What should I get at Ikea?
Comments (55)Another place for similar drawer liner is Costco. Someone here (sorry, can't remember) recommended it and I stocked up when it was recently on sale. I have that dish drainer -- the one that hangs on the rail. I like the idea, but it didn't work for me. Small, kind of flimsy-ish. It's actually in my donation box. I went back to a drying mat. I'm probably going to try one of those roll up over the sink drainers next after the new sink gets installed....See MoreWhere to put a trash can and servo-drive trash cans
Comments (9)I love both of my servo drive (Ikea utrusta) trashcans, one beside the prep sink and the other under the clean-up sink. It was a lot of work and adjustment getting them in, and they aren't as sensitive as they probably could be - but perhaps that is for the best, as they don't open unless we want them to. My contractor didn't really think through the design logistics carefully, it was his first experience with these, and the cabinet guys had a steep learning curve. The cans are smaller than I would've preferred, but I think that is poor design/planning and not a shortcoming of the servo unit which is strong enough to push open the drawer with one recycling and one trash can....See MoreRecommended trash bins for IKEA Sektion SE BP1D?
Comments (67)I see a few more requests looking for tall bins that fit 15 wide ikea cabinets. Can you believe after all this effort, recycling pick up is no longer offered for my address! 😢 ive been using the 2 bins I bought and installed quite awhile back They are still working out great. i was going to make something similar to what a few others did but ended up finding these. Witt Industries 13R Plastic 13-Gallon Rigid Waste Liner, Square, 11" Width x 11" Depth x 20" Height, Black. got them 1/2 off on AMZ warehouse deal very thick strong commercial use plastic. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005QNOFES/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TAcHDb3D23QJK AMZ often has them as unavailable in that size, but you can find them elsewhere online mine did not have any dents/defects. Note that these are commercial grade liners to go inside a metal trash can vs a polished plastic meant to be placed out in your room. You can see pics in my Akurum ikea 15 inch base if scroll dowm the posts I have the 1st bin, raised up by about an inch to account for the slight flare at the lip and that makes them fit perfectly using all availble drawer and height space, while still allowing for my shallow drawer. I should note that I did not install the upper rod of my lower drawer that my trash cans sit in. I never got around to it and with both cans in, it actually makes that drawer and door fromt super stable - door front doesnt move and is perfectly vertical. mine are the older line, akurum, with similar but not identical specs. if needed I can measure further up the trash bins height, for the width I dont believe they flare out any, until the very top where there is a slight flare in where the lip area is, but can double check if needed....See MoreIKEA tall pantries -- sweet spot for width/depth?
Comments (48)That's a great point bbtrix - I will reexamine. The 'hallway' between the back door and basement stairs is only about 4 feet long. I had experimented with putting my step stool there, and it is possible. Also, currently I hang my broom on a hook on the wall down the basement steps. I think I'm just enamored with fancy kitchen doo hickeys (like skinny storage). But you're right, the 6 inches could be better used elsewhere - either by having 18" to the left of the stove, or instead having 30" between stove and fridge... I also need to figure out if I can actually get away with NO space to the right of the fridge (recall fridge is against a deep wall, not counter depth wall) - I think the Liebherr can do this, but it makes me nervous, hence trying to figure out a skinny useful space next to fridge. Or, I could swap the location of my fridge and range (which would put the fridge against a counter depth wall (no problem), but the stove in a corner. back to thinking (I've got time!) :)...See Morebeenzmail
