Where do you use IKEA Algot furniture?
In the dressing roomIn the corridor
Algot from Ikea is a multifunctional compact storage system. Used for dressing rooms, storage rooms, bedrooms, hallways, children's rooms. An online designer will help you create a combination and calculate it.
The ALGOT storage system is needed in every home.
No matter what kind of room you need to decorate, you are sure to find exactly what you are looking for in it. In addition to the variety of element options, its huge and undeniable advantage is the ease of change. That is, if you have equipped your pantry with the ALGOT system, and then you have a large box, you can find a place for it in a few minutes without using tools.
Wonderful, isn't it?
Although this series was originally intended for arranging pantries and dressing rooms, the places of use are limited only by your imagination and storage needs.
Metal shelves are not afraid of high humidity, so they are perfect for organizing storage in the bathroom, on the balcony or in the garage.
In addition to the utilitarian component, the ALGOT system fits perfectly into the aesthetics of the Scandinavian style, so it can be found in living rooms and for organizing a workplace (and a very comfortable one at that!)
To install shelves, you need to decide on the size of the wall. Leave 3-4 centimeters around the edges and count how many sections will fit.
The width of shelves and other modules is 40, 60 and 80 cm. Please note that some elements (for example, a dryer or shoe module) come in only one size - 60 cm.
First of all, a horizontal mounting strip is drilled into the wall, then vertical rails are drilled at a distance of 40, 60 or 80 cm. They have grooves into which consoles for various elements will be inserted.
If you are arranging an attic room or space under the stairs, please note that the tires come in three height sizes - 56, 84 and 194 cm. This is convenient if the system needs to occupy only part of the wall.
Consoles are attached to the tires - they come in three types of depth - 18 cm, 38 cm and 58 cm. A plug is attached to the console, which will hide the attachment point and give the shelf a neat look.
Install the consoles at the desired height, and then simply choose what kind of things you plan to store and what you need for this - containers, rods, hooks, baskets or just shelves.
The shelves themselves come in two types - made of chipboard or metal with perforation (they can be used in the bathroom, garage or on the balcony)
the finished combination can be supplemented with hooks or a hanger:
Here's a fun and clear video about how it's all installed:
If you don’t want to check the walls, you can use frames with baskets or use a special rack to place the shelves away from the wall
In addition, the ALGOT storage system is perfectly combined with pegboards, which solves the issue of organizing the storage of small items.

Helpful installation tips
The IKEA Algot wardrobe will last a long time and will fit well into the interior, if you take into account some nuances:
- The method of fastening the vertical rail and horizontal fastening strips for shelves depends on the materials from which the wall is made. For wood, simple self-tapping screws are used. For drywall and concrete, you will have to use special plastic dowels so that the screws sit firmly and do not fall out.
- When attaching tires, it is important to take into account the dimensions of the objects that will be installed on them.
- Each wall strip adds 2.6 cm to the width of the structure, which is important to consider when planning a dressing room.
- The developers recommend drawing a room on paper in advance indicating the exact dimensions, including the walls where there are windows and doors. It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of opening the latter.
- Information in the catalog on the company’s website will help you draw up a drawing, but you can use the help of store consultants in matters of assembling and combining objects.
Customer reviews indicate that the designer from IKEA performs well in operation.

Ikea Algot for arranging a dressing room
Step-by-step instruction:
- We attach the horizontal guides. They will hold the bulk of the weight. We screw it in thoroughly and check its reliability.
- The vertical tires go down. We install to the walls. If necessary, we cut off a part, adjusting the required length.
- We attach holders for shelves, baskets or side consoles. First remove the decorative plugs. We will return it after installation work has been completed. The holders are simply inserted into the vertical bars and snap into place.
Users prefer metal shelves. They are lighter in weight, have rounded corners, and are highly durable.
