Headboard secret hole


Materials: BRIMNES headboard, hinges, saw, screwdriver

Description: We had a little bedroom, with no space for nightstands. So we chose to buy a BRIMNES headboard to put the lamps and other stuff. The problem was that we put the headboard next to the wall, so we lost the lateral storage of one side. We cut the top part and joined it with hinges, so there was access to the shelf space. You lose the second shelf, but you get a "secret" hole instead. It would be more secret with white hinges, but the lamp covers it. It could be improved with a handle to open it, KLIPPIG would be perfect.


Not a great hack, but a useful one.

  1. Don't doubt yourself! This is a great hack! I would personally love a "Secret" cubby to hide all my bedside belongings! Besides, it keeps the space looking nice and neat!
