Hackers Help: Need some platform bed ideas

Hi,

I saw this loft bed which is perfect for my space.

I would like it in full and am wondering how do I go about finding out more information as it wasn’t linked to the original source on Pinterest.

Thank you,
Rick

Hi Rick,

I can’t help you with the original source or exact configuration but here are a few platform bed ideas you can hack from IKEA items. Hope they are along the lines of what you are looking for.

Platform bed ideas

#1 SEKTION platform bed

Chris took seven standard SEKTION kitchen cabinets from IKEA and turned them into a platform bed with storage underneath. It’s a perfect solution for anyone with limited closet or attic space. See how it is done.

#2 FAKTUM platform bed

This one uses the old kitchen system, FAKTUM, but you can achieve something similar with SEKTION or METOD cabinets. See how it’s done.

#3 Loft bed with den

Don’t throw the IKEA AKURUM kitchen cabinets away just yet. They can be turned into an ingenious loft bed with den and plenty of underloft storage. Ada repurposes the 15″ AKURUM cabinets into stairs and the 24″ ones into storage. The old closet is stripped away and the loft bed built into the nook, taking advantage of the room’s height and maximizing storage space. It turned out nothing less than impressive. Get the details.

Hope it triggers some ideas for you.

Happy hacking,

Jules

SKÅDIS: 5 ways to make the IKEA pegboard even better

IKEA introduced its own pegboard system, SKÅDIS, two years ago and I’d say it’s one of the best systems IKEA launched in recent years. I love how super customisable it is, with a growing range of accessories that help keep things organized. It works everywhere, in your wardrobe to bathroom . Probably anywhere you have a flat surface to hang it up.

No other materials required. IKEA item used: KALLAX 2 x 2 (77 x 77 cm) KALLAX 2×2 | IKEA.com All you need to do is assemble 3 of the pieces in a U shape. That is all. If you want to strengthen the structure you would need to drill a couple of holes in order to use the long middle shelf of the KALLAX unit as a back reinforcer. Easy and it works. ~ by Fabio Tudela #2 KALLAX standing desk I choose to stand at work because it makes me feel infinitely more productive.
