Plan and buy IVAR storage in a few steps

Storage just about anywhere. IVAR is one of our favourite customisable shelving systems because they can easily be stylish showstoppers and storage superheroes.  Living rooms, pantries, office spaces, bedrooms – they all love IVAR and you will too. 

In a small office with two desks is a wall filled with IVAR pine cabinets with doors. A red lamp hangs from the ceiling.
In a garage is an open IVAR wall shelf in natural pine, storing arts materials. Kids’ drawings are displayed underneath it.

Step 1 – Choose the frames

Start by thinking about what you want to store and the space you have available. Then, combine different frame heights and depths to suit your space. 

For the first section, you need two side units, shelves and a cross-brace. Extend sideways, either at the same height or a different one. For each additional section, you need just one side unit, which you link to the storage systems with shelves or a cabinet.

Step 2 – Choose shelves and doors

With removable shelves and doors you can customise it how you need. You can even add other IVAR combinations or a desk as your needs change.

Step 3 – Add cabinets

Take your storage to the next level and add cabinets. They can be mounted into the uprights or secured independently of the shelving unit. A combo of both open and closed storage gives you the freedom to both hide and display your things.

Step 4 – Add boxes & baskets

Hide your things in plain sight with storage boxes. Whether you’re a ‘throw and go’ or an ‘everything in its place’ person, a storage box creates a tidy look and complements your style. We have a range of colours and designs with or without lids – even labelled ones for your inner neat freak.
