An IKEA item that’s surprisingly good for indoor climbing plants

Indoor plant trellis that goes up, down or all across.

The IKEA range of memo boards are not only good for holding up notes and photos. They work brilliantly for indoor plants, real or fake.

Let’s take a leaf from IKEA hackers who have made IKEA memo boards work as an indoor plant trellis.

#1 Make it blend into the wall

Vesna hacked the KORSMON memo board into an indoor wall plant trellis.

All she needed was a spray of white paint. (You can also leave it in gold if you prefer it to stand out).

Install it to the wall according to instructions.

And tie your plant onto the frame with twist ties or clips. The memo board blends into the wall and the plant becomes the main focus.

#2 Spread it over a wall

Reddit user PlantTheEggplant opted for the black steel SÖSDALA memo board instead.

The boards were installed in a 2 x 4 grid creating a living wall in the dining room.

As seen in the IKEA Home of Tomorrow, multiple SÖSDALA memo boards and KAFFEBÖNA plant pots form an eye-catching feature. Keep them at a level where watering isn’t a pain.

#3 Hang it over a sunny window

Hang the memo board over a window. It does not block the view and the plants get the light they need. Win-win.

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.
