Universal open shelves
Niches, corners and simply free sections of walls in a modern house are equipped with shelves that simultaneously perform two functions - organizer and decor.
IKEA wall shelves are presented in a variety of designs (multi-storey and single, with or without a back wall, with drawers and horizontal partitions), fastener locations (bottom, top, hidden), materials (MDF, wood, combined options with silver, copper and ferrous metal, mesh).
There are models in minimalist, modern, country and retro styles.
Plowing hobby - only for women
Many types of arts and crafts require additional space, and before placing materials in chests of drawers or drawers, it is worth considering the option of a convenient and aesthetic composition that can be created using Ikea.
Mesh shelves, unusually narrow models and shelves with holders deserve special attention.
Paints, threads, fabrics, sets of beads, blanks and tools can create a unique and colorful display that will decorate the room and the calling card of its owner.
Using the same approach, you can remove nail polishes and other outwardly attractive cosmetics from dressing table drawers. A colorful and shiny parade on elegant IKEA shelves will become a spectacular decor for a modern boudoir.
Original idea - shifters
A number of models for the kitchen, bath and hallway, which are made in a neutral design, can be fixed in a non-standard way by turning them 180 degrees.
Their main feature is the presence of a horizontal stop, which when turned upside down turns into a hanger for towels or items with handles.
Another option is to rotate it 90 degrees, which transforms the dimensions of the shelf.
A long and narrow container installed close or flush to the floor can be used to store umbrellas, sports equipment, paper cases and other items of suitable size.
Bathroom ideas
Ikea wooden shelves are perfect as a storage system next to the washbasin or above the bathtub.
You can purchase two shelves at once so that they can accommodate creams, shampoos, decorative cosmetics, combs and balms, as well as a jar of toothbrushes.
The undeniable advantage of this design is the presence of a limiter, so you don’t have to worry about whether all the cosmetics will fall off from a slight shake.
Modular cubes
Storage cubes, single, with cross partitions or combined in a row, are another type of IKEA wall shelves.
They can be equipped with identical floor models.
A modular cabinet, assembled over an entire wall by combining wall-mounted and floor-mounted cubes, provides easy cleaning (the lower compartments easily slide out).
The advantage of such storages is the ability to use not only the bottom, but also the entire internal space, which is ideally realized when storing clothes, bed linen and other textiles.
Always at hand: simple and convenient
Plates attached to the wall become a successful replacement for bedside tables. You can store the necessary things on them without cluttering the floor and leaving access to cleaning the dust that accumulates under the bed.
Things that have a habit of getting lost (keys, remote controls, glasses) can be stored on pedestals in the form of small IKEA shelves fixed in convenient places.
A wide shelf with a bottom fastening can be a compact replacement for a kitchen, coffee or bar table.
Organizer for children's room
A convenient personal wardrobe for clothes is an important attribute of a child’s independence and neatness.
A children's wardrobe assembled from cubes, filled with colorful T-shirts, pants and socks, will become a bright and useful decoration for a child's room. Combining cubes and shelves will also create convenient and spacious storage for toys.
Mini library
Ikea book shelves are perfect for decorating a child's room. You just need to paint them in a bright color, and you can place books and coloring books on them.
Your little one will definitely appreciate this designer life hack, because now all his favorite things will be collected in one place.
Game shelves
Another option for using IKEA cubes in a nursery is assembling a dollhouse.
In the compartments you can create not only models of rooms, so necessary for playing with dolls, but also create small worlds for boys - with space heroes, monsters or cars.
The main feature of such a shelf is the presence of walls and a ceiling, which increases the possibilities of decoration.
As the owner or mistress grows up, the contents of such a wall can be reviewed - the toys will go into the archives, freeing up space for teenage paraphernalia.
Shelving series "Kalaks" - the choice of buyers
The racks are available in different colors. The white IKEA shelving unit from the Callax series has gained particular popularity. It can be installed in any room of an apartment or house; it adapts to all styles and types of interiors without exception.
In addition, this product is a ready-made option for painting or drawing, or covering with decorative film. The white shelving is a field for creativity and the embodiment of the most daring design ideas.
Callax is a modified Expedit series from Ikea itself. The designers simply connected several cells that were absolutely identical in shape and size. Advantages of this design:
- They don't have a back wall, just a frame. Thus, the products can be installed along the walls. Shelves located next to outlets make it easy to place gadgets for charging.
- The structures can be used as partitions when zoning space.
- The racks are installed both horizontally and vertically, which does not detract from the advantages of this design, but only allows it to be used as functionally as possible.
- The rack can be hung on the wall.
- All Ikea shelving units are spacious and practical, as well as very aesthetically pleasing.
Kallax is a wooden shelving unit from IKEA. Such projects can be combined with other wooden furniture or built into a system of several identical shelving.
Colored improvisations
The range of shelves and cubes in the catalog is presented not only in traditional white, black and wood shades. There are red, yellow, blue and gray options that are identical in size and texture.
With their help, you can create both spectacular paired contrasts and bright multi-color mosaics.
Which upholstered furniture is better to choose?
The king of the living room is the sofa! The store has a large assortment of upholstered furniture: it will not be difficult to find the right one in size, color, and functionality.
- KLIPPAN is an economical option for a small living room. Size 180*88 cm will fit even in the smallest room. Suitable for two adults.
- GIMMARD and BRISSUND are three-seater budget models that transform into a bed. The transformation mechanism is an ordinary book, under the seat there is a spacious drawer for storing bedding. There are both straight models and corner ones - with a chaise longue.
- A more modern and stylish straight sofa bed is a bright ASKESTA. Features of the model - a click-clack transformation mechanism and a large linen drawer. Corner option - HOLMSUND with a dolphin mechanism, the linen box is located under the ottoman.
- If the covers of previous models are made of fabric, then GESSBERG and LIDHULT are distinguished by leather upholstery. The first is folding, the second is static.
Shelves with legs
Open floor cabinets with shelves of the same size are classified as bookcases, but their filling options can be very different.
Combining two high segments with a wide wall shelf can become a frame for a doorway. Corner and U-shaped kits are used to fill niches.
Several narrow and transparent shelves are used to create partitions for zoning a room.
A book shelf from the IKEA collection, thanks to the ergonomics of materials and coatings, can even become part of the kitchen furniture.
Colors and inserts
Callax has a simple and versatile design. You can buy furniture in three colors:
- white matte;
- white glossy;
- bleached oak;
- black (black-brown).
You can make your shelving more interesting with baskets, drawers and glass shelves. There are also doors that turn the rack into a full-fledged closet with small cells for storing things.
Inserts in the form of doors and drawers take up virtually no space inside the cell, but make the furniture more functional.
IKEA's philosophy is to produce universal furniture in basic colors, which, if necessary, can always be repainted and styled to suit any interior.

Closed shelves
Wall shelves with sliding and hinged doors, the main advantage of which is their tightness and neat appearance, can be used in modular compositions.
This will not only expand the functions of the improvised wall, but also add a stylish accent that will dilute the monotony of the open compartments.
TV cabinet or shelves: which is better?
Special IKEA walls for media equipment are designs developed by designers, consisting of closed and open compartments, but they are not always suitable in size.
Many people prefer to leave a free wall with a screen for which they can choose an almost invisible pedestal or make a pendant.
A modern media library can fit on a small media, and you have to fill numerous compartments of the closet with things that do not necessarily need to be stored in the living room. Shelves can be a good alternative to free up space.
Imitation of closedness
Baskets and boxes made of plastic, burlap or twigs, as well as modular wall cubes, closed on the sides and top, can be placed on open shelves, acting as a drawer.
This approach ensures ease of maintenance and mobility: you can change the appearance and function of the wall in a matter of minutes by changing the configuration of the storage units.
Open compartments create an optical effect of expanding space, but overdoing it can lead to the opposite effect.
Closed shelves allow you to bring logic and rigor to the design solution.
Shelf structures LAKK
It is worth getting acquainted with this type of shelves separately. The series is unique in that its appearance is no different from ordinary wall shelves made of laminated chipboard.
But the inner part contains a metal frame. It significantly strengthens the load-bearing parameters and strength characteristics of the product. Therefore, installation is carried out as follows.
Initially, the frame metal structure is fastened to the wall. A dowel is used for this. The size of the nail is impressive - six millimeters in diameter.
Only after this is the actual outer part put on from the outside, which is secured to the frame. The shelf itself weighs three kilograms. The dimensions are 30, 26 and 5 centimeters in length, depth and height, respectively.
Combination options
By selecting shelves, cubes and rectangular shelving of the same thickness, they can be joined on the wall to create all sorts of configurations.
This large organizer can fill the space around your desk or take up a wall in your closet.
The asymmetrical arrangement allows you to vary the dimensions of the compartments, which can be marked according to the size of things.
