Hello everyone,
I am planning to build a multifunctional storage cabinet for my office myself and want to use the IKEA BESTÅ system for this. My question is: How can I best configure and optimize the BESTÅ system so that I have space not only for classic storage of file folders and office supplies but also for electronics (such as a printer and router) as well as open shelves for books and decorations?
Are there proven combinations, suitable interior fittings, or clever tips on how to connect and arrange the modules to achieve maximum functionality and storage efficiency?
I am also interested in which adjustments or additions (e.g., doors, drawers, inserts) are especially useful to make the cabinet versatile while maintaining an attractive design.
I look forward to your experiences and ideas!

Just think about it: if you set the printer on a lower module, you can hide a drawer underneath for paper or cables – clever!
This makes the workspace tidier, and the technology stays within easy reach.
Moreover, it adds some variety to the storage, and the cabinet doesn’t look boring.

It is important to coordinate the modules in width and height so that they look visually harmonious.That’s good to know; I hadn’t paid close attention to that before.
I’m thinking of experimenting with 120cm (47 inches) wide modules to create large compartments for technical equipment.
And then definitely adding 60cm (24 inches) modules for books and folders.
Thank you all for your many helpful contributions – they are really helping me with my planning!
