""We liked that it doubled as storage and as a divider to create a sense of separation between our bed and table. From a functionality standpoint, it did wonders! It held our books, art supplies, electronics, clothes, plants, etc. etc.""
""I love the look of open shelving when you also have closed shelving to hide your unsightly items, but when open shelving is all you've got, it can start to look like chaos.""
""Throughout the move, I've tried to buy new as little as possible to minimize my carbon footprint. So instead of donating or selling the KALLAX and buying something else that fit our needs, I thought I could solve the issue by adding doors to the unit.""
Creating walls with large shelving units can enhance privacy and functionality in small spaces. Michelle Malia and her husband utilized an IKEA KALLAX shelving unit in their 250-square-foot Manhattan studio to separate their bed and table while providing ample storage. However, they later found the open shelving look chaotic. After moving to a larger loft, they decided to keep the KALLAX by adding doors to it, inspired by designs from Anthropologie and Crate & Barrel, to minimize waste and enhance aesthetics.
