This $4 IKEA Organizer Instantly Clears Countertop Clutter (and Looks So ’90s!)
I love the idea of cleverly concealed storage, but there isn’t a lot of opportunity for that in my small kitchen. Because cabinet space is extremely sparse, there’s a lot that needs to be stored in plain sight on my countertop, which goes from clean to cluttered in virtually no time at all. That’s where the BETTHAJ tin from IKEA shines (literally). The metallic kitchen organizer is as stylish as it is practical. And for under $5, it’s the easiest add-to-cart item — this explains why IKEA shoppers have been snatching them up in droves. Here’s why you should consider doing the same.
What Is the IKEA BETTHAJ Tin?
The 19-ounce BETTHAJ tin is the latest addition to the IKEA storage collection of the same name (the one editors were swooning over last fall). It’s delightfully compact — perfect for coffee, loose-leaf tea, spices, and more — and designed in a striking metallic silver tin plate. What’s more, the lidded containers stack neatly on top of the other BETTHAJ pieces, so they save space on your counter (and look super stylish while doing so!).
The silver BETTHAJ tins are also available in a larger, six-inch-tall size that’s perfect for dry goods like pasta, baked goods, and rice.
Why We’re Into It
Like most IKEA pieces, the BETTHAJ tin is thoughtfully designed for small-space living. It’s small and stackable, and the stylish ribbed exterior eliminates the visual clutter of attention-grabbing labels on your countertop. The opaque tin container also helps preserve the freshness of whatever you put inside (things like coffee grounds, for example, shouldn’t be exposed to direct light).
The BETTHAJ tin stands out in the best way. The silver-toned finish recalls the ‘90s-era decor trend that resurfaced last year (and clearly is still going strong). It adds a hint of shine to any surface it sits on, and I’m positive that it’ll modernize the dated contact-papered countertops of my rental.
Plus, it’s so much more than a kitchen organizer. The BETTHAJ would fit perfectly in any room in the house. Use it on your bathroom vanity to store cotton rounds or swabs, on your bedroom dresser for jewelry and accessories, or on your desktop for clips, erasers, and the like. It’s the ultimate storage hero.
You can’t deny its affordable price tag, either. IKEA is known for its expansive selection of budget-friendly storage finds, and the BETTHAJ is no different for only $4. Why not grab more than one?
