Operation Shoe-tastrophe: IKEA Ivar Hack to the Rescue
Welcome back to another hilarious episode of “Small Spaces, Big Laughs!” This time, we’re tackling the ever-growing, ever-terrifying shoe invasion with an IKEA hack that’s sure to have you chuckling all the way to the closet.
Shoes: they multiply, and my, do they grow!
When your hallway’s becoming the set of a shoe horror film, it’s time to bring in the Ivar. IKEA’s real-wood wardrobe is our undercover hero, hiding in plain sight as a wall bed, under-bed storage, and now—a shoe cabinet!
For this project, we chose the 30cm deep cabinets for a not-so-deep hallway. It’s a tight squeeze for adult-sized shoes, but with some engineering magic, we’ll make ’em fit.
How? Let’s “shelve” the horizontal thinking and go diagonal!
Slide the shelf holders down a couple of holes in the back, and behold size 43 shoes snugly secure in their new home. As feet grow, adjust the angle or invent a new bracket—nothing can stop us!
With two cupboards, we can store up to 32 pairs of shoes in this fashionable fortress. It’s natural for now, but soon it’ll match the wall color for a seamless, stylish look.
So, laugh along with us as we conquer the chaos of shoe clutter with this IKEA Ivar hack, and step into a more organized, pun-filled living space!
