If you’re anything like me, then you’re constantly looking for ways to create more space in your home without adding to the muss, fuss or clutter.
Chelsea needed to find a solution to her cluttered room, mismatched furniture and lack of storage. In this video, watch as Chelsea documents her process of building a raised platform bed using IKEA shelving units, as well as a simple DIY wooden shelf and draping around the bed head.
Wait until you see the finished result. All of Chelsea's belongings are perfectly hidden away and organized — and it's all done on a budget. There's even room for her dog's bed underneath! One YouTube user says, "That area underneath the bed is like a kid's dream to use it as another room underneath."
IKEA Products Used:
- 2 Kallax 4box Unit – $40 each
- 2 Kallax 8box Unit – $75 each
- 2 Ekby Stodis Brackets – $2.50 each
- 1 Lill Net Curtains – $5.99 each
After three months, Chelsea was happy to report that her raised bed was still standing strong. If you’re worried about it not supporting your weight, Chelsea says you can apply extra support with hardwood — and like with any DIY project, you should make adjustments to suit your needs.
