Materials: 1 EXPEDIT TV storage unit, 1 EXPEDIT Shelving unit (1×4), different shelf inserts, clothes rail Description: Inspired by two EXPEDIT Hacks ( EXPEDIT wardrobe with plants & EXPEDITion Small-Room-Closet ) I’ve decided to build my own wardrobe. First I built the 4×1 EXPEDIT shelf as described in the manual. Laying on the long side, it’s the basis for the EXPEDIT TV Furniture

JoeVelluto (JVLT) showed quite a few new pieces in Milan, but I was immediately taken with the bedroom set called Jules et Jim. Made of walnut, this bedroom set made of a nightstand, bed, dresser, and wardrobe.

Materials: Two Aneboda chest of drawers, Ballard Designs Fretwork panels, cut- to-order mirrors Description: I love the look of mirrored fretwork furniture and had always wanted to attempt an Ikea hack. I needed a place to change my baby and store her clothes. When I came across the Aneboda drawers for about $59 each, I thought that they would work perfectly. At my local glass shop I had them cut mirrors to fit the drawer panels which originally came with just corrugated plastic panels. Next I used mirror adhesive that I bought at the hardware store and applied it generously to the back of the mirror.

Materials: EKBY BJÄRNUM brackets (28 cm), EKBY TONY shelf, ATTEST handle (hole spacing 224 mm), 2 new screws – must be a bit longer than the ones included with the handle
Description: This one is pretty easy. The hacky part is using a door handle as the coat hanger rack.
Buy two new screws from your local hardware store (bring the screws included with the handle so you know what to look for). The new screws must be a little bit longer, try measuring the included screws up against the shelfs thickness.
Cut the shelf to the desired length.
Use a tape measure find the center of the shelf and mark two spots (224 mm apart) where you should drill. Ikea also sells templates to help you mark the two spots with the correct distance, if you are at not completely comfortable with this part.
Double check your measurements, you only get one chance so get it right.
Drill!
Simply follow the included instructions to mount one of the door handles on the shelf, like you would on a wardrobe door.

Materials: Pax
Description: I’m glad to show you my ikea hack! Mine it’s a 42sqm room that I had to divide into a day and night zone without building any wall!
I decided to buy a huge Pax wardrobe and put it in the center of my room! I assembled a Pax component with a 90degrees rotation and left it without door: now it’s my bookshelf!
Then I bought an Ikea cloth to cover the wardrobe back and my old grandparents wooden bedhead.
