Have you been on the fence about purchasing a raskog cart from Ikea? I was too. The turquoise one spoke to me. I hmmed and hahed about it for so long that they stopped doing the turquoise cart!! Luckily, I was able to purchase one here and Iām constantly switching out what I use it for depending on the Craft Project Iām working on!

If you have a Shopify or Etsy store, using a trolley like this as a wrapping station is a genius way to keep your supplies to hand! I love how Melissa used a Cricut machine to create labels.

Using the Raskog in a cart is a great way to organize things in your kitchen. You can use it to store all of your oils or herbs and spices, that way you can cart it with you where you sit down to eat!
3 Bar Cart
The great thing about the Raskog Cart from Ikea is that theyāre perfect for any size of a room. Whether you live in a small apartment, have a galley kitchen or a huge craft room, thereās so much storage in such a compact space!
4 Baking Cart
I love how versatile these carts are! You can roll them all-around your house and fill them with anything! This is especially handy if youāre baking with the kiddos or even hosting a workshop.
5 Baking Cart from Ikea
I love how organized this cart is with uniform containers!
6 Pamās Art Cart
Pam Garrison is one of my favourite artists ever. I have taken almost all of her Creative Bug classes and Iāve loved every minute of them! The link
above shows how Pam has been organizing her art room.
7 Crafty Yarn Cart
How beautiful is this view? It makes me want to take a sharpie to my craft room wall but honestly, I think Mr Heart Handmade would lose. his. shit. If I did that! I can almost hear him āand I spent all that time painting those walls that lovely white colourā¦.ā I can hear it because Iāve heard it before!
8 Scrapbooking Storage Cart
I loved using my Raskog style cart (itās this one) at Christmas time to store all of my December Daily supplies. Well, most of them. The rest went on a tray under the coffee table, which meant that I could keep my crafty mess contained.
9 Super Organized Craft Supplies from LauraVorlicek
Oooooh. I need a few more carts. Even though I have no more space.
10 Sewing Station
Iām in love with the idea of turning the top tray upside down for your sewing machine! Thereās a large butcherās block available from Ikea that fits perfectly over the top of the cart, so you could use that and not lose all the lovely storage from that top tray.
11 Gold Sewing Station
Would you rather have a solid gold Raskog style cart or gold polka dot cart?
12 Bathroom Cart
Using the Raskog Cart from Ikea in the bathroom is a genius idea. Especially if your bathroom is on the smaller side. In fact, the only way I could really justify another cart is if I was going to use it in the En Suite. You could store towels in the top, toilet roll in the middle and toiletries at the bottom as thereās a little more clearance space.
13 Planner Supply Organization
Heaven. This is heaven. I love using my planner and I think that using the Raskog Cart from Ikea to store your planner supplies is an excellent idea!

Oh my goodnessā¦ is it just down the side of my bed or does clutter seem to accumulate there? Beauty supplies, random stuff from the drawers, ear plugs, books, headphonesā¦ you name it, it ends up there!

My bedside table is pretty shabby because I love the style but I think that using a Raskog cart is incredible if youāre a clutter bug like me.

I need to get my hands on some adhesive bookplates for my drawers! How good do they look on the Raskog cart?!

If you have kids, you know what kind of mess they can leave in their wake. Trust me, I remember being one. Using this cart to store kids toys and books is a great way to keep the bedroom or playroom tidy.

This little herb garden is fabulous! I am very, very tempted to get one of these carts and put plants in it outside on my deck.

Hi Clare, What a great post. I currently use an Ikea kitchen trolley for my sewing machine and some of my fabric stash.
Now I’ve read this post though I’m keen on these trolleys for when I move (hopefully this year), 1 to take everything I need to and from the kitchen to eat. I have a trolley from Occupational Health but it’s bulky and old lady’ish. This one I could keep my tablecloth, coasters, cutlery and glass on. Then pop my dinner on top & off š
I need two in my craft area, 1 to live there as storage, 1 so that when I’m not well enough to be up, but can still craft I have a trolley of essentials that can be moved to wherever I am.
1 just outside the back door for herbs and cut and come again salad leaves.
1 to store cleaning equipment (put a holder on side for broom) then wheel it place to place. Hang peg bag on side, basket of wet washing on top and wheel outside to hang it.
Great for my household tools, hammer, saws, drill ect.
Finally one for my cats! Make up beds in each section, then it can be moved about to give them a new view and I don’t have cat beds spread everywhere.
All spray painted to fit in with where they are being stored

Hey Lucy!
I’ve declined the ones from occupational health because I hate having things that aren’t pretty in my house :p so I’m glad I got the Raskog style cart. Last night I swapped out the contents and filled it full of art supplies!
I’ve got some containers on my shopping list to hang off the side for the next time I send the hubs to ikea!
I like the idea of spray painting and I still need to measure that space in my tiny bathroom. The cream ones are very pretty and I think I would add glitter gold polka dot vinyl that I cut on my Cricut machine.
