Question 1

How do you organize journaling supplies in a stationery cart?

Accepted Answer

I organize my cart by “use frequency” and by category, so the things I grab constantly live on the top level. Then I group supplies into clear zones—art media, stickers/ephemera, and tools—so I’m not digging through one giant mixed drawer. The goal is to make it easy to start a page without making a mess.

Question 2

Is the IKEA RÅSKOG cart good for journaling and art supplies?

Accepted Answer

Yes—this is exactly why I picked it. I like that it’s compact but still holds a surprising amount, and the fact it rolls means I can move my whole setup wherever I’m working. It’s one of those pieces that makes my studio feel more functional instantly.

Question 3

What MUJI storage do you recommend for stationery?

Accepted Answer

I’m using the MUJI PP vanity cases (standard and shallow) because they’re simple, stackable, and they keep small items from turning into chaos. They’re especially good for stickers, ephemera, and tiny tools that otherwise disappear. I like having “contained categories” I can pull out quickly.

Question 4

What are the best IKEA boxes for organizing stationery?

Accepted Answer

In this setup I’m using the IKEA UPDATERA boxes as my go-to modular organizers. They’re great when you want flexible compartments for things like tapes, pens, adhesives, or loose bits. I like that I can reconfigure them as my supplies change.

Question 5

How do you store ephemera and stickers so they’re easy to use?

Accepted Answer

I store them in smaller containers so they stay sorted and I can flip through quickly when I’m building a spread. For me, ephemera needs to feel “browseable,” not buried. That’s why I like combining MUJI cases with smaller box sections on the cart.

Question 6

How do you store washi tape in a small space?

Accepted Answer

I keep washi tape grouped together and contained so it doesn’t roll everywhere, and I place it where I can see it at a glance. If it’s out of sight, I forget it exists—so visibility matters. A cart is perfect because you can dedicate one area just to tapes.

Question 7

Why use a rolling cart instead of drawers for stationery storage?

Accepted Answer

I love drawers, but a cart gives me mobility and a more “open” setup that feels inviting. It’s also a great way to limit what’s within arm’s reach while I’m working, so I don’t overwhelm myself with options. It’s practical, but it also makes the studio feel inspiring.
