Hello everyone,
I am currently planning to redesign my home office and want to optimally integrate the IKEA Besta system. My idea is for it to provide storage space for documents, technology such as printers and routers, while also serving as a space-saving and visually appealing furnishing. I am mainly looking for a solution that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, as I frequently use my workspace for video conferences.
I have the following questions:
- Which BESTA combinations or modules are particularly suitable for storing technology and files?
- Are there any recommendations for arrangement (e.g., on the wall, as a room divider, or under-desk solution)?
- Which additional elements (e.g., doors, drawers, lighting) are helpful to make my home office look professional?
- Do you have any personal tips for cable management within BESTA?
I appreciate all practical advice.
Best regards!

- Take precise measurements to fully utilize the available space.
- Combine open and closed storage elements to provide both storage capacity and visual clarity.
- Store frequently used documents or equipment behind doors, while open shelves offer quick access.
- Make sure there is sufficient ventilation for electronic devices.
- Use LED lighting under surfaces for indirect illumination of the workspace.
- For cable management, I recommend cable conduits that can be screwed to the furniture and well concealed.
This way, the home office remains functional, tidy, and professional-looking.

I think with BESTA you can get really creative. 😊
- Pro tip: Combine light-colored fronts with a dark, sturdy table to add contrast and create an elegant look.
- Use doors for a "clutter-hide mode" to keep cable messes out of your camera shots.
- For the tech setup: open compartments with subtly integrated lighting give your devices a nice showcase.
- Cables? Keep it simple: several small cable ties plus cable sleeves equal neatness with some fun involved.
Sometimes less is more – but the BESTA system gives you all the options for a smart, stylish home office.
