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

If you do not have space for a traditional vanity this is just right for you. Mount the shallow BESTÅ BURS to the wall below a mirror. The depth is perfect for makeup storage and is narrow enough to fit into a small bedroom. Get the details.

#3 Modern makeup table with lots of storage

Need a makeup table that’s shallow yet provides storage? You’re looking at it. This uses 2 EKBY ALEX drawers combined with metal legs. Love how very modern and classy this is. See the tutorial.

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...
