Hey guys, so I've added in a bunch of FAQ/most asked questions in the description so check that out. I may have answered your question already. Also more detailed instructions & information www.ikeahackers.net/2015/03/raised-bed-inside-built-wardrobe.html Love you all x
I'm curious to know why did you use 2 "four box cubes" for the back wall instead of using another "eight box cube"? I'm asking because I want to try this but if I can buy 3 units instead of 4 it will make life much easier lol.
This is so smart. Thank you so much for this idea. I've been watching raised bed diy videos for 30 mins and just found yours. So creative.and perfect for apartment livers that can't drill holes in walls.
omg, you have no idea how happy I am right now. My parents agreed on me having a bigger bed. But I could not find the perfect one. Well, quess what?... I just did!! Thank you so much!!! I love the idea btw. xx sorry if I misspelled something, I'm Dutch
Omg!! This is amazing honestly I'm looking at these kinds of videos because my room is unorganized and messy putting the bed into the clostet thing was the smartest thing ever I'm going to try this thanks!!!
That's really cool. If you end up having to pull out super tall nails again, you can place a fat chunk of scrap wood next to the nail, and use that to lever the hammer. I think I'm going to try this build in my studio. Thanks!
I had the exact same white utility shelf seen in the beginning, I turned it into a storage bed by laying it horizontal, add board and legs underneath and flip open doors on top. I used two units to build a queen bed leaving some spacing in between.
@@sarahharris5478 difference with standing on them and putting a bed on them is that the weight is spread between all the supports and not focused on just one. Which makes it effectively "lighter" (like holding something in one hand vs two)
Btw if you plan on making it and this video isn't enough instruction the link in the bio to the ikea hackers site has more info you just need to click the link and search platform bed and scroll a little. Me and my mom are making it today!
This is super cute but I feel like with my weight I'd probably end up having the mattress fold in the middle and I'd sink down in the empty space. If I made something like this I'd pretty much have to have middle support haha
Love it! I was going to do the exact same thing for bed frame but with 4X Kallax cause I wanted it lower but then I concerned if it won't support my weight LOL but you're right that we can always use hard wood for a better support. Nice video! Keep it up
I've been meaning to fix up my bed (it was bought used for my brother (not the mattress!) then it was thrown in my room when he moved out) and it's a really brown...but I think I'm going to do this instead!!!! It came out so beautiful! I'd probably use the platform thing from my old bed tho...since I am on the heavy side, and I do tend to move around a lot....and I'll probably create alittle hammock thing for my cat using the platform thing from my bed and a small weed section...jk on that...but it is perfect for alittle privacy omg I JUST LOVE THIS SO MUCH. kinda bummed I didn't think of that xD
great work and gives me ideas for more storage. also I think this video should he inspiring to girls and women as its nice to see the woman doing the labour work I say this because where I'm from in the UK they aspect men to do all this kind of work and would never do it them selves which is a shame as when you see the finished product it gives you a good feeling that you have built what's in front of you more woman should be like this. again great work and thanks for some ideas.
What a great idea , feel like getting rid of my king bed and do exactly this . And i am an elder hahaha .Am looking for to seeing any off your other projects . x
I made this bed awhile ago too I love it so so much when I have friends over I make a bed under the bed I sleep their and she sleeps on the top also so so much storage I am so glad I made this bed I would recommend it
You should have done the draping above the window and put the head of the bed there. On the window itself you could have used a black out roller shade for weekends you wanted to sleep in. If you want your closet back, this is the best way to go.
I am going to do this. I have no space against my walls, because the heater wraps around the whole room, so I want to my room from the inside out, and this is a great center piece. I will just have my shelves facing out ward all around, thanks.

The serum used to paint the planks is called varnish aka wood polish
How is it holding up??
That area under neath the bed is like a kids dream to use it as another room underneath. love it
Looks like she’s using it for her pet.
this is by far the most creative bedroom makeover I've ever seen
+Grace Gordon Thankyou so much!!
I love the little space at the bottom of you're bed. I feel like I would sleep there most nights instead of on the actual bed
Jennely P. I actully have done that a few time... its so cosy! :)
I bet you could fit a twin sized bed in that space! Great for sleepovers!
Jennely P. Silly girl - that’s where the Boogieman sleeps!
@Jennely P. I'd be scared a ghost is under my bed😬
I can't even put up a poster with out messing up lol
same aha
I LOVE how u did everything urself! Girl Power
Yes! Thankyou :)
Her dad did some of it though.
She could do that by Herself easily but she waant allowed to ;)
go gurlz!
pussy power!
I have never thought of raising my bed to have more storage under neath! OhMyGod such a clever idea!
I just wanted to say thank you! I did this bed design with a few of my own touches and the bed is sturdy and it makes my room look fabulous!
lena maynes what did you do?
Please do an update video on your whole room and how you like the bed situation!
This is so smart. Thank you so much for this idea. I've been watching raised bed diy videos for 30 mins and just found yours. So creative.and perfect for apartment livers that can't drill holes in walls.
i want this room now 😓
Are you a BTS fan?
Nvm
I want her shoes lol
+VGULL._.FOOD I see you are a kpop fan:P
missjioy weirdo
I love the space you have created for your dog underneath your bed.❤️

this will be my forever favorite room saver diy
Thankyou!

Oh thats so helpful! Thank you!
For all those who have 90 x 200 cm mattresses: buy 4 shelves from IKEA (KALLAX, 77x147cm), put them together and fix the 6 slats. Thats it! :)
This is such a fab way of getting rid of clutter! And how you made this yourself too with Ikea furniture is insane!
CerysJane Thanks gorgeous!!
I had the exact same white utility shelf seen in the beginning, I turned it into a storage bed by laying it horizontal, add board and legs underneath and flip open doors on top. I used two units to build a queen bed leaving some spacing in between.
Yasssssssss. I love that you did basically everything! Ugh I love how your vision came out. This is so cool
The before was kind of organized and nice. I liked it.
I'm curious for how long these IKEA shelving units will last stable and sturdy...
have you even had ikea?
They actually are quite stable for what they are. Can't have sex on that bed tho thats for sure
Right... I have these & was told to never even stand on top of them
Mel eww

+Kelly Hathaway How did you go? :)
this is so smart holy moly
Haha thanks :) I'm glad it actually worked ;)
This is super cute but I feel like with my weight I'd probably end up having the mattress fold in the middle and I'd sink down in the empty space. If I made something like this I'd pretty much have to have middle support haha
Did you not see the planks she nailed to the Ikea units to support the mattress?
MrsSparkles No, I may have missed it. I skipped through the video a bit to see the finished product.
Omo a kpop fan! Infinite ㅇㅅㅇ
same ahahah
Dope, very creative Cute doggie bed underneath too. Great job thinking outside the box using the bookshelf.
WOW! That's such a great idea! Now i go and ask my husband, if we can do that too. When i'm back with a video of my tears, he actually said no.
It's been 5 months now, did you get it ? :p
It’s been5 years did you leave ur husband just todo this
@@hannahd5582 Yes we did! But after 2 years we went back to a normal bed because i nearly felt down from that higher one.
How to you create enough support for 2 people
im glad i found this video!! now i know how to decorate my room and still have storage
Omg the idea for your bed is genius!
:) thanks lovely
u should do more of this kind of diy! they are so cool, dope and unique!
I'm working on it!
Love the shoe organizer under the bed👍🏽
Love it! I was going to do the exact same thing for bed frame but with 4X Kallax cause I wanted it lower but then I concerned if it won't support my weight LOL but you're right that we can always use hard wood for a better support. Nice video! Keep it up
PuPae S. Thank you so much! :D
It's so refreshing to watch a you do this. Girl powerrrrrr!
I really loved that the solution was really simple!
Did you do part two yet? I'm dying for it!!
Omg! That was incredible! Will love to see more videos like this. Or any ideas for storage! Lol you're awesome!

+Chelsea Mason yeah that doesn't exist where I come from to women men should do all the diy.
I Love this!! I'm gonna redo my grandkids room. Thanks!

There won't be a part 2 unfortunately, I moved out of that room soon after I made this :(

Ella Richardson aw thankyou!
Who needs a handyman when you have a handymom!!
Robert Scannell hahaha I'm not a mum
I want to make this because underneath I would like a reading / cosy space. Also I really want a double bed as I've had a single my whole life!!!😊
This is an amazing bed idea and really love it!! You did a great job😊😊
I found this so clever
Amazing ideas to make your own bed room
I love it, this inspired me for when I'm finally moving out
WoW it looks awesome!
this is genius, next time I move I am so going for this!
this is really cool.. are you sure you want your shoes by the dog's bed? 😂
haha don't worry! She's very well behaved and only chews on toys ;)

Digitalhunny the bed was too high to do that and I wanted my desk in front of the window for natural light to do my makeup ☺
I am going to do this. I have no space against my walls, because the heater wraps around the whole room, so I want to my room from the inside out, and this is a great center piece. I will just have my shelves facing out ward all around, thanks.
You have done such a good job hun! It looks awesome xx
Thanks Hun! :):) x
Cute and skilled. Awesome!
Bylga Thankyou!
IK who u are 😊your one of the smart people in the world. Have a nice day
you did good on your cabinet👍👍👍😇😇😇
I like the answer to the last FAQ
Thats really amazing, but are those shelves sturdy enough to hold the weight of the whole bed + 1 person on it?
I weigh 60kilos and it was very stable for me, but if you have any doubts then add some supports.
youre not heavy at all. this is really perfect for someone like you :)
Yes. She used 4 shelves and honestly 1 bed usually carry around 40kg of stuff
Hey any advice for me? I want to make this in king size for 2 adults and sometimes up to 3 kids. Think it would hold the weight?
nicely done
dang you're so handy! i love these kinds of videos
This is so creative and so unique!! More videos like this please;)
Hadley Iselin Thankyou! will do :)
When I saw the gap under the bed I thought 'omg a fort' :D
I was came here to get an idea of how I want to decorate my room because I'm putting my bed in my closet to have more room and this gave me a good idea so thanks
so glad i could help!
Great video and idea, I'm probably going to revamp my room now lol 😋
I love this video and the way you did this bed. I'm definitely going to do this fire my room. Thanks
YAY FINALLY AN AUSTRALIAN RUclipsR!!!! Thank you
+Charlotte crowe Aussie Aussie Aussie OI OI OI
Cool idea xx
I want that room so much.
Good job here !
I'll try to do it , I really need space for my bedroom ,hope it works
Holy freaking crap. Can I hang out with you for a week just so you can teach me how to be THIS COOL!?
Too cute!
my god that`s so freaking cool
you should do a room tour :)
your bed came out amazing !!
Very creative.
Omg wow so pretty... You havr inspired me to make over my room.
Great idea. I think I will do this too. Thanks for sharing.
I love this and I am going to do this soon, but the bed frame is going to be really expensive
Jenny Grow $150 for the 'frame' alot more affordable then your standard bedframe :)
Chelsea Mason wouldnt it be 230 since theres also the 4-unit ones ? I was thinking about doing this for my apartment
I would've used corbals or metal hooks for under the shelves. You can get them at Hobby Lobby they blend in better.
Wow very nice idea
Ink That Card Why thank you!
Chelsea Mason you welcome
Great job my friend. Please tell us what's the name of the serum you used to kill insects?
wow that was so cool
