Drawer Liners - Good or old fashioned and useless?

[Hippopotas]

Can’t decide if I should get them and thought I would canvas opinions.

Oh now I’m wondering if I need them. And if so how often do you change them?

Good! And cosy and a good excuse to organise your drawers

Amazing in kitchen drawers and the cupboard under the sink. IKEA do a roll the perfect width.
Also great for the top of wall cupboards, never have to clean them just replace the paper.

My mum, who was very thrifty and never bought anything unecessary (think yogurt pots for plant pots, washing out plastic bags to reuse, saving buttons and zips from old clothes) always had drawer liners. She obviously thought they were important, but what are they for?

I love them! Especially scented ones. It stops you snagging your tights and best undies on the rough bits in wooden drawers. Except my drawers these days are mdf.

How often do you change them and do scented ones keep your clothes smelling freshers for longer

Think it depends if you buy wipe clean ones(most are these days) then hardly ever and I’d rather wipe clean and add some bounce sheets for freshness I think. Amazon’ do some fab rolls of shelf/drawer liners that are wipe clean

I don’t think I could bring myself to buy them when I could wrestle with a roll of wallpaper instead.

I used to get them as Christmas presents from relations year after year. Seemed pretty but pointless.

I use and like them but have old fashioned wood furniture.

My DD has IKEA Hemnes storage (not sure what material it is but white and smooth finish) and I wouldn't have thought they were necessary for that.

Oh I wish I had drawers just so i could have drawer liners! I remember my mum bought me scented ones when I was a child. They were a real treat.

I nearly started a thread on this very topic so I'm pleased to see one has already been started!

I've been decluttering recently and also wondered about drawer liners and where I may get the from.
Our furniture are all old and I don't like putting tights and silk items on bare wood.

Where can I get them from please? Out Laura Ashley has recently shut down. Will spare wallpaper do?

Thank you.

Old newspapers are good for on top of kitchen wall cupboards, just replace them every now and then.

Scented? Like lavender?

They are a total desperation no inspiration Christmas present aren’t they! A bit like bath cubes used to be.

Though to be honest I would rather have drawer liners or bath cubes than seasonal candles.

I keep a couple of unwrapped bars of soap in each drawer and in bed linen cupboard, my late DM and DGM used to do this, so I guess you could use wall paper to line and bars of soap for a nice smell…..

Do draw linning papers come in anything other than rose or lavender? I just have think about them at whossh nostrils full of grannies house.

The IKEA plastic/padded ones are good for the pan up side as provided some cushion.

Thanks everyone. We have a bit of wallpaper left so I will try that first and put a drop of lavendar oil or two on it.

Newspaper works well. Got some real vintage stuff here... great thing is that you know how long its been there!

There's a company that solely sells these, scented (all different scents) and wipe clean. Will have a think of the name of it.

If you want your drawers / wardrobe to smell lovely. Just buy some tumble dryer sheets and put them in them.

Now that's clever!

I have them as I have old pine drawers. Pretty, scented and easy to put in.
Other scents like lily of the valley, sweet pea etc. Lakeland, RHS, Amazon just google for lots of choice.
