Today\u2019s Ikea hack puts storage right where you need it: tucked away in your bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>Using some Ikea drawer, you can create a super low-cost storage solution to stow away your ugly Christmas sweater, the teddy bears your ex gave you, or the snuggie you won\u2019t admit that you own.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0The parts. You&#8217;ll need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/ca\/en\/catalog\/products\/75305709\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rast<\/a> chest of drawers \u2013 $49.99<\/li>\n<li>Stick-on felt pads<\/li>\n<li>Paint<\/li>\n<li>Paintbrushes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People, this one is really easy. Basically, you\u2019re buying the Rast chest for the 3 drawers that are in it. By the way, this hack works best if your bed is pushed up against a wall, and especially if it is on a raised frame with at least 12\u201d of clearance below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Here\u2019s the deal. You\u2019re going to remove the three drawers from the Rast chest and paint them the colour of your choice. Let dry. If you want to go really crazy, replace the handles with something cool, like <\/span><span class=\"Hyperlink0\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anthropologie.com\/anthro\/product\/home-hardware-knobs\/32513624.jsp#\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: blue;\">these<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> or <\/span><span class=\"Hyperlink0\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anthropologie.com\/anthro\/product\/home-hardware-knobs\/37733516.jsp?color=004#\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: blue;\">these<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Now, apply the felt pads to five spots on each drawer that you\u2019re going to use under your bed. Two on the bottom of the drawer front, and three along the back bottom edge of the drawer. This is going to protect your floor from getting scratched.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Just fill your drawers with any junk that didn\u2019t fit elsewhere, and slide under the bed!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Source: <\/span><span class=\"Hyperlink1\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeahackers.net\/2015\/03\/dresser-bed-drawers.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: blue;\">Ikea Hackers<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Storage is hard to come by in your Toronto apartment, so making storage where there &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":2575,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"coauthors":[220],"class_list":["post-2574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diy-life-hacks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Awesome Ikea Hack of the Week: A cheap bed frame with storage<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-a-cheap-bed-frame-with-storage\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"TorontoRentals.com Blog\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-a-cheap-bed-frame-with-storage#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-a-cheap-bed-frame-with-storage\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"TorontoRentals.com Blog\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/53503b1c0fd1a6bc186b273abbee8d44\"},\"headline\":\"Awesome Ikea Hack of the Week: A cheap bed frame with storage\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-10-05T18:45:08+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-10-13T19:09:42+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-a-cheap-bed-frame-with-storage\"},\"wordCount\":264,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-a-cheap-bed-frame-with-storage#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bed-frame-hack.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"DIY &amp;
