Hey guys, so I've added in a bunch of FAQ/most asked questions in the description so check that out. I may have answered your question already. Also more detailed instructions & information www.ikeahackers.net/2015/03/raised-bed-inside-built-wardrobe.html Love you all x
I'm curious to know why did you use 2 "four box cubes" for the back wall instead of using another "eight box cube"? I'm asking because I want to try this but if I can buy 3 units instead of 4 it will make life much easier lol.
This is so smart. Thank you so much for this idea. I've been watching raised bed diy videos for 30 mins and just found yours. So creative.and perfect for apartment livers that can't drill holes in walls.
omg, you have no idea how happy I am right now. My parents agreed on me having a bigger bed. But I could not find the perfect one. Well, quess what?... I just did!! Thank you so much!!! I love the idea btw. xx sorry if I misspelled something, I'm Dutch
Omg!! This is amazing honestly I'm looking at these kinds of videos because my room is unorganized and messy putting the bed into the clostet thing was the smartest thing ever I'm going to try this thanks!!!
That's really cool. If you end up having to pull out super tall nails again, you can place a fat chunk of scrap wood next to the nail, and use that to lever the hammer. I think I'm going to try this build in my studio. Thanks!
I had the exact same white utility shelf seen in the beginning, I turned it into a storage bed by laying it horizontal, add board and legs underneath and flip open doors on top. I used two units to build a queen bed leaving some spacing in between.
Love it! I was going to do the exact same thing for bed frame but with 4X Kallax cause I wanted it lower but then I concerned if it won't support my weight LOL but you're right that we can always use hard wood for a better support. Nice video! Keep it up
Btw if you plan on making it and this video isn't enough instruction the link in the bio to the ikea hackers site has more info you just need to click the link and search platform bed and scroll a little. Me and my mom are making it today!
@@sarahharris5478 difference with standing on them and putting a bed on them is that the weight is spread between all the supports and not focused on just one. Which makes it effectively "lighter" (like holding something in one hand vs two)
I've been meaning to fix up my bed (it was bought used for my brother (not the mattress!) then it was thrown in my room when he moved out) and it's a really brown...but I think I'm going to do this instead!!!! It came out so beautiful! I'd probably use the platform thing from my old bed tho...since I am on the heavy side, and I do tend to move around a lot....and I'll probably create alittle hammock thing for my cat using the platform thing from my bed and a small weed section...jk on that...but it is perfect for alittle privacy omg I JUST LOVE THIS SO MUCH. kinda bummed I didn't think of that xD
What a great idea , feel like getting rid of my king bed and do exactly this . And i am an elder hahaha .Am looking for to seeing any off your other projects . x
great work and gives me ideas for more storage. also I think this video should he inspiring to girls and women as its nice to see the woman doing the labour work I say this because where I'm from in the UK they aspect men to do all this kind of work and would never do it them selves which is a shame as when you see the finished product it gives you a good feeling that you have built what's in front of you more woman should be like this. again great work and thanks for some ideas.
This is super cute but I feel like with my weight I'd probably end up having the mattress fold in the middle and I'd sink down in the empty space. If I made something like this I'd pretty much have to have middle support haha
Chris Murff Possibly.. if you follow my pinterest (link in description) and go to my board of organisation, I have a few good pins there specific for art and design :D
I really like that bed! I have a husky who loves to sleep under my bed & I worry sometimes that he'll get stuck. Did you move the bed with you? I rearrange a lot & it's nice that I can easily maneuver my bed now.

The serum used to paint the planks is called varnish aka wood polish
How is it holding up??
this is by far the most creative bedroom makeover I've ever seen
+Grace Gordon Thankyou so much!!
That area under neath the bed is like a kids dream to use it as another room underneath. love it
Looks like she’s using it for her pet.
I love the little space at the bottom of you're bed. I feel like I would sleep there most nights instead of on the actual bed
Jennely P. I actully have done that a few time... its so cosy! :)
I bet you could fit a twin sized bed in that space! Great for sleepovers!
Jennely P. Silly girl - that’s where the Boogieman sleeps!
@Jennely P. I'd be scared a ghost is under my bed😬
I LOVE how u did everything urself! Girl Power
Yes! Thankyou :)
Her dad did some of it though.
She could do that by Herself easily but she waant allowed to ;)
go gurlz!
pussy power!
I just wanted to say thank you! I did this bed design with a few of my own touches and the bed is sturdy and it makes my room look fabulous!
lena maynes what did you do?
I have never thought of raising my bed to have more storage under neath! OhMyGod such a clever idea!
I can't even put up a poster with out messing up lol
same aha
This is so smart. Thank you so much for this idea. I've been watching raised bed diy videos for 30 mins and just found yours. So creative.and perfect for apartment livers that can't drill holes in walls.
Please do an update video on your whole room and how you like the bed situation!
omg, you have no idea how happy I am right now. My parents agreed on me having a bigger bed. But I could not find the perfect one. Well, quess what?... I just did!! Thank you so much!!! I love the idea btw. xx sorry if I misspelled something, I'm Dutch

this will be my forever favorite room saver diy
Thankyou!
Yasssssssss. I love that you did basically everything! Ugh I love how your vision came out. This is so cool
I love the space you have created for your dog underneath your bed.❤️
That's really cool. If you end up having to pull out super tall nails again, you can place a fat chunk of scrap wood next to the nail, and use that to lever the hammer. I think I'm going to try this build in my studio. Thanks!
Oh thats so helpful! Thank you!
This is such a fab way of getting rid of clutter! And how you made this yourself too with Ikea furniture is insane!
CerysJane Thanks gorgeous!!
It's so refreshing to watch a you do this. Girl powerrrrrr!
Omg the idea for your bed is genius!
:) thanks lovely
YAY FINALLY AN AUSTRALIAN UA-camR!!!! Thank you
+Charlotte crowe Aussie Aussie Aussie OI OI OI
For all those who have 90 x 200 cm mattresses: buy 4 shelves from IKEA (KALLAX, 77x147cm), put them together and fix the 6 slats. Thats it! :)
Omg! That was incredible! Will love to see more videos like this. Or any ideas for storage! Lol you're awesome!
melissa valdez Thanks so much lovely!
u should do more of this kind of diy! they are so cool, dope and unique!
I'm working on it!
I love the bed & the closet idea. It's really cute *o*
Clap...clap..clap....Amazing work Chelsea...
Dope, very creative Cute doggie bed underneath too. Great job thinking outside the box using the bookshelf.
I really loved that the solution was really simple!
I had the exact same white utility shelf seen in the beginning, I turned it into a storage bed by laying it horizontal, add board and legs underneath and flip open doors on top. I used two units to build a queen bed leaving some spacing in between.
this is so smart holy moly
Haha thanks :) I'm glad it actually worked ;)

missjioy weirdo
Love it! I was going to do the exact same thing for bed frame but with 4X Kallax cause I wanted it lower but then I concerned if it won't support my weight LOL but you're right that we can always use hard wood for a better support. Nice video! Keep it up

This is an amazing bed idea and really love it!! You did a great job😊😊
WOW! That's such a great idea! Now i go and ask my husband, if we can do that too. When i'm back with a video of my tears, he actually said no.
dang you're so handy! i love these kinds of videos
The before was kind of organized and nice. I liked it.
Btw if you plan on making it and this video isn't enough instruction the link in the bio to the ikea hackers site has more info you just need to click the link and search platform bed and scroll a little. Me and my mom are making it today!
+Kelly Hathaway How did you go? :)
Who needs a handyman when you have a handymom!!
Robert Scannell hahaha I'm not a mum
I'm curious for how long these IKEA shelving units will last stable and sturdy...
have you even had ikea?
They actually are quite stable for what they are. Can't have sex on that bed tho thats for sure
Right... I have these & was told to never even stand on top of them
Mel eww
@@sarahharris5478 difference with standing on them and putting a bed on them is that the weight is spread between all the supports and not focused on just one. Which makes it effectively "lighter" (like holding something in one hand vs two)
I love it, this inspired me for when I'm finally moving out
WoW it looks awesome!
Love all your storage & furniture!! Looks really nice together 💕💕
That is the smartest idea ever! I love your channel already! Even know I'm new!
Thank you so much! Love the support x

+ryan lee Thank you so much! Anyone can do this, you just need some determination
+Chelsea Mason yeah that doesn't exist where I come from to women men should do all the diy.
accent & room goals ☺️
+Michelle Armstrong Thankyou!! :)
awesome idea!! you did this so well!!
this is genius, next time I move I am so going for this!
Cute and skilled. Awesome!
Bylga Thankyou!
waiting for part 2 :)
There won't be a part 2 unfortunately, I moved out of that room soon after I made this :(
Ouch... that's too bad...
+Chelsea Mason how come ;c
Hello, please tell me why u moved out that room. Thx
I just finished reading the same Lena Dunham book! It was so good!
Also, your room looks amazing.
It's sooo good hey! Love her writing style :) and thanks lovely!
I Love this!! I'm gonna redo my grandkids room. Thanks!
i love this! you're so creative
vngelkay thank you!!!!
Thats really amazing, but are those shelves sturdy enough to hold the weight of the whole bed + 1 person on it?
I weigh 60kilos and it was very stable for me, but if you have any doubts then add some supports.
youre not heavy at all. this is really perfect for someone like you :)
Yes. She used 4 shelves and honestly 1 bed usually carry around 40kg of stuff
Hey any advice for me? I want to make this in king size for 2 adults and sometimes up to 3 kids. Think it would hold the weight?
wow!!! this is soooo cool!!! love it! ♥
zohar hendler :) Glad you like it!
You should have way more views. You're awesome! :)
MsLiaH Thats so sweet! Thank you!
Wow totally love it!!!!
Omg wow so pretty... You havr inspired me to make over my room.
So cute. Great Job!
The bed is so nice, thanks for the inspiration😍
absolutely love this xx
Very cool idea. Loved it.
Love the shoe organizer under the bed👍🏽
This is super cute but I feel like with my weight I'd probably end up having the mattress fold in the middle and I'd sink down in the empty space. If I made something like this I'd pretty much have to have middle support haha
Did you not see the planks she nailed to the Ikea units to support the mattress?
MrsSparkles No, I may have missed it. I skipped through the video a bit to see the finished product.
Omo a kpop fan! Infinite ㅇㅅㅇ
same ahahah
your so talented! I wish I could build things like this
Awesome stuff!!! I have so much stuff from my arts and design i think this bed idea is wonderful. Any ideas for a computer desk?
Chris Murff Possibly.. if you follow my pinterest (link in description) and go to my board of organisation, I have a few good pins there specific for art and design :D
