Hello everyone, I have the IKEA Besta system in my living room and I’m considering the best way to store books and decorative items there in a practical way. The challenge is that I want to create an aesthetically pleasing organization while also keeping frequently used books and some delicate decorations easily accessible. What experiences do you have with optimizing storage space within Besta shelving systems to accommodate both needs effectively and practically? Are there specific types of inserts, boxes, or dividers that work particularly well? I’m also open to tips on how to keep the whole setup looking elegant and tidy without appearing cluttered. Looking forward to your suggestions!

When combining different surfaces, I recommend coordinating the decoration by color and paying attention to the mix of materials. I completely agree! A little contrast and color can easily brighten up the shelf and avoid the “cafeteria look.” For example: matte Besta fronts combined with glossy glass display cabinets, along with colorful bookends or wooden figurines – like a small living room upgrade.
A quick update from me: I took your advice and started organizing my BESTA with a combination of doors with glass fronts for decoration and open shelves for books. An initial arrangement by category has already made searching easier! I’m also experimenting with small fabric boxes to store small items securely and neatly. Thanks to everyone for the many helpful tips; they’ve been a great help!
