即使你被困在那里整整一个afternoon (and, let’s be honest, who hasn’t?), you might still never see every little thing the IKEA marketplace has to offer. Take, for instance, the untreated wooden magazine file the Swedish retailer likes to call KNUFF. It’s affordable and so unassuming you might miss it if you weren’t looking for it, but the KNUFF can be used for a whole host of things around the house.

Above, a pair of KNUFF files were fastened with screws to the bottom of a desktop to create rotating storage cubbies – a great alternative to basic drawers. There’s a tutorial for this project over onMi Casa.

IKEAshows us how to use the magazine files to give tablets a home inside a secretary desk or cabinet. This would work great in a kitchen or your home’s landing strip, too.

From@lempidecoon Instagram, a painted KNUFF file makes for a tiny and really affordable corner shelf or tabletop.

Finally fromApartment Apothecary, a KNUFF file mounted to the inside of a kitchen cabinet is the perfect place to store rolls of foil and plastic wrap. You could try this, too, on the inside of a closet door to hold wrapping paper and gift wrap supplies.
