Square metre challenge part 1: Bedroom for two

Living small is the new living large. We challenged ourselves to make a rental bedroom for two as small as possible. Then we tested it! In the first episode of this series, we show how multifunctional, movable and layered solutions create storage and open floor space.

    I tried to see the possiblities instead of the limitations. This was especially a challenge because it’s a rental, and I didn’t want to drill so many holes in the walls.

    Check out how we used METOD kitchen cabinets to make a bed with tons of storage.

    Storage that moves out of the way is great for small space like this IVAR shelving unit hack.

    We love to see our customers get creative with our products. Go for it! But please note that altering or modifying IKEA products so they can no longer be re-sold or used for their original purpose, means the IKEA commercial guarantees and your right to return the products will be lost.
