Hey everyone! It’s a new year and if you saw my Goals and Resolutions for 2018 you know getting organized and staying organized is a big one for me this year. I can organize pretty much anything and keep it looking good temporarily. The big problem seems to unfold when not everything has a true home. I can tidy a space and make it look pretty, but let’s be real, unless everything has a true resting place, it will never stay that way, which is why I came up with this IKEA mirror hack to organize my jewelry . An IKEA mirror elegantly conceals hidden jewelry storage with necklaces and earrings dangling on hooks. Shelves neatly house folded clothes and accessories, while a small stool completes the space.

Last year we completed my new closet and I must say I am LOVING it!  The best part is, I am actually staying organized because I gave everything a proper home in here. But if you know me well, you probably had one lingering question after reading my reveal post. Where did she put all of her necklaces? I showed you all of my accessory drawers but no necklaces. But guess what? They were there the whole time, hiding in plain sight.

IKEA Mirror Hack | Hidden Jewelry Storage

A neatly organized closet corner features a collection of colorful necklaces hanging on a wall-mounted rack. An Ikea mirror subtly reflects the vibrant display, while clothing hangs in a wardrobe to the left and shelves with additional items line the right.

See it’s true! And they are still completely organized. I knew when I designed my closet I was going to have to get creative with the necklace storage because I probably have too many. But when you see a clearance rack with necklaces for $1.50 each, how can you not buy all 10? I may or may not have actually done that 🙂An IKEA wall jewelry organizer elegantly displays gold and silver necklaces, bracelets, and colorful statement pieces in blue, pink, orange, and black. Complete with hooks and rods for neat hanging, it even includes a mirror to help you perfect your look.

So how did I do it? First, I bought the Nissedal mirror at Ikea.A narrow walk-in closet features white IKEA shelves filled with folded clothes, hanging garments, and black storage boxes. A sleek full-length mirror stands at the end, complemented by a small round stool on a plush white rug.

Then I picked up 3 packages of command hooks. I have to say, I have never used command hooks before, so I was a bit skeptical. But they are holding up quite well, even with my heavier necklaces.

When I chose the Nissedal mirror from IKEA, I knew I wanted to hang it on hinges so I could hide all of my necklaces behind it. What I didn’t know was it came with the hinges! I should have known when I saw the mirror on display at my local store because they hung three together like in a dressing room with the outside two on hinges. Well, it comes with those hinges! 🙂 It did not come with mounting screws though. And of course, there was not a stud where I wanted to hang it, so we used pop toggles to hold the weight.

Before hanging the mirror, I laid out a bunch of necklaces on the back to get an idea on spacing.A variety of colorful necklaces are neatly arranged on a white tray placed on a beige carpet. The necklaces, paired stylishly with an IKEA mirror, feature beads and pendants in vibrant hues like teal, pink, orange, black, and white, organized meticulously in rows.

Then we hung the mirror and I got started adding my hooks. I attached the hooks on the back of the mirror first. I would love to tell you I measured all this out, but I didn’t. I winged it. I hung the first hook and used my first two fingers to space out the next one. When I got to the second row I staggered it so the necklaces above it would not get tangled.Three white adhesive wall hooks, reminiscent of Ikea's minimalist design, are mounted on a vertical surface. Each hook displays the brand name and a downward arrow indicating proper usage. Positioned near a mirror, their sleek simplicity complements the plain, light-colored backdrop perfectly.

A mirrored finish adds a touch of sophistication to this stylish display solution.

I chose to hang all of my longer and lighter necklaces on the back of the mirror to save it from extra weight and hung all of my shorter and chunkier necklaces on the wall. I chose my spacing on the wall based on what I planned to hang.A narrow walk-in closet featuring neatly hung dresses and clothes on the left side is complemented by an IKEA shelf on the right, holding various shoes.

I don’t have too many do I? 😉 Assorted colorful necklaces with large beads hang on white hooks against a textured wall beside an elegant mirror.

  2. I love this IKEA hack!!! How well does this stay closed? I was thinking of trying this with two mirrors opening up so that it looks like a cabinet.

    1. Thank you so much Jodi! That sounds like a great idea. It honestly depends on how full you pack it. Mine is pretty full and I have thought about adding a latch but never got around to it. But it stays shut fairly well.

  4. Awesome idea! What is the depth of space between the back of the mirror and the back of mirror frame? I’m thinking of doing this for my wife with her 100+ bottle of nail polish!

    1. That is a great idea! There is only about 3/4 of an inch so it may not be enough space. But you could build a small frame on the wall out of 1x2s and then attach the mirror to the frame rather than the wall and that would probably give you enough depth but still make it hidden. Best of luck!

  5. Hi Lisa! What screws did you use to attach the mirror to the hinges? I want to mount my NISSEDAL mirror using the included hinges, but I can’t find the right screws to do so (they should really include those).
