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!

Can be done for more tools using the GRUNDTAL wall shelf.

#2 Hair products organizer

Materials:

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:

TROFAST storage unit

TROFAST storage unit |Buy on IKEA.com

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.

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful. What I like most is, when viewed from the living room, when closed, it looks almost like a built-in unit.
