Purchase a couple of Raskog carts to keep office and planner supplies neatly corralled.

I’m hoping to keep these plants alive during the winter.

Most children are messy creatures by nature and art supplies can find their way throughout the entire house. Keep them all together in one place on the Raskog cart and then wheel to wherever the kids will be creating their latest masterpiece.

Cleaning Supplies

Part of being an adult is being excited about your cleaning cart invention, right? 😂😂 #ikeahack with the #raskogcart! Carries everything I need to clean my whole house except the broom and vacuum! 👍👍 Might attach a paper towel holder next! #adulting #ikeahack #makeslifeeasier #proudofmyself #cleaninghack #sunday #sundaycleaning

Forget lugging around a cleaning caddy from room to room. Simply load up your Raskog cart with cleaning supplies and push it from room to room like the domestic diva you really are.

Nursing Station

Thankful for these hand-me-down pump and baby shower gifts to fill up my breastfeeding station on wheels!💖 Hoping for a generous milk supply!🤞🏻🍼 #raskogcart #breastfeedingstation

The Raskog cart is the perfect place to keep nursing, pumping or bottle feeding supplies to hand. It will make those 2 a.m. feedings much more organized and effortless.

How cute is this book cart? Books are easily viewed and accessible. The Raskog cart is also great for corralling photo albums in one place.

Bar Cart

• Gin Cart • So sorry you're all seeing my gin cart again, but the lovely @house_with_the_yellow_door @_charlottesweeting_ @little_house_in_yorkshire @cheshire_interior_design are asking to see your best post of 2017 for #mystylishspace and everyone always goes crazy for my teal Raskog! There's a gorgeous candle by @cluelesscandles to be won, so get posting!! I promise you won't see it again for a while, that's because it's gone into hiding. The temptation of all the lovely gin we have is too much whilst I'm on dry January 😫 I do love a good old knees up me, I'm a proper Cornish lush 🍻😂 Well, there was never anything else to do whilst growing up in Cornwall, apart from heading down to the beach with some Scrumpy Jack. I do think going on complete mad benders is a Cornish thing. When I get together with my school friends, we just don't do quiet. We have been known to go out for a civilised Sunday Roast, only to be told there's no meat left, so we panic order and end up with an almighty cheese board and an afternoon of wine tasting…. and getting home at 1am in the morning. On a Sunday!! 😂😂😂 Geddon! Now, can I get through this weekend without a tipple?? 🤔🤔 Have a great weekend! . . . . . #raskog #raskogcart #teal #barcart #barcartstyling #bestpost #ikea #ikeahome #myspaceanddecor #myhomeforhp #mygorgeousgaff #styleithappy #myhomevibe #ekbbhome #inspohome #interiorinspo #interiorstyling #interieur #interieurstyling #interiorideas #inspiremyinstagram #currentdesignsituation #interiorblink #finditstyleit #seekthesimplicity #pocketofmyhome #kitcheninspo #ikeahack #sassyhomestyle

For a bar cart with pizzazz load up the Raskog cart with your favorite drinks, bar glasses and napkins.

Crafting Station

It still needs one more coat, but I present this Raskog ikea hack. It fits two sewing machines, but remains stable and secure. Under the machines there is some room for cables , and of course there are the other two plateaus. Ideal for small spaces. #ikeahack #ikea #raskog #raskogcart #raskoghack #woodworking woodwork #houtbewerking #diy #ikealoversmagazine

Whether knitting is your craft of choice, or you have tons of art, sewing, or crochet supplies the Raskog cart can keep everything contained and easily accessible.

Bathroom Supplies

Coup de cœur pour le chariot #raskog de chez @ikeabelgium , pratique, discret, épuré. On l’utilise comme rangement dans la cuisine ou la salle de bain, ou pour y déposer des plantes 🌱 Il passe absolument partout 👌🏻😍

Small bathroom? Maximize bathroom storage space by storing toilet paper, extra towels, lotions etc on a Raskog cart.

The same goes for a small kitchen space. Load up the Raskog with kitchen items you need on a daily basis for easy access. The cart also makes the perfect place to store veggies and fruits that don’t need to go in the fridge, or baking supplies houses in pretty canisters.
