IKEA Kitchen Island Hack

So I haven’t posted in a really long time, a fact that needs to be remedied immediately (: I’d like to show you a really practical and inexpensive way to create a small functional kitchen island.

You will need:

• Kallax 4*4 77 cm* 77 cm shelving unit
• Kallax Insert with door
• Kallax Insert with 2 drawers
• Vinnaset Door Knobs
• Bagganas Handles – Optional

In addition, you’ll need – 4 round cabinet feet, 4 L-shaped metal brackets, contact paper of your liking, and one Formica laminate countertop – I bought a 60*85*16.5 cm panel online (custom made- cost about 25 US dollars).

Instructions –

First, put together the Kallax shelving unit. Next add the contact paper to the sides of the unit and the door insert. Add door knobs to the drawer inserts. Add both to the Kallax. Attach the custom countertop to the Kallax unit using L brackets. finally, flip the unit and insert the round cabinet feet. If you’d like, you can add on the sides two Bagganas handles for kitchen towels.

So, what do you think? I’d love to hear your comments!
