    Lol at everyone complaining. This is a mock up, if you and your partner rented a room like this, with not much space to add storage aroubd the house, this is a pretty good solution. Plus, its only to give you ideas, if you'd prefer things differently, just do them differently.

The only question is how the inner side of the bed was built? I think a single row of kitchen cabinet would not be big enough to accommodate 2 persons on it.

    • @MayYourGodGoWithYou
      @MayYourGodGoWithYou 10 місяців тому +3

      Buy lengths of smooth wood about 1'' by 3'' and cut to size of the mattress and lay over the top of the cabinets to support the mattress over the space in the middle (which you can use for items seldom used such as suit cases, out of season clothing etc). There are a number of UA-cam videos showing how to make a bed using kitchen cabinets from Ikea, one of many hacks using Ikea items.

Currently I store under the bed, on the bottom of the bed (baskets which can easily be removed to change the bedding), on the walls - using strong double sided gel tape and hooks - and I removed the door and replaced it with a curtain rod which holds a curtain for privacy but also all my dresses which need to be hung up. And I have plywood over boxes containing little used items which makes shelving for make=up and accessories etc as well as books, bedside table for water, tablet etc.

      It will look bad. You are correct. A friend of mine bought a house, gutted it and turned the upstairs into a single bedroom. Probably 12 feet by let's say 25. There is no closet. Almost everything is hung, there is 1 dresser. It's as if you just put a bed in a really large walk in closet. She's about to add even more racks to hang more clothes. It was a really clean, huge space, and now it looks super cluttered and always messy and she loves to be able to see it all. My eyes just bug out when I see it.

    I find a desk more important than the storage area behind the bed. I would put the bed facing the door (a bed with storage underneath but not so high, it looks like an altar), the clothes hanger is well in place and I would put more storage under it, finally a desk for 2 people from the mirror towards the window (unfortunately the heating will cause problems when putting a desk against the wall). Another option is a functional cabin: bed on the upper level and a free space below for a clothes hanger and on the other side a good desk to work or hang out (in my case it wouldn't work because I have a pet and I like it to sleep in my bed)

    I'm going to be moving into share accommodation with my dog, so I'll really only be able to store my stuff in my room. The bed storage and movable shelf headboard are absolutely perfect storage ideas! I'll probably also have an actual bedside table setup (on lockable wheels), since reaching behind me or knocking the bedside table drawer could end up being problematic for the glass of water I like to keep near to me during the night.

    Great video - but I am confused about using those kitchen cabinets to make a bed. Ok - the kitchen cabinets that were used in this video was: METOD (please correct me if I am wrong) ... did they have to put two cabinets together to make it a double bed? which kitchen cabinet from IKEA's portfolio was used for the other side of the bed that's against the wall? Also, is there a mattress recommendation for this type of a bed? Thanks!

      @MsSunhappy I'm semi minimalist myself, so I get what you're saying about random décor, just to fill empty spaces. But I can't relax if I have to sleep in a room where all my cloths staring me down because they're posted on the walls. or a bunch of containers, with stuff, is all there is to the space. I love ikea stuff but they need to find a better design team, because the ones they have now are not making their products look appealing. at least not to me.

  • @solidaudioTV
    @solidaudioTV 5 років тому +7

    There are some good ideas here but I think better is possible. If I had this size of room for 2, I would probably opt for bunk beds or a fold-down wall bed. The limitation of not drilling any holes makes things more difficult. If possible, I would at least try to install some upper wall shelves and use the height of the room as much as possible. The cabinets under the bed are nice and putting wheels on things does add alot of versatility, but that cart by the bed looks messy and feels awkwardly shaped. For that location, I would make it shorter (in length) and go taller. Perhaps if it had some cabinet doors on the end, it would give the room a cleaner look. Finally, the shirt racks need some kind of covering. I've seen stand-alone closets at IKEA that are more what I'm thinking. BTW, what are the actual dimensions of this room?

    • @liamdoinsomething6017
