Three IKEA Closet Makeovers for under $3,000

Organizing your closet—or designing a new one—doesn’t have to break the bank. You use your closet every day, but chances are the space isn’t getting the attention it deserves. If you can close the door on a problem, it’s only human nature that you will. However, closing the door does not eliminate the problem. (It’s one reason we love the new open closet trend.) Closets are rarely well-designed, especially if you’re designing in an older or atypical home. They're too small; the shelves are too high; the rack spacing is all wrong, etc. But it can be difficult to imagine a solution when all you can see is the mess in [...]

It’s sustainable, affordable, and an overall great investment. However, the high ceilings and massive rooms typical of these conversions can be both the draw and the drawback—especially when considering a living space. Michigan native Brad discovered this problem when he and his fiancé purchased an apartment in the newly renovated factory building near his hometown. The couple was excited about the modern space, and since neither wanted kids at that point, they were happy with a one-bedroom option. The apartment layout included a living room, kitchen, and bathroom, [...]

Designing Multi-functional IKEA Closets to Store a Little of Everything

These IKEA Closets fit more than just clothes with our solutions. Your closet probably doesn’t function just to hold clothing, and we’ll tell you a secret: That’s okay.

IKEA Walk-In Closets: With or Without Doors?

Walk-in closet customers aren’t as open as you'd think! As certified IKEA designers we’re seeing IKD customers obsess more about their IKEA closet design than their IKEA kitchens. How could that be? Well it actually makes sense. People associate the closet as their own unique space that reflects their personal style. And it’s a space that people need to keep them organized. A kitchen is (typically) shared so there is compromise involved. Today’s home owners are even listing each article of clothing they own on an inventoried spreadsheet! And the shoes — dozens and dozens — need yet another spreadsheet. So closets really need to be organized. How would you decide [...]
