Designing with the IKEA Book Case

July 22, 2016 By stylishrevamp 2 Comments

Last year I shared my IKEA Billy Book Case hack, which you can read about here.

StylishRevamp's IKEA Billy Book Case Hack

I am so happy with the way this piece turned out.  So much so, that I would like to do a similar version of it in my sitting room off the master bedroom. At the moment, I have a small but deep armoire that holds my television set and two club chairs in my sitting room.  This is where I normally hang out when I want to watch my mindless reality tv shows that pretty much annoy the males in this household.  It is a cozy little spot but I would like to give it a revamp.  So my hubs said once I come up with a design, he will work on it.

Designing with the IKEA Bookcase open up many decorating possibilities.

There are so many great IKEA Book Case Hacks out there, so I thought I would share a few here today that might work in my sitting room.

I love this design by AveryStreetDesign.com. You can click on the link for a complete tutorial. I really like the solid doors on the bottom with the glass front doors on the top. Fabulous! I would have to rework the top a bit to accommodate a small television.  I could leave a set of the glass door off in the center or leave the entire top shelves open.  Also, check out the lighting! I love this look from top to bottom!

 I found this Billy Book Case hack on Memorabledecor.com. I like the mix of the open and closed shelving on this Ikea hack.  I also like how the spacing of the shelves are different on the center book-case.  It adds a different dimension to the entire unit.  I think this would work well in my sitting room.

Lastly, I am sharing a Billy Book Case Hack from Southern Revivals.

Yet another favorite of mine! I like the mix of the large and smaller book cases and the large center opening. The options are limitless, that’s why I am a huge fan of all the book cases and shelves at IKEA.  You can easily customize them for a more personal taste.  I cannot wait to get started on this… I need to make a final decision and soon!

Until Next Time,
