There are many more options than just blanket storage Cover them inside a basket or stack them on a shelf. And we’re not even talking about using a blanket ladder. If you’re looking for another way to store throws while putting them on display, consider wall-mounted blanket storage. You can find plenty of wall-mounted blanket holders, but they tend to be bulky, and many cost around $40. Alternatively, you can reuse a towel rack or other similar item, giving you more product options. One way to get your blankets on your wall, all nicely displayed, is with IKEA FLISAT Wall Storage.
At $19.99, this wall storage unit is an affordable pick. It is intended to serve as Children’s book collectionBecause it is essentially a very narrow shelf with a bar at the front, which holds the books facing forward. It’s made of solid pine, treated with a clear acrylic lacquer, and while IKEA sells it in four colors, because it’s solid wood, you can sand it down and refinish it to your liking. While marketed as a book or toy shelf, it also works wonderfully as a blanket storage rail. Simply mount it to the wall as directed and fold and drape the blanket over the front rail, just like you would a towel bar.

If you’ve invested in beautiful throw blankets, especially those with eye-catching patterns or high-quality wool, why hide them in the basket? This project lets you display your blankets, turn them into their own decorative form, and with so many options available, it’s a creative way to use a blanket rack to add pattern and texture to your walls. It also doesn’t take up any floor or shelf space – the bane of baskets or bins in tight homes. However, since it requires wall-mounting, this project may not be the best option for renters. If you can’t put screws into the wall, consider something else IKEA blanket finds for storage and organization. Also keep in mind that the distance between the rails and the backing on this storage shelf is very short (less than 3 1/2 inches), and its weight limit is 11 pounds, so it’s best suited for thin throw blankets rather than heavy quilts.
As is common with IKEA products, these have been repurposed by several creators on social media. Some of them, viz Northern styleFlip the rack over and use it for a baby clothes rack and storage area, but you can also apply the idea to blanket storage. In this up-down configuration, it offers a small shelf on top of the blanket rack, which you can use for decor or storage.
