Choosing a Transit Basket

A lightweight container helps gather handsets before moving through the house. The IKEA RAGGISAR set (903.480.15) includes two 19×13×18 cm baskets and one 25×25×18 cm basket made of felt polyester. The manufacturer notes the edges may be folded down to adjust height. These are intended for small items on shelves or in drawers, though exact inner dimensions are not specified.

Readers should measure their own handsets against any chosen container, as folded heights vary and not all controllers will fit. Check the fit with your own handsets before deciding how to group them. For further hallway organisation ideas, consider our guide to key tray positioning.

Placing Baskets by Doorways

A surface near a doorway is one possible position for the basket. When leaving the sitting room, drop the handset into the container rather than leaving it on a sofa cushion. You might also explore our tips on organising a sunglasses case drawer for additional entryway storage inspiration.

Separating Storage from Active Use

A transit basket differs from a working position. Keep non-charging remote storage separate from active electronics. Measure your actual remote and the inside of your chosen container before deciding whether to use one basket per room or group devices together. Always verify dimensions independently, as no single setup suits every household.
