Materials: Lack wall shelves, Byholma basket
Description: We were looking for new bedside tables to match our new bed but everything we were finding was either too expensive, too short, or both.
So we used two small Lack shelves ($9.99 each) and a Byholma basket ($5.99) for storage and for the cost of just over half of what the other bedside tables were we got two custom ones that we could fit to the exact height we wanted.
Total cost for one new table: $25.97.
I also used the Lillholmen toothbrush holder with cup as a bedside water glass idea that I saw posted a while ago.

These are shelves meant to go on the wall, right? I don't see the hack here. They are wall shelves, you put them on a wall, and are using them to hold a basket.
ReplyDeleteIt might look nicer if there were more space between the top of the basket and the top shelf. And maybe the remote could go inside the basket, and the binder clip with the charger cable could be relocated.
Jules, I'm using an IKEA kitchen table as a desk... Can I submit my 'hack'??
ReplyDeleteWell I like it!! I have a tiny space next to my bed so this has helped me! I like the basket too.
ReplyDeleteOK, not the most radical repurposing, but I like the idea of putting the two shelves together with something else in a way that looks like one unit, that is a novel way of looking at them. I would have located the charger cable more discreetly though. Still looking for a good way to do this on my bedside table (Moppe drawer unit mounted to the wall).
ReplyDeleteShelves to the beds are fun.This is something new, exciting. I like this.
ReplyDeleteIt is a hack alright, and a pretty funky one too. I was looking for a bedside solution and didn't like any of the ready-made ones. But I love this solution. It's conveniently wall-mounted (mopping without moving furniture - yay!), cheap and elegant. Thanks for posting :)
ReplyDeleteI like it. Visual re-purposing counts as a hack in my book. Just because you didn't cut something up doesn't mean it isn't creative.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree!
DeleteI agree as well !
DeleteI like this too. Great for a small space. I also love the bedside cup. I always have water next to my bed and have knocked it over multiple times.
ReplyDeleteGreat hack! If I wouldn't have bought the nightstand at IKEA, I would have done this :)
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! I am about to re-do my bedroom, building a walk-in-closet but the plans are leaving us without room for a nightstand. This is absolutely brilliant! I am adding a third shelf making the middle shelf my book/magazine shelf & using a sleeker looking box. Thanks for this great idea!
