Bricking news: LEGO BYGGLEK the best gift yet

13 Instagram posts show why the LEGO BYGGLEK should be top on your gift list.

Almost three months ago, IKEA and LEGO launched the product of their collaboration — BYGGLEK in the US and Europe. (I’m still waiting!)

My first thought was that the BYGGLEK was “just” a collection of boxes of different sizes: one set of three small boxes, a large and medium box. Along with the boxes, a set of LEGO bricks to kick-start the play experience.

What has happened since?

Did they remain as dusty storage boxes in dark cupboards?

Well, I should have known better. A studded surface never remains so with LEGO fans. A check on Instagram hashtag #bygglek revealed lots of delightful creations.

Oh what fun.

Homage to IKEA
Play at home

Many BYGGLEK creations centered around homes. Like this Grecian styled house.

Or beach house. @hello.bricks used the various BYGGLEK boxes to create a 3 level home any minifig would love. I mean it has a barbecue pit and jacuzzi.

And this amazing structure from @trickybricks.

Granted, you need a lot more of other LEGO pieces besides the BYGGLEK, but setting the creations on a platform seem to elevate the design.

Three swipes (or click the right arrow) to see the tea box by @mind_the_brick. Perfect for that too.

A fantastic harbor front home. The BYGGLEK box lets @my.lego.mocs raise the street scene and add a metro line and port.

A pool villa. I wouldn’t mind staying-at-home here.

Christmas comes early

Lots of Christmas creations on the box too. This one, funnily with Santa partying with Stormtroopers. You never know.

Santa lights up on this one.

In case you’re wondering what’s happening at North Pole.

LEGO BYGGLEK, the gift that keeps on giving.

Delicious designs

And of course, food. A hot dog is included in the LEGO BYGGLEK 201-piece brick set. The chef and his kitchen comes with too.

This LEGO fridge takes the cake.

Lastly, a menagerie.

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. 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. Our department recently moved into a new building and we had the opportunity to design our own spaces.

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
