I don't take no for an answer because there is always a way. Thank you for posting this! Now I know it will work, thanks! How in the heck did you get the Lack shelves lined up so uniformly? I put two next to one another and it was a nightmare of slightly-off.
Any tips? I was super careful and took my time. It was extremely helpful to use a laser level to make a level line across the entire wall. I lined the top of IKEA hardware bars up with that line, that way the back of the shelves were lined up.
You get what you pay for with the LACK shelves so I did have to do some manhandling after the shelves were up to get the fronts to line up correctly.
Yet, some of them are still wobbly. When I installed one over another with drywall anchors not the IKEA ones, nice hardware store ones it worked great, and our laundry room install with the single, cut down LACK shelf also installed well with holes drilled to line up with our existing shelves.
The best way to use LACk shelves is when you have some room to play with so you can make sure that you get as many screws into a stud as possible. Unfortunately, that is rarely an option. Woo hoo! I was wondering if these could be cut, thank you so much! But how did you handle the Galvanized steel Suspension rail??? Unfortunately Ikea had no shelves that would fit the size we needed. We found this hack here to help us cut the LACK shelves to the correct size, which worked ok, as long as the cut side is […].
I then got some cut offs from my local timber yard, the same thickness of the shelf and slotted them in at each end glued to strengthen the ends.
These shelves have been up for 4 years now and now going to add 2 more to the other side of the hearth. What is the maximum you would be able to cut from each end what is the distance between the end of the metal support bar and the end end of the shelf as purchased? I also peeled off the edges of the cutoffs and reapplied to the shelf.
Because peeling causes the ends to curl the way I pulled it off, being a bit impatient I had to use some small nails along with glue to reattach, but the ends, while more exposed than the described job above, are obscure enough not to worry about it. However, stores like IKEA offer shelf systems that are pre-made and affordable, so all you need to do is install your shelves where you want them to go. And that is what we hope you see today.
Here are 30 Ways to Hack Ikea Lack Shelves that you should consider the next time you need some shelves. These three white shelves were built on the wall of this corner by the window, where plants get the most sunlight. Each shelf holds a similar array of different plants in matching white pots, which make it all look cohesive. Having small shelves instead of a proper nightstand might seem odd but it works, especially in small rooms. These ones fit right in the corner and hold everything from books to decorative items and even bedtime essentials, which are right at bed level.
This table is another unexpected yet incredible way to build something using IKEA pieces. By combining the long shelf with the decorative legs you get a simply beautiful yet functional sofa table while saving time and money. In this case, the Lack shelves were cut and used vertically to create cubbies in the upper section of the closet. The makeup is instead displayed on two open towers made using full and cut-up lack shelves, where it is easy to reach and be seen.
This is more of your traditional full makeup studio. It features a simple vanity with a large mirror, two storage units and then two open towers made from a combination of large and small Lack shelves.
This project uses your shelves pretty much as they are intended to be used. The small squares have been installed along the whole height of the wall, and they hold books stored horizontally with their spines showing on the outside.
Each of them holds a large book, which you can easily pick up to read as you sit down. This is yet another example of how shelves can save you a lot of space, as this tower, which was built in a corner using Lack shelves only, holds all kinds of dinnerware in a beautiful and elegant way.
Unlike most others, this tower was painted black to match the decoration, which makes it look entirely different.
