Ikea Besta shelf is perhaps the most practical storage system from the Swedish furniture manufacturer, which is particularly famous for its clever solutions for every area of the house. Ikea really pays a lot of attention to the smart storage and organization of accessories and things in the home and not without reason. The largest proportion of people live in large cities, where they have to contend with fewer square meters of space.
With this functional storage system, everything in the living room, and not only, can be organized practically and stylishly. Smaller versions of the smart modules can be transformed into great sideboards or chests of drawers for hallways and even bedrooms. The large range of cabinet fronts, from black and white to wood look and pastel colors to a showcase or open shelves, makes the wall shelf possible to use in any area and any living space. The simple storage planner offers the option to design and plan the modules online according to your own needs.
The simple, simple design of Besta makes it easy to combine it with other existing pieces of furniture and to spice it up or redesign it with little effort. You can find out which of the best DIY projects with this multi-faceted furniture are in the photo gallery.

Instead of mounting the shelf cabinet on the wall, these hobby craftsmen opted for wooden feet with a vintage flair. First the shelving unit was assembled. Then the surface was lightly smoothed with the sandpaper. The dark wood stain was applied with a sponge brush. Then the surface is wiped with a rag. Three coats guarantee the best results. With this technique it is important to adhere to the application instructions and drying times. This gives your piece of furniture a really nice retro look.

Fresh, modern patterns give boring-looking furniture a whole new look. With a little paint and a stencil, this visual makeover is easy to achieve. The stencil is glued to the front using spray adhesive or adhesive tape and the paint is applied over it. As soon as the paint has dried, the stencil simply needs to be removed again. To add a romantic touch to the furniture, you can use cake toppers or stencils with floral motifs. Geometric motifs such as zigzag patterns work well in modern designs.

If you place particular value on the design of your new shelf cabinet, you should get an overview of the many different types of furniture legs. Because shape, length and material significantly influence the appearance of the furniture. For example, the so-called hairpin legs were used in this project. The thin furniture feet are made of metal and are reminiscent of hairpins.
In addition to the furniture feet, handles and buttons can also play a crucial role in the overall look. These elements can be used to create effective accents. Colorful buttons can also add some color.
