Even though I can't live without my dishwasher, it's handy to have a good dish drainer for these delicate items. But since I have a compact kitchen (and a penchant for aesthetics), I've always struggled to find a suitable size that doesn't clutter up my countertop space.
That's why I was so excited when I found out about IKEA's dish drainer, which is perfect for small spaces. The IKEA HULTARP dish drainer can be placed next to the sink or mounted on the wall to free up valuable countertop space below.
Plus, it's only $17, making it a great bargain—just in time for hosting festive gatherings.
Why I love the IKEA HULTARP dish drainer

If you're looking for clever ways to double the space in a small kitchen, this dish drainer is a great trick. Firstly, its design allows it to be wall mounted, giving you extra storage space underneath. Remember that you need a sturdy wall, and this works well if you hang it directly under a cabinet.
Otherwise, its 15″ x 14″ size means it can easily fit into small spaces without looking like an eyesore. Despite its size, it still offers enough space for essentials and has a removable tray underneath to catch the water from the dish drainer.
Additionally, it features a modern steel black finish that is easy to maintain but versatile enough to make an impact in your utility room. It's hard to believe it's only $17. That's a small price to pay for purchasing additional work space.
If you like cooking with fresh herbs, IKEA has also launched a new $6 refrigerator storage accessory that helps herbs last much longer.
