A Tiny Living Room Had Virtually No Storage - 2 Almost Invisible IKEA Finds Fixed That

A 320-square-foot apartment with no real closets requires storage on every wall. IKEA PAX wardrobes were used to create an XL closet, while the TV wall was repurposed to add a work area. Two IKEA BLÅLIDEN cabinets were installed on top of a desk framing the television. The glass cabinet doors create an illusion of taking up less space. A white shelf above the cabinets holds additional decorative items and makes the components look like a coordinated built-in media console. Glass shelves display wine glasses and pitchers as decor. The cabinets are highly rated and listed as a “Last Chance” item for limited-space storage needs.

"Maggie needed a place to work, so she used two best-selling IKEA BLÅLIDEN cabinets to turn that TV wall into a workspace that looks light and airy and feels like it's an expensive built-in. The living area has three walls: one with the aforementioned IKEA PAX wardrobes, one with two large windows, and one with the TV mounted onto it. But Maggie needed a place to work, so she used two best-selling IKEA BLÅLIDEN cabinets to turn that TV wall into a workspace that looks light and airy and feels like it's an expensive built-in."

"Maggie installed two IKEA BLÅLIDEN cabinets on top of a desk that framed the television. What makes the cupboards special is that they're made of glass, which gives them an illusion of not taking up as much space. Over the two cabinets, Maggie placed a white shelf to store and display additional decorative items. Adding the top shelf makes the disparate pieces look like a built-in media console that was always meant to be together as one."

"Plus, the four glass shelves proudly display gorgeous wine glasses and pitchers, turning everyday pieces into part of the decor. The cabinets, which have been given a five-star rating by over 200 people, are marked as a "Last Chance" item. So if you're struggling with limited space and want to add tons of storage without purchasing a bulky item, then now is the time to consider the IKEA BLÅLIDEN cabinets."
