Kid’s closet in the hallway: Perfect for little coats & shoes

I just put together a kid’s closet for my little one, which turned out great.

In our hallway, I had a little spot and needed a place for my son’s coats, shoes and accessories. I could’t find anything that would fit and looked good. So I decided to make one myself.

IKEA items used:

  • EKET cabinet
  • EKET adjustable feet
  • EKET box
  • 3 different SKUGGIS hooks
  • DITTE fabric
  • DRAGAN box

Hacking a kid’s closet for the hallway

First, I got 2 EKET cabinets, the deep ones to put the EKET box in. The adjustable EKET feet to level it out.

Then I got some some hooks. I choose the SKUGGIS and a DRAGAN box to put in small bits.

Next, I cut the wood panel to the right height and rounded the edges and painted it white.

After that, I searched the internet for a nice wallpaper and came across a “half moon” wallpaper.

I took it as an inspiration and used some potatoes to stamp the color on the panel.(Use a sponge to soak up some color and press the potato onto it. This way you won’t get to much color on the stamp)

When the paint dried, I mounted the wooden panel onto the EKET cabinets using screws, drilled in from the back.

To keep the two cabinets in front together, I used some double-sided adhesive tape.

I also taped the hooks and box with the double-sided adhesive tape on. (You could use screws too.)

To create the seat I used a thin wooden panel, put some foam on top and wrapped it in DITTE fabric, fixed with tape.

That’s it. And I am really happy with the outcome.

The part that took the longest was the stamping.

You can personalize this idea with all kind of different products and colors.

KALLAX desk ideas: Three ways to set up a workstation

Three great ideas for a KALLAX desk . #1 Compact, minimalist desk for laptop I put together a KALLAX desk for my laptop for just under 25 euros. Just a KALLAX 2×2 is needed.

SKÅDIS: 5 ways to make the IKEA pegboard even better

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
