Surely you know the “Kallax” shelf π from IKEA (previously it was called “Expedit”). You have to see what this family did with it! On the blog “iron & twine” they have shown how to cleverly save space.
This is the corner of the living room in question. This space is just crying out for a shelf, isn’t it? That’s exactly what the family thought.
With a rough plan and a few measurements in the bag, we went to IKEA. The family opted for three individual Kallax shelves because they are inexpensive and can be used flexibly.
But as soon as everything was assembled and placed on the wall for testing, they noticed the mishap: they must have mismeasured. The three pieces next to each other are almost exactly 3 cm too wide and the shelf protrudes beyond the door frame. We can’t leave it like this, everyone agreed.
You can see how ingeniously the family solved the problem on the next page.
