"Minibar" Ikea Style


Materials: Expedit, Dioder, Hutten, Rill

Description: I wanted to have a small bar inside my living room.

So I decided I take a 2x2 Expedit in white, sawed a "Hutten" down to only 6 bottles, they fit now perfectly inside the Expedit. Painted them white for a better match.


Used Rill at the base of the Expedit for easy moving.


For the nice lighting I used a white backboard from a hardware store, lifted it about 1 cm and montaged a Dioder for lighting.

  8. Hi, this is a great idea. Can you provide a picture of how the lighting is set-up?

  9. I loved this idea, so I took it a step further. I used the 4x4 Expedit and implemented a wine glass holding system - got some under cabinet racks from a local home goods store. I'll try and get pics and submit it here. It turned out really well!

    1. The "glass doors" are actually baskets that fit in the expedit,

      if you search "Lekman" you will find them in 3 different colours.

  11. Wow looking nice, how did you paint the Hutten? I tried it with a kind of Spray Lack but it didn't take the color.
