Turn wall space into personal storage

Not much space for storage? With a SKÅDIS pegboard, you can keep a lot of smaller things close at hand. Each pegboard is a bit like a blank canvas. There are different accessories like hooks and containers. So you can choose the best ones for what you want to store and display and create your own personalised wall storage.

A room divider and so much more

Dividing a room into two can make it feel bigger and help you use the space more efficiently. With this KALLAX shelving unit as a room divider, you get lots of storage on both sides, too. It also helps you personalise the room because you can show off photos and ornaments and use the inserts and boxes that you like.

Customise your KALLAX shelving unit with inserts and boxes

Organise your smaller stuff and help make your KALLAX shelving unit more unique and personal with inserts and boxes that fit perfectly.

More table space whenever you want

Even in a small space, you can have a bigger table – at least part of the time. This VIHALS extendable table means you can create more table space when you need it. It gives you flexibility. You can have more friends over for a meal or leave a jigsaw puzzle half-finished when it’s time for dinner.

Extra comfort for all the things you do

A comfier chair like this BLECKBERGET swivel chair can be a great idea. Not just for lingering longer over meals but those other things that happen in the dining area, like getting ready for guests. And when they arrive, why not set the mood with some background music from a VAPPEBY Bluetooth speaker?

A dining area that suits you, even in a small space

The KALLAX shelving unit provides lots of storage. It also divides the dining area from the living area and helps give the home a personal look. Complementing the extendable table, a VIHALS folding chair and stackable IBBARBO stools are easy to take out for guests and store away when they’ve gone. Flexible furniture, personalised storage, and creating a home that reflects you are the keys to this dining room.
