Our all-rounder in the children's room: The IKEA KALLAX is an integral part of almost every home. We show you how versatile the shelf is and have summarised the best IKEA KALLAX hacks.
1. Organisation create in the KALLAX shelf - 4 ideas
- Document tray: A document tray for the KALLAX cube is ideal for storing paper, craft materials or school documents neatly and within easy reach. IKEA has some that fit perfectly into the shelf.
- KALLAX insert: With a KALLAX insert from IKEA, open compartments can be sensibly divided so that toys, books or small items can be neatly organised.
- KALLAX door: IKEA KALLAX doors create a calm overall look in the children's room and hide things that should not be constantly visible.
- TROFIX Insert: Our TROFIX insert makes it possible to use the practical TROFAST boxes in the KALLAX, creating flexible, child's play organisation in everyday life. Best of all, you can customise the TROFAST boxes to your taste with our custom-fit foils!

Get really creative with Cornelia's KALLAX idea for the children's room: she has converted the 2×2 shelf into a play table with a reversible lid using our customisable adhesive foils.
What you need:
- the IKEA KALLAX
- two matching boards (77×77 cm)
- Cordless screwdriver and screws
- two Limmaland foils (suitable for the LACK table)
The two boards will be the base and top of your new play table. You can easily get these from a DIY store. Screw down the plate for the base. Cover both sides of the lid with playing surface. Our foils for the IKEA Lack table are best suited for this, as they are also square.
