Saw a lady DIY small mirrors into one large one - and even though she took so much care, there was distortion between mirror to mirror. I think it was something to do with their thinness.

@rickyloftin2968 8 месяцев назад

I made the mistake of sticking them directly on my wall, even with precision they don't sit flush against each other, distort at the sides on each piece, all sit at different depths and tore chunks of plaster off my wall when tried to remove. Do not recommend 😮

@teresse2742 8 месяцев назад

This issue doesn’t really register visually if you 1) stick them to mdf backing, 2) don’t use the sticky tape but rather construction adhsive, and 3) use an actual wood trim instead of just empty space. We did this hack in our hallway and there’s no distortion. :)

@josesibi Год назад

I think this definitely has to be your most informative video that I’ve watched. From one architect to another, thank you Daniel 😊

@Dannydasaint Год назад

My goodness, this video is a treasure. My mind was racing thinking of variations and modifications of your examples. I love your content and just wanted to share my appreciation and gratitude. ✌️🙏

@victoriab8186 Год назад

with the bed: theres always the option, if you have a bed with an open frame, to buy or make your own rolling drawers to put under the bed - and if you don't have as much space as you want for drawers, bed risers exist to up the hight of your bed's legs so that you can fit more storage under the bed - which is a simpler solution (with less fear of weightbearing issues) than making your own bedframe

@lesliebooth2833 9 месяцев назад

I used the 1x5 kallax (?) shelves under my bed a few years ago and it was a huge win for me! I had one on either side and used the box spring to span the two with a lack side table to support the middle. Then I used a 4x4 kallax at the end of the bed to create a “room divider/privacy screen”. It was a bit busy so I would have loved to add the door hack ideas you showed here, but it was terrifically useful and easy, and a huge amount of storage in a tiny space!

@FernandoHernandez-jw4yy Год назад

Especially love the idea of building a bed out of Ikea Malm dressers. I slightly changed it so it consists of three Malm dressers as my bedroom has a little more space than Daniel's in the old apartment in London. Such a grest hack!

@trimonmusic Год назад

Always learn so much from your videos! Thanks for being the interior-designer/architect mate not all of us are lucky enough to have!

@lordofgraphite Год назад

Remind me never to sit on one of those cabinet benches, seeing how little support there is I'd absolutely break it 😅

@vc6478 5 месяцев назад

I like that you not only show the hacks, but also an improved version and a simple explanation of how to do it. Obviously if I do them I would research a bit more to make sure my plans were correct, but with the information you provide it allows me to decide if something is feasible. I really enjoy your informative content and video structure. ❤

@vincentchau5852 Год назад

I love these ideas. However, my only concern is that the cabinets from ikea may not be sturdy enough for seating.

@Sufficient4UsIsAllah Год назад

To make the side table more stable, add weight to it by putting cement/stones in the bottom of the plant pot.

@emsvincoffee5184 Год назад

Daniel, I love this format for your videos. The editing, the flow, the transitions, keeps me hooked throughout the video. It’s so satisfying to watch. The background music is perfect (great music choice and the loudness is just right 👌🏽). And you look great! Kudos to you and your team! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@maxresdefault_ Год назад

@kamilionoff Год назад

Well chairs are mobile and can be moved around :) Plus they are designed to sit on them in comfortable way. Cabinet sitting bench will not provide that at all.

@pikuke9790 Год назад

5:53 Put strong magnets inside the timber dials and their offcuts, for making it possible to store something inside plant pots

@MeetKevon Год назад

Currently decorating my small office and found your channel - love all the IKEA inspired ideas :D

@TangentOmega Год назад

By putting sand in the flower pot base, the dowel table becomes more stable.

@anaalves3658 Год назад

I was thinking the same thing, but I think that he wants it to have storage. You could put the sand in the bottom pot and storage for the top one.

@Serena-or7sl Год назад

@@anaalves3658 you can use a disk of iron to achieve the same effect with less wasted space

@angie6649 5 месяцев назад

This is my lucky Sunday! you are a godsend. I love a neat and well presented home. I am ready to start using your creative ideas. Best DIY I have found on RU-vid. BIG THANK YOU!!!!

@ethernick Год назад

This is the best video with best hacks i’ve seen recently, so impressive

@Frazzlenodazzle Год назад

I used two bookcase kits from Target and built a frame with wheels for each for under my bed. Tons of storage there and allowed me to build the desk in my bedroom although it does not collapse down like the one in your video.

@pindebraende 6 месяцев назад

If you're building bench seating, and you're not making a rest for the lower back, it's not gonna be comfortable to sit and eat at. A vertical wall is pretty horrible as a back rest! This is a pet peeve of mine 😅

@mullany Год назад

Just bought your new wallpaper pack - you my friend have just made a customer for life 😊

@dkirk5814 Год назад

@sasharose2963 Год назад

This was great. Ended abruptly though. Really enjoy your channel

@moonmother7654 Год назад

thanks, great content. if the bedframe shoudn't be to high, try the the built-in bench hack for underbed storage.😊

@maxresdefault_ Год назад

That's a great idea actually. Arguably less useful than a full dresser, but much more ergonomic

@saramoooon Год назад

Absolutely amazing, love this kind of video!

@Abby_Liu Год назад

I like how there is actual instructions compared to most videos that just show a before and after.

@pikachuiswatchingyou 8 месяцев назад

Having a bench made from metod cabinets I highly suggest to leave some space behind your feet because it is already uncomfortable to sit on a straight back. Not having space makes you want to sit crossed legs on top of the bench. This is not an issue if you only need it for decor or casual reading, but more if you need it as a dining seat

@HoszHosz Год назад

Daniel, I appreciate your minimalist and clean approach, that's why I think you're a great person to ask: would you make some ideas how to put up a tv wall, from a practical point of view? As my interior is rather vintage or even victorian a bit, I struggle with hiding electronics. The TV itself is okay (obviously) and the cables are hidden in the wall, but what I hate about it is the rest: the subwoofer, soundbar... and even an xbox (it's closed inside the unit fortunately). I have a midcentury tv unit to hide some of the stuff but of course the sound system is out. I've been thinking for 3 years how would I do it again and didn't come up with anything except a similar concept to your idea from this video with the picture ledge which is making a closed shelf-like unit for the soundbar but very minimal abt. 20cm high under the tv or make a fake fireplace (of course it's balancing between looking mysterious and kitsch).

@bkhleung Год назад

Awesome stuff, Daniel!

@phoebechang Год назад

super useful! thanks Daniel!

@jonnalamarco2225 2 месяца назад

Great ideas! Love your instructions too!

@DerpEye Год назад

Some of these are not so 'cheap', especially considering there are existing items that do the same job. The Ikea Malm is a bed with storage built into it, i have one. Building a huge mirror with all those elements can be both expensive and difficult: the Ikea Hovet is 196x78cm and is about only 100 bucks.

@koniku3y 11 месяцев назад

That depends on where you live or get the items from, prices varies from place to place. I built that exact mirror deco from the vid for 40$. 30$ for 15 30x30cm mirror from Lazada, 10$ for a gallon of paint and brushes

@JJerem 6 месяцев назад

Time and energy expended is also a cost to consider, as well as additional tools etc Saves more time just buying the thing you want instead of making usually

@NatashaSallesSoprano 6 месяцев назад

Omg the Ikea Hovet is hands down one of the best purchases I’ve ever made

@lokifrostpaw2976 3 месяца назад

@@koniku3y maybe they meant if you buy the mirror from ikea? It'll be more expensive

I LOVE this video, as "IKEA hacking" is one of my passions. I've modified a lot of IKEA items (like BILLY bookcases and SEKTION kitchen cabinets) to create a massive bookcase headboard for a king bed, and a couple of bathroom vanities. Please let us know of any more great hacks.

Amazingly clear directions. No song and dance from influencers who know nothing of design. Or cost. That doesn't stop them from quacking of course. So cringe. If I weren't already subscribed, this episode would have convinced me. I studied design under Victor Schreckengost fifty years ago and I believe he would be impressed.

@PendelSteven Год назад

4:16 That's true, but I love that my risers look much like a Z from the left side of the desk. That way there's a lot of space in the front not obstructed by front legs, so objects can freely lay under the shelf partially. Handy if you have to deal with large objects. That's possible since the leg is steel.

I found a cheap iron base side table with an MDF top on Amazon. Purchased it and a solid wood lazy Susan. Removed the MDF top and replaced with the lazy Susan and now have a beautiful side table. Very little effort for a nice side table.

Mr. Titchecker, those miters aren't as easy as you think they are. Try making a frame with the tools you mentioned and see.

the ones I want to do: -bookcase with drop leaf shelves (living/guest room) -storage bench -side table with storage -pretty sideboard (guest/living room) -picture ledge upside down and add hooks for entryway floating shelf + wet coat hanger (10:08)

@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609 4 месяца назад

If I wanted to use plant pots as the base, I'd saw off the bottom(s) on the top one(s) to be able to use all the room in them for storage. The foldable desk can be tweeked a bit. If you attach two pieces of timber vertically to the wall, attach a shelf on top of them and then attach the foldable brackets to the pieces of timber, the desk will not be as flat when folded down, but you will have a shelf for pens and computer mouse.

get a couple of decks of playing cards. even up gaps by adding equal number of cards on either side/top/bottom - easy to perfectly match the gaps, cheap and you can always play solitaire when you're done. Actually you could have a lot more fun with friends and Uno cards.
