Bookshelf Bed
A woman named Lummi decided that it would be best to balance her mattress on top of two KALLAX Ikea bookshelves. The best part is that she can store anything that she doesn’t want displayed in the cube baskets and keep things that she does want out in the shelves without any baskets.
MALM Dresser Bedframe
By taking Ikea storage cabinets or dressers, you can create elevated loft beds that can create extra room in small spaces. By using the MALM dresser with a mattress placed on top of it, Erica Massey was able to create way more useful space in her small bedroom.
Colorful MALM
Another clever use for the MALM shelves can be seen done by the Hitta Hem blog. Two MALM dressers were used with a mattress and also painted blue to fit into a young boy’s room and add a pop of color. Notice that the desk was hung at the same level as the bed so that everything looks uniform, continuous, and looks built-in.
