I find that in life, there are certain things no one gives you the memo for, and then, when you finally discover them by yourself and realise everyone else knew about them all along, you wonder why nobody thought to tell you.
This under £3 IKEA bedroom storage solution is exactly one of those things. For those who have already discovered this no-drill game-changer, you can skip on by, but for anyone yet to discover the IKEA ENUDDEN; you’re welcome.
After all, there’s a reason this bargain buy has over 1000 5-star reviews on the IKEA website, and I’m certainly not here to gatekeep. It’s been a game-changer when it comes to additional storage ideas for my small bedroom.

ENUDDEN Hanger for Door
For under £3, the ENUDDEN door hanger offers a lot of bedroom storage bang for your buck.
I know, at first glance, this no-drill door hook may not seem revolutionary, but let me tell you, for those of us who have hollow core doors rather than solid wood, plus anyone who rents and can’t add their own fixings, or for those who don’t have or don’t want to use a drill, these over-the-door wall hooks are the unsung hero of bedroom storage solutions.
I use mine to hang dressing gowns on the back of my bedroom doors, and to organise clothing I want to wear the next day, or that’s been worn but isn’t yet ready for the laundry basket.

But the ENUDDEN can be ‘any-room’ storage, of course, not just bedroom organisation, because you can fit this hanger over any door in your house.
‘I have bought 5 of these, as they are such good value for money,’ shares one 5-star reviewer on the IKEA website. ‘They fit over my doors with no issues… are very strong and can hold a good amount of weight.’

‘Bought to hang on a door of a bedroom with no wardroom,’ says another happy owner. ‘Fits the door width and works really well.’
‘Fits perfectly over door,’ agrees a third reviewer, who also praises the ‘protection pads’ on the reverse of the hook that ‘avoid scuffing the surface of your door. Would recommend.’

IKEA isn’t the only place that sells this no-drill storage solution, of course. If you can’t get into an IKEA store, then you can order online, but there are also options available at the following retailers.

This pack of three wood-effect hooks are very cute though, and similarly well priced.

Amazon has lots of options, although most that I’ve found are more expensive.

Over the Door Organiser
And of course, you don’t have to stick to hooks, this over-the-door storage solution features shelving.
However, the ENUDDEN is one of the best value options I’ve found when it comes to the combination of build quality, the amount of storage it offers, and its *very* reasonable £2.75 price tag.
As I say, if you already know about this no-drill bedroom storage hero, then this will be old news to you, but if you didn’t… then your bedroom organisation just got a *lot* easier.
After all, in my experience, it’s often the simplest solutions that make the biggest impact when it comes to keeping your home tidy and clutter-free.
Watering houseplants is pretty straightforward, right? Fill your watering can and get to work. Well, experts have revealed that you should actually be leaving your water to stand overnight before watering your plants. And this little extra step can make a big difference to your plants.
This is why ‘overnighting’ your water can be handy. By placing water in an open container overnight, you allow chlorine to dissipate, which is more suitable for sensitive plants.

What is overnighting?
While you may have worked out the best time to water your houseplant, experts also want you to take the extra step of leaving it out overnight beforehand. This allows the chlorine to dissipate from the water and allows the water to come to room temperature.

‘When you leave water in a jug or container with a wide opening at the top then this allows the chlorine – often added as a disinfectant by watering companies to ensure it’s safe for us to drink – to begin to evaporate making it more suitable for watering houseplants which can be vulnerable to chlorine building up in their soil and harming the beneficial soil microbes which are vital for their healthy growth,’ explains Lucie Bradley, garden and greenhouse expert at Easy Garden Irrigation.
‘If you leave tap water overnight in an open container (so not a bottle), then the chlorine leaves the water mainly through evaporation. Leaving it in the air for 24 to 48 hours will actually be more effective and should enable the chlorine to fully evaporate. This is why I usually keep a jug of tap water in my kitchen for a day or so before using it to water my plants. This is the simplest way to get rid of the chlorine.’
Chlorine can affect sensitive plants such as Calathea, Dracaena, Ferns, Spider Plants and Peace Lilies. Typically, it’s plants with tropical origins that are most affected, and you can tell a plant is affected by chlorine if the tips or edges of its leaves can turn brown. Leaves can also turn a yellow shade, and growth can slow down.

‘The extra benefit of leaving water to ‘overnight’ is that it becomes room temperature, which is ideal when watering houseplants, which can be wasteful of water and difficult to achieve when running your tap to water plants straight away,’ adds Lucie.

However, ‘overnighting’ is not a necessary step for all plants, nor will it make a drastic change to your plant’s health.
‘Overnighting’ water for houseplants is not usually necessary for most homes or common indoor plants. While leaving water to stand overnight can help some chlorine dissipate and allow the water to reach room temperature, most houseplants will grow perfectly well with normal tap water,’ says Amber Tunney, Plant Buyer at Cherry Lane Garden Centres.
‘It tends to only be beneficial in areas with very hard or heavily chlorinated water, or when growing particularly sensitive tropical plants such as Calatheas or ferns. For most houseplants, regular watering habits and avoiding overwatering are far more important than overnighting water.’
These watering spikes gradually release water into the soil near the roots of your plant. You plant will pull the moisture it needs, preventing overwatering.

The idea of soaking up sunshine in the garden always sounds appealing. But for some, the reality can be more stressful than soothing.
Whether you’re limited to a small garden, or have been cursed with nosy neighbours, you’ll be familiar with these feelings. But don’t worry – IKEA’s versatile new garden storage box might just be the perfect solution.
That’s right, this garden storage box from IKEA is one of the brands most innovative multifunctional pieces yet, and it’s here to take the stress out of summer with genius design features.

NÄMMARÖ Storage Box and Privacy Screen
Like it says on the tin, this product features a nifty storage box made from luxe-look acacia wood that is treated to withstand all weathers to keep your garden cushions, toys or tools stashed safely out of sight. But that’s not all, the versatile design features a chic screen which rises up from the box to totally transform the look and feel of your outside space.
Made with a slatted hardwood, the screen is enough to maximise privacy in a way that still feels soft and stylish. For small gardens, this is a game-changer, as hard edges can make the space feel too enclosed and confined. Plus, outdoor areas that lack space can benefit from vertical planting, and this free-standing screen is the perfect vessel for climbing plants and vines.
And if these clever features didn’t already have you sold, the top of the storage box doubles as a built-in seat. This extra surface is particularly handy for small gardens or balconies where space is at a premium. With all of this available at a reasonable price point of £130, it’s clear to see why this multi-purpose storage box is flying off the shelves.

It’s no secret that functional garden furniture is the key to making the most of a small space. And by now, it’s also common knowledge that no one does stylish space-saving quite like IKEA. The brand’s clever solutions for tricky outdoor spaces always hit the spot with shoppers, and this storage box is no different.

The 3-in-1 design makes this storage box suitable for all gardens, no matter the shape or size. Whether you use the screen for added privacy, or decide to zone a larger space with it, the lightweight design makes it easy to move around the garden. This sense of flexibility is not always available with other garden screening solutions on the market. And the luxe-look wood detailing makes it feel extra special.
As part of the NÄMMARÖ range, the storage box isn’t the only stylish garden item you can get your hands on. From modular garden sofas to foldable reclining chairs, the series makes it easier than ever to save space outside, without compromising on style.
While there is so much to love within the NÄMMARÖ range, the storage box is a clear fan favourite. With a host of five-star reviews to attest to its quality, the box has already sold out of most IKEA stores. It’s still available online, but I predict it will sell fast. And trust me, this is one you won’t want to miss.

If you’d like to spend the next Bank Holiday weekend in your garden, catching some sun and perhaps even dusting off your BBQ, then you need to consider where you’ll be sitting. If your current garden furniture setcan’t be rescued by a deep clean, then I’m here with good news: I’ve spotted so many bargain garden furniture sets, all at B&Q, believe it or not. I was browsing in a store the other day and truly couldn’t believe my eyes. But one style in particular caught my eye, as its green colourway brings a refined vibe to your outside space.
The Giza Green Metal 4 Seater Coffee set is a bargain at £550 for 4 pieces — one 2-seater sofa, 2 armchairs and a coffee table. And it isn’t just its design that’s made it a contender for the best garden furniture, it’s equally as practical since its cushions have removable covers for easy upkeep, plus the chairs swivel for added comfort.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, there’s also the fact that it comes wrapped in a 5-year guarantee for peace of mind.

GoodHome Giza Green Metal 4 Seater Coffee Set
A cheap price for a 4-seater set, this green set is made from powder-coated steel, with polyester cushions that feature removable covers for ease.
Not sure how to style this set? If you’ve got the space, style it all together — even better, place it surrounding a fire pit and style its table to the side of the set, so it’s still within reach.
If you haven’t got the luxury of the necessary wriggle room for the whole set, then it’s a good job that it’s flexible. Place its swivel chairs in one corner, for enjoying your morning coffee in the sunshine. Pair it with an outdoor side table if you think you’ll need it. Then, let the 2-seater sofa and coffee table take centre stage in the corner of your garden that you usually use to entertain. That’s technically 2 for 1…

As far as garden accessories go, this set would work perfectly styled with the right outdoor rug. Go for something neutral like this jute design from B&Q.
The scatter cushions in the photo aren’t included, but this might just be a good thing. Go for these green scallop edge cushions for added luxury, or choose this boucle option to inject a new texture into the scene.

While this set is new to B&Q, so it doesn’t have hundreds of reviews to back it up, it does boast a 4.9-star rating from 9 happy recent reviewers.
‘Was looking for a set for my new patio for a while, it wasn’t the style or design I was looking for, but I sat on it randomly in the shop, and it was a lot more comfy than a lot of way more expensive sets I had tried,’ says one shopper.
Not just for your garden, one reviewer wrote: ‘absolutely delighted with this sofa set. It’s being used in our sunroom but it’s ideal to take outside too. The quality is great, it comes in a huge box and was put together without any issues.’
This wooden set seats 5 and it comes with a spacious table for various drinks and snacks to sit on. It oozes comfort, while its cushions boast removable covers for easy cleaning.

If you’re short on garden space, the vertical planting trend is the key to packing as much greenery into your garden as possible. This style of gardening has always been a practical method; however, this year I’ve seen it take off as a way to turn even a tiny courtyard garden into a verdant oasis, and Aldi is making it even easier with the launch of their affordable Wooden Planter with Trellis (£22.99).
If you’re looking for your garden to follow the biggest garden trends of 2026, then vertical planting is a must. Making the most of your vertical space, this planting technique allows those of us with small gardens to fill every inch of available growing space with an abundance of flowers, fruit and veg.
The Aldi planter with built in trellis is one of the most modern styles I’ve seen with it’s rectangular slats. It’s ideal for growing climbing plants up or hooking other pots onto.

If you prefer a more natural look this 100L rectangular trough can be used to grow a gorgeous sweet pea display or a create a screen of scented jasmine to shield a seating area.
Vertical planting is not a gardening microtrend that will fall out of favour by next growing season. It’s a classic growing technique that is currently enjoying the spotlight, but one that is always a smart way to turn your courtyard garden ideas, patio or balcony into a gorgeous screened private oasis. You can add the best climbing plants, such as star jasmine or grow sweet peas up them to fill your garden with fragrance.

The Belavi Wooden Planter with Trellis is available in two colourways – a soft grey or a natural wood finish.
The planter comes with a liner included and is approximately H135 x W45 x D30cm, making it an ideal choice for smaller spaces. As well as growing your favourite climbing plants, you can also hang pots by hooking them to the trellis. I love this £12.99 mint option from Crocus, which has a built-in hook, making it easy to attach to a trellis.

Fill the pots with herbs for a vertical herb garden, or with trailing plants like strawberries or ivy for a waterfall of greenery. I’ve even seen them used next to BBQs as a storage wall to hang BBQ tools or watering cans from.
