Simple no-screw kids clothes rack on IVAR

It’s a wonder how much space a little bundle of human takes up. It’s not always easy to fit a full-sized kids wardrobe into the room. Here’s an easy way to add a kids clothes rack to the IVAR shelving unit and still have plenty of room to store toys, books and kids stuff.

No-screw kids clothes rack on IKEA IVAR

IKEA items used:

IVAR shelving unit
IVAR hook for shelf
BAGIS and/or HANGA children’s coat-hanger
Wood dowel

Materials

Assemble the shelving unit, leaving space for hanging clothes.

Put the hooks on the shelf, I did not screw them, they quite fit snug.

Hook

I hung the rod beneath the shorter IVAR shelf; if you place it on the larger you probably need 3 hooks or the wood dowel may bend.

Measure and cut the wood dowel.

Rod

Put a little piece of cardboard on each hook to ensure a snug fit.

Insert the wood dowel and hang the little dresses!

Mind the gap: Fit IKEA MALM over a tall baseboard

I forgot one thing when I ordered the MALM dresser : The baseboards in my apartment are very tall and very wide. So, when I installed it, I had a 4 cm gap between the wall and the back of the cabinet which was not aesthetically possible for me. As it is not possible to cut the back of dresser at the bottom to leave room for the tall baseboard, I decided that MALM should be raised. And it was much simpler than I had imagined. You’ll need: A MALM dresser (mine is a 6-drawer chest) Six oak bed legs (I think five would have been enough, but while I was there …) 6 mounting plates A piece of plywood the size of the bottom of the cabinet (I went to the hardware store next door, it cost me less than 5€) Screws White adhesive edging tape How to raise the MALM dresser above a tall baseboard Place the MALM upside down. Fix the plywood onto the underside of the MALM with screws. Predrill holes for the leg screws (if you have the same baseboard problem as me, make sure you measur...

IKEA KALLAX Queen Storage Bed

I built this prior to knowing this website existed, this probably would have saved some contemplation. For difficulty reference, I am no carpenter (electrician actually) and I built it with my right hand in a cast. We bought an old house with original hardwood flooring from the 40s so we were very concerned about damaging it. The casters on a normal bed frame put a lot of pressure on a small surface and we didn’t want it dented or damaged if things started a rockin …. Plus, a 40′s house has virtually no storage as you only needed 3 pairs of pants back then.
