r/IKEA

When I designed and built our DIY IKEA SEKTION kitchen, I built a dedicated small cabinet just for our special edition SMEG toaster.

Easy to reach, but concealed and hidden when you don't need it. It's all wired up inside so the toaster stays plugged in and ready to go.

Even got the Eva Solo crumb brush hanging on an IKEA hook on the back of the door — so everything stays clean and neat.

This was one of maybe a dozen custom details I worked into the kitchen. I documented the whole build as I went, so if you want specifics on the wiring, the cabinet size, or any of the rest of it, ask and I'll go into it.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how good this chocolate bar is?! Been waiting all year for this to return! Anyone else have holiday favorites from IKEA?

Hi, we're trying to rearrange our daughter's bedroom (primary school age, but hopefully the design/layout will stick for years to come).

We've got an IKEA Slakt under construction and we are left with a tiny space for the wardrobe and wondering what could be done there.

It is 43cm deep and 90cm wide, although widest furniture we would fit would be 80cm, otherwise it would restrict the door opening.

We really want to fit some sort of wardrobe in there and leave the space in fron of door and window for a small desk or chest of drawers.

I was thinking to fit 2 platsa units 60 wide x 42 deep x 120 stacked on each other, with the top section with double doors and a cloth rail, the bottom section would then not have doors (no space to open) and work as boxes storage accessible via the opening between the top of the bed "foot board" (70cm tall), maybe cover that hole with some cloth to tidy it up.

Any other ideas?

Just not sure how well the space directly behind the foot of the bed will be used.

No small djungleskoks were harmed in this post

How do I adjust the little up/down switch on the PAX soft close hinges? I’ve tried pushing it in various ways and can’t get it to go up.

Hi, we installed a Billy bookcase and need to anchor it to the wall. We tried screwing it in and it kept coming loose. Is this an issue where we need to find the stud? Directions didnt say anything about that and no wall anchors were provided. I know this might be basic knowledge but it's our first time moving to a new place and assembling furniture.

This Ikea design is perfect in width but we would like the shelf on the right to be closer to 10 feet in height. Any ideas on how we can achieve this with other shelfs or products?

Hello guys!!

Maybe im tripping but I swear there was a dark wood of this color. Not the brown-black but like a dark stain wood color. Maybe in crazy but if there isn't I wish there was, im not a fan of this light oak color.

That's all lol

EDIT: solved! it is the TRUBBTÅG model!

is anyone able to tell me the name of this duvet cover? i know it was retired in the past couple years, but i cannot get a stain out of mine and was hoping to see if i could find one second-hand to replace it.

We just installed a PAX system with KOMPLEMENT drawers. After the installation of the drawers we were surprised by the, not so, smoothness of the KOMPLEMENT drawers. Even the sound is quite harsh/scrapy. Is this normal or should the drawers run way smoother? I can't figure it out myself so hopefully someone could help out!

Wanted to share out kids’ playroom after about 18 months of use/

We wanted a massive, continuous workspace that could handle arts and crafts, homework, and playtime—without taking up a ton of floor space or costing a fortune in custom cabinetry.

• The Base: We used 4 Alex drawers spaced evenly apart to create individual stations and give us plenty of storage for paper, supplies, and toys.
• The Top: We topped the cabinets with a 12-foot-wide butcher block countertop spanning the entire length.
• Added a couple Skadis units to the wall and 3d printed some accessories to use.

It gave the kids huge amounts of tabletop space to spread out, and the filing cabinets keep all the clutter hidden away. Super sturdy, simple to put together, and easily one of the best upgrades we’ve made to the room!

I saw this a while back, and I'm wondering is there's some sort of meme merch or t shirts with this written being sold somewhere

I genuinely want this just for shits and giggles
