I scoured Instagram and found these awesome KURA bed hacks. Get inspired by the different styles and functions you can add to the bed. And then, get hacking!

#1 Kura bed house hacks

One of the most popular Kura bed hacks is to turn it into a home of sorts. A structure is usually built on top and around the KURA bed, which can be a farmhouse …

… a castle

a little brick cottage … you name it.

Some use the top bunk as a play area, some designate it as the sleep zone. I say, go with what your child can handle.

#2 Keep it simple

The KURA bed structure is great in itself. But adding a few pieces of well-placed 2x2s can totally change the look of the bed. All the while keeping it light and airy.

Alternatively, rather than adding, opt to strip it down for a calm “I’m-not-a-child-anymore” bed.

#3 Go with a theme

The jungle theme or safari is a fun one. Add a curtain rod to the side panel and hang plants off it. Great place for a bed pocket too.

Another way is to wrap faux plants all around the bed. Feels pretty wild already!

The side panel is fair game too.

#4 Add a book shelf

Jovana’s brilliant idea to add wood strips or dowels above the KURA wood panels turn them into a thin book ledge.

#5 Canopy for the KURA bed

It can be as simple as a rod hung from the ceiling with a curtain threaded through.

Or a canopy tent draped above it.

#6 Create a new surround

Adding wood planks to the sides totally transforms the KURA into a high-end bed.

You can also use aged or pallet wood for a rustic look.

A picket fence, perhaps?

Or two storey terrace.

Alternatively, try MDF with rounded cut-outs for a space capsule vibe.

#7 Bed, what bed?

Who says it needs to stay a bed? Make it a bus, fire truck or anything that catches your imagination.

#8 Climbing wall

The side panels of the KURA is a blank slate for a drawing board and even a climbing wall. (See similar tutorial here.)

#9 Cover it pretty

A quick and easy way to upgrade the KURA is to use peel and stick decals specially made for the KURA bed. Just browse Etsy for lots of designs. While you are there, check out KURA playhouse curtains too.

#10 Three’s company

Growing family? Make room for three. See the triple KURA bed hack here.

Or four.

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.
