok video, @wiebkelea showed how the boxy shaped storage can be perfect for mugs, setting them inside, below, and on top of the square shelf pieces. This would be a great coffee cup storage solution for people who collect interesting mugs with fun designs, or for mugs with large or odd shapes. Even if you have a big collection of cups that won't all fit on your display shelf, using IKEA's SKOGSMOSAIK display for your prettiest mugs will easily free up valuable cabinet space and help to personalize your kitchen decoration.

Though the two removable squares in the IKEA SKOGSMOSAIK shelving provide four shelves for your mugs to sit on, there's an easy way to add even more storage for your mugs. With a few peg board hooks from the hardware store, @wiebkelea creates extra hanging storage inside the display shelf for some smaller mugs. This is a great way to ensure you're using all the space inside your IKEA display box and fitting as many mugs as possible. Move your hooks and the square shelf pieces around to see how they fit your specific coffee cups best.

Depending on the size of your kitchen and how your space is oriented, you can install your IKEA SKOGSMOSAIK differently. In her TikTok video, @wiebkelea sets her display box on the back of a small table with attached shelving above it. Alternatively, your display shelf could sit neatly on your counter against the wall to save space — or perhaps beside your coffee maker for added convenience. Otherwise, this IKEA piece is designed to be mounted on the wall, allowing you to use the empty vertical space in your kitchen and unlocking kitchen cabinet storage through hanging your coffee mugs. For people who have more mugs than they know what to do with, mounting two or three IKEA display shelves on your kitchen wall could keep your entire collection organized and out of the way.
