Good hair days start with these 4 little hacks

Keep your hair tools and products in hand and organized with these simple hacks.

#1 Hair tools holder

I hacked a simple hair tools holder using the discontinued GRUNDTAL towel rail and zip ties. (The GRUNDTAL towel rail is replaced by the BROGRUND).

Materials:
  • GRUNDTAL towel rail
  • Zip ties

GRUNDTAL towel rail (replaced by BROGRUND) | Buy on IKEA.com

The wires from the hairdryer / hair straighteners will slide inside the towel rack will not tangle so easily. Simple yet functional!

#2 Hair products organizer

Materials:
bekvam spice rack

BEKVÄM Spice rack | Buy on IKEA.com

Pretty simple hack here, just used a BEKVÄM spice rack and screwed a 9″ LANSA handle on the bottom.

The rack holds all my hair products and my hair dryer / flat iron caddy hangs from the handle. Keeps everything handy!

#3 Trofast Beauty Station

I hacked a TROFAST storage unit into a mobile beauty station.

Materials:

I flipped it over, added casters and painted it black. (Back when I made this the only color options were white and natural wood.)

I also added handles, a hair dryer holder (found at any beauty supply store) and a small storage basket on the sides. Everything I used is from IKEA apart from the paint and blow dryer holder.

#4 GRUNDTAL wall mounted beauty bar

I’m a mess in the morning. I have ADHD, which makes digging through drawers, baskets, and piles a nightmare, and I have to compete for one of two bathroom vanities: my husband shaves in the en suite bath while my daughter primps in the other. Our condo is tiny and our bathrooms are tinier… no room to share!

But with this hack, I made vertical organization work as a dressing table. Read more.

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.

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.
