The items you\u2019ll need are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/us\/en\/catalog\/products\/10159099\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LACK wall shelf<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/us\/en\/catalog\/products\/00201904\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FINTORP Rail<\/a>.\n\nOf course, you should measure out the space and go view the selection of rails and shelf sizes before purchase. If you intend on setting it up in the closet, you need to make sure it\u2019s going to fit lengthwise and widthwise when clothes are hanging off it!\n\nBefore installing the wall shelf, screw in the rail to the bottom. Now your client can store items for display at the top, but she can also hang clothes and other organizers off the rail!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bedside_Shelf_See_the_tutorial\"><\/span>Bedside Shelf (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/small-space-ikea-hack-turn-2-bekvam-spice-racks-into-a-bedside-shelf-244346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">See the tutorial!<\/a>)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAt just a fraction of the cost of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/us\/en\/catalog\/products\/00290778\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cheapest wall shelf<\/a>, these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/us\/en\/catalog\/products\/40070185\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$4 KEKVAM spice racks<\/a> have been making waves in the IKEA DIY community.

Magazines, crafting supplies, bottles, plants, etc. And here\u2019s the kicker\u2014it resembles the Wardrobe Shelf hack we just mentioned when you flip it upside down! Paint it the color(s) you wish and then suspend it upside down. The upper surface becomes a floating shelf that can be used for displaying objects.

Your clients will be able to sit down and have easy access to the shoes and sports equipment in the cubbies below.\n\nYou\u2019ll need the single-column KALLAX shelf, 5.1\u2019 x 4\u2019 plywood board, 1\u201d thick foam, 2\u201d thick foam some batting, and canvas fabric. Krys of Melo-drama upholstered the 1\u201d thick foam-batting-plywood combination with two pieces of 4 \u00bd feet long canvas to make the backboard. Since it will be pushed up against the wall, simply put the shelf at the feet of the board to anchor it. Then cut a piece of MDF board and attach the 2\u201d thick foam, batting, and more fabric to it. Staple excess fabric onto the underside.
