Growing up, I'd always dreamed of a rolling ladder, so this was a dream fulfilled for me,” she says. At IKEA we believe that sourced in responsible way, wood is a key change driver for climate mitigation. Allerdings war ich nicht gerade begeistert als ich die Bretter aus der Packung genommen habe und bereits Beschädigungen bemerkt habe.

The design uses a bottom trim piece of wood that matches the moldings used throughout the rest of the house for an ultra custom look. It provided us with a cost-effective, fully customizable shoe storage system without having the permanence of built-in cupboards,” Young says. Not only that, but if you have a habit of placing iced drinks on your furniture (I do everywhere), particle board IKEA furniture will not stand up to that. It’s renewable, recyclable, durable, ages beautifully and it is an important part of our Scandinavian design heritage.I’ve been trying on paper but it’s not working out easily so I think being in the space and “drawing” it would be best. Amy Bennett of Abigail Amira Home used two side-by-side floor-to-ceiling Billy Bookcases with extensions to create a mini-library in an underutilized corner of her bedroom. A sophisticated paint color, modern knobs, and traditional trim help to make the unit look classy and expensive in this home office. We decided against adding a ladder because, well, kids, but maybe that’s something we’ll add in the future!

This is a little offtopic, but I've had four Billy bookshelves, and every single one of them has broken.The plywood wasn’t long enough to do it in one big strip so we had to cut a few pieces, but these marks and nails are next covered with caulk so you don’t see any seams. Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. The bookcase is perfect for storing and displaying all your favorite items, from books to plants and decor. The IKEA solid wood stuff is awesome, but their particle-board products (like the Billy) are terrible.

What's great about hacking a Billy bookcase is you can design an end product that truly fits your needs. Available in multiple colors to suit your home, this bookcase is a versatile and space-saving storage solution. Wallpapering the back of your bookshelves is an excellent way to add more personality to a space on the cheap. Please please please let me know in the comments if you use this tutorial to do your own hack, I would love to see how it turned out for you!

If your wall color is this dusty blue— Barking Creek by Valspar—and your dining room décor a melange of pastels, all the better. I’ve also just put them next to one another to round a corner, and the empty space between is an AWESOME place to stash a skinny floor lamp!

Then, use straight metal brackets to attach the two BILLY bookcases together at the top and bottom shelf. In the gangway to the bedrooms in his home, Marc needed extra place for the books to read in the bedroom. And while a lot of the rooms I was inspired by on Pinterest don’t actually have books on their shelves (uh, what? Overall, it is a bit crowded with things—definitely not minimalist—but it’s just so special to get up close and look at the dimensions of each shelf and find little hidden treasures!
