Beauty bar for less than 40 quid. No hacking required.

This is not a ‘hack’ as such, more of a change of item description! I have created a beauty bar within my bedroom using a selection of IKEA products.

On the right of the dressing table is the IKEA TROFAST drawer set, which can be found in the children’s section. You can choose a selection of shallow or deep drawers to fit your beauty products.

Just below the table is the IKEA SUNNERSTA containers with the SUNNERSTA rail, which I picked up from the kitchen section. This combination is a fab way of storing and organising my makeup, hair brushes, etc.

And what makes it even better is the rail was £1.50 and the containers were 50p. The TROFAST unit was £25 and the drawers were £1.50 for the small ones and £3 for the deep one.

Total £37.50 for complete beauty bar and storage! I am incredibly happy with it.

#1 GRUNDTAL rails to the rescue

Squeeze a beauty bar into a tiny room with vertical storage. This idea uses the GRUNDTAL rail as the solution. Just hang all your beauty tools off it. Add a drop leaf table below should you need more “workspace”. See more.

#2 BESTÅ BURS as a slim makeup table

#3 Modern makeup table with lots of storage

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.
