The IKEA Malm to Bed Idea

To begin, you will require a substantial quantity of wooden slats and boards, which you must cut to the appropriate dimensions.

You will need to purchase multiple IKEA Malm cabinets with three drawers to store the primary material. Place them close to one another, but make sure to leave a gap in the midst. This will allow you to better use the area behind the couch bed in the dormer window, where there is Storage and space for other entertaining items.

The measurement will follow your circumstances, so you can make new modifications, upgrades, or downgrades as necessary.

THE IKEA Hack DIY Built-in Bookshelves with a Window seat idea

If you want the window seat taller and include a toe kick, you can build a frame to fit under the Besta. For the main material, 2x4s are recommended. Screw them together after cutting them to the desired length and depth and adding central cross beams for reinforcement. Tack this up on the wall using screws.

If you want to increase the depth of your Besta unit, you can avoid an unsightly gap between the new furniture and the wall by attaching a thin piece of wood to the back of the unit’s top. Join the Besta to the framework you built.

You might have to reduce the depth of your Billy bookcases by an inch to make them fit. If you find yourself in a similar situation, you can cut the depth or width you need from the side pieces and each shelf using a table saw.

Use offcuts from other IKEA shelves to construct the cabinet tops. Wood, with the appropriate paint, might work, too. Trim your material to the remaining height and depth between the Billy bookcase and the ceiling (or your desired height).
