If you’re the type who loves looking for interior design ideas on Pinterest then you might be interested in this genius hack doing the rounds.
Pinterest users have been getting creative with some Ikea drawers and posting their DIY constructions on the platform.
A whole host of people have gone the extra mile with the £44 drawers, using them to form their own unique dressing tables.
The product in question is the EKBY ALEX / EKBY VALTER – a mountable wall shelf with two drawers inside.
But many have looked past the standard use of the piece to unlock its potential.
Instead they have placed the drawers at hip level to make their own custom-made dressing tables. Being 119 cm wide and 31 cm deep, the unit offers ample space for makeup to be stored inside.
Pinterest users have posted pictures of their DIY masterpieces, with many choosing to mount a mirror on top – in true dressing table-style.
According to the Ikea website the EKBY ALEX / EKBY VALTER ‘allows you to keep your favourite items visible on the open shelf, and hide away things you need close at hand in the drawers.’
‘Drawer stops prevent the drawers from being pulled out too far,’ says the product description. ‘The thick back edge of the bracket creates a small space between the shelf and the wall where you can run cords through.’
Pretty ideal for a dressing table.
The design is not only inventive but is cost efficient.
Dressing tables can cost hundreds of pounds – depending on the chosen style – so this nifty home hack saves the pennies, too.
With it being Ikea, the drawers come in flatpack form, so will need to be assembled.
But those willing to spend a little extra time making the piece will reap the rewards.
