Skådis pegboard stand as awesome craft room divider

Can’t drill into walls? Here’s how to make a stand for the SKÅDIS pegboard.

I bought some attachments to put the SKÅDIS pegboard at the end of my desk but my desk top was too thick.

And I didn’t want to hang it on the wall as I like to change my craft room/ dressing room around all the time. So I repurposed a clothes rail, previously used for hanging houseplants, to create a pegboard stand.

I love that I can move it anywhere I need to.

IKEA items used:

SKÅDIS pegboard (75×56)
SKÅDIS bungee cord accessories

Other materials and tools:

Habitat Arnie clothes rail (£12 on Amazon) (or any clothes rack of the appropriate width)
S-hooks for hanging

Pegboard stand instructions:

Hang the pegboard from the clothes rail using the S-hooks.

Use a couple of SKÅDIS bungee cord accessories on the sides to help keep it vertical against the weight of the items hanging on the board.

And that’s it!

More options:

You can hang an additional peg board below the first one using more S-hooks for a full-height room divider.

How long and how much did it cost?

It took five minutes once I had the idea. The peg board and clothes rail were each £12. I already had the S-hooks and I think the bungee attachments were £3 for a pack of 3.

What to pay special attention to?

Really heavy items on the pegboard will cause it to sway back or bend. The bungee cords aren’t really strong enough to prevent that. You will need stronger side attachments if you plan to hang tools or heavy items.

Looking back, would you have done it differently?

If I can find some attractive zip-tie attachments for the sides I may use those to replace the bungee cords.

Happy hacking!

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.
