Make a tall and deep laundry drawer in no time

We wanted a drawer that could take two laundry bins to separate our white and colour loads.

But IKEA does not have a deep drawer that would work.

So we bought a high cabinet from the METOD range, and a 80 cm front. Along with that we got a MAXIMERA drawer.

Easy DIY laundry drawer

We installed the cabinet and drawer according to IKEA instructions. But for the drawer to be stable, I added a curtain rail diagonally across the side for stability.

Added a handle to the front and that’s it. There is still a lot of space in the tall cabinet above the laundry drawer to store detergent and other laundry essentials.

Works a charm.

We wanted a clean bedroom and were struggling to find a place for our laundry basket. Having no place in our bathroom, we wanted to disguise it in our furniture. We then converted our MALM chest of drawers into a laundry basket. This is how we did it.

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. 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.
