A Skinny Nightstand Project idea
Installing a floating nightstand is another excellent idea for your limited-space bedroom since it won’t take up your floor space or wall. All you need are two pieces of the IKEA Mosslanda picture ledges.
Then, attach one to the wall in the ‘normal’ position while the second piece is in an upside-down position. This way, the top and bottom parts will face each other.
To enhance the use of the nightstand, add an LED strip light, which will shed subtle light, replacing your bed lamp.
The IKEA Seating hack projects for the Bedroom
Turn the IKEA Kallax cubby storage unit into more multifunctional furniture, such as a window seat and reading bench. Add a simple DIY bench cushion to the storage top to make sitting more comfortable.
Finish the DIY without any sewing. You just need a piece of plywood, bench foam, batting, fabric, scissors, and a staple gun. In fact, you can do it in less than an hour. So simple and time-saving.
First of all, cut everything to the correct size. Cut the plywood and the foam to the same size while the batting is wider to cover the foam. Then attach the foam to the plywood, and lay the batting on the foam.
In the final stage, cut the fabric. The size should be wider since it will cover all the surface area. Leave some centimeters, so it can be attached to the back area using the staple gun. If you want a bit of luxury, add gold longline feet at each seating end.
A Playful IKEA Storage project for Kid’s Room
Kids love Lego so much. So does the mom. Since it’s not just entertaining the kids but also educating them, increasing their creativity. Thus, why not create bigger versions of these famous blocks to serve as storage spaces?
You need some Ikea Eket cubes, wooden boards, a glue gun, and your preferred color spray paints. It starts with assembling the “Lego” pieces using your glue gun. Then paint all over the surface, and mount it onto the wall.
The IKEA platform bed project idea by Arnaud De Matteis
The author derived the proposal from the furniture construction of a 29m2 studio.
- Option 1: The designer will construct a convertible sofa with Storage, but the owner will have to fold and unfold the bed daily.
- Option 2: Include a double bed and the sofa while sacrificing storage space.
To solve the issue, Arnaud decided to make a loft bed, which takes full advantage of the apartment’s vertical space while getting the living room with the sofa and a little table on one side.
On the other side, enclosed by a screen and perched on a platform, is a makeshift cocoon for sleeping.
For the project
Poplar plywood is the best option for the primary material (better value for money). If you want something reliable and consistent, stay away from okoumé. Whereas MDF provides the ideal surface for painting, plywood is not the best choice for painted boards. For the optimal result, your recommendation is Bestå range.
