Ikea’s done it again: This time we’re admiring a line of storage furniture that checks all the boxes: small, clean, practical, customizable, and budget priced. Designed by Eva Lilja Löwenhielm, the Mackapär Series is tailored for entryways and small spaces, and offers a number of clever solutions for wrangling shoes, coats, umbrellas, and keys. Here’s a look at the line.
Above: The Mackapär Coat Rack with Shoe Storage Unit is an all-in-one storage unit with three zones: one for coats, a second for hats and umbrellas, and two lower shelves for shoes or bags. It’s made of white powder-coated steel; $49.99 at Ikea. Above: The Mackapär Hat and Coat Rack is an abridged version of the larger coat rack with two shelves, a set of hooks, and a hanging bar; $24.99 at Ikea. Above: The Mackapär Shoe Rack is made of powder-coated steel with two perforated shelves; $16.99 each at Ikea.
Above: The shoe rack is designed for stacking (Ikea says the racks should be anchored to the wall to avoid tipping).
Above: The Mackapär Bench with Storage Compartments is a bench with sliding doors for concealing shoes and other essentials. It’s made of white-painted particleboard; $59.99 at Ikea. Above: The taller Mackapär Shoe/Storage Cabinet is made of white-painted particleboard and mounts to the wall; $60 at Ikea.
Above: The cabinets can be stacked two high for additional storage. Interior shelves can be placed flat (seen on top) or angled (seen on bottom).
Above: The Mackapär Coat Organizer mounts to the wall and is accessible from both sides. The shelves can be placed flat or angled for shoes and boots; $69.99 at Ikea. For more affordable storage and design solutions, see our posts:
