IVAR system

Here’s how IVAR wooden shelving can transform closets and storage rooms

To organize spaces that usually hold a large number of items, you can choose closed cabinets, drawers, wall cabinets or shelves — or you can go with a modular wood storage system that includes these and more, all easy to assemble. That’s IVAR: solid wood storage furniture with shelves and doors that can make your storage room feel less like a utility space and more like a thoughtful DIY-inspired furnishing choice.

IVAR modular furniture is made from untreated solid pine. It’s naturally durable and strong enough to support heavier items, and it can also be treated with oil or wax to protect the surface and make it easier to clean. If you’d like it to match the colours already in your home, you can paint it or apply a stain. But the raw wood look remains a favourite, thanks to its natural finish and the freedom to customize it later.

The structure of IVAR shelves and cabinets is modular and easy to adapt. Add a shelf when your stuff increases, move the shelves to suit the height you need, or replace one worn part without changing the whole setup.

Where to place IVAR? Ideas for the living room, kitchen and garage

One of IVAR’s biggest strengths is how easily it adapts to different rooms. You can use it in the living room as an open bookcase, in the kitchen to support plastic bins and boxes for food storage, or in the storage room and garage for all kinds of practical uses.

Whether used on its own or as part of a larger modular setup, it works well with many styles:

• in the bedroom, pair it with natural textiles like linen and raw cotton
• in the laundry room or entryway, combine it with wicker baskets and fabric boxes
• in the living area, try shelves stained in darker tones or sage green, then add small plants or frames on top

For a personalized look, paint and decorate IVAR wooden shelves

There are lots of ways to personalize IVAR wooden shelving:

• a coat of matte white or black paint can completely change the look
• stencil details on the sides add a graphic touch
• brass handles on drawers give the combination a more refined feel

Even the sliding doors on IVAR modular shelving can be painted and decorated. And if painting isn’t enough, you can also create a more contrasting and unexpected look by pairing IVAR with an industrial-style frame, like the metal and steel shelving from the BROR system.
