Hello everyone,
I’m currently planning to make my IKEA Besta drawers more practical by installing custom dividers. The idea is to better organize the storage space so that smaller items don’t get scattered around. However, I don’t want to use the standard inserts available in the range but rather truly tailor-made dividers that I can adjust myself and modify if needed.
Does anyone here have experience with DIY dividers for Besta drawers? How did you implement them, which materials did you use, and above all, how do you secure the dividers firmly without damaging the drawers?
I’m grateful for any tips, including recommended tools and possibly affordable alternatives to the classic IKEA dividers. It can be something a bit more unusual or individual, as long as it’s practical and durable.
Thanks in advance!

I have found a system using self-adhesive foam rubber pads at the contact points to be very effective.Exactly! I love how you can easily create order using simple adhesive tapes and small foam rubber feet.
Some time ago, I cut divider panels from lightweight plywood and fixed them inside the drawers using small Velcro dots both on the bottom and the sides. It’s super practical because you can remove and rearrange the dividers whenever you want.
One more tip: If you’re working with wood, be sure to sand or bevel the edges to avoid splinters and to make the dividers easier to maintain.
Enjoy building – it’s really fun!
