DON'T MISS A HACK. CONNECT WITH ME.

boring room for your kid? here's what jo did!

jo fashions a hideaway for her son - a little nook he can crawl into and get lost at sea. best thing is, most of the stickers and accessories are removable. so once he gets over the penguins-and-fish phase, the room can evolve again.

she says, "when we built our house this year, we used a number of ikea items to make my son's bedroom. we used one of the upside down beds but felt it was a bit unsafe so my hubby built a rail and post to hang one of the compartment hangers on.

i made a curtain to hang on the front to make it more like a cave, we used shelves as steps/storage, stripa shelves to fill a small gap at the end of the bed. the room also uses ikea wall lamps, mirrors and a chair."

  1. This is a great room! I can't imagine what it would have cost if you had purchased similar pieces from regular furniture stores.

  4. I saw this hack is nearly three years old, but I just wanted to say I love the creativity and the almost professional way it was executed! Indeed, with such a good base the room can become many other fantasy themes. Is it still a sea theme?
