- How to assemble such a rack correctly
Lego for adults. This is exactly how Ikea furniture is positioned. You will have to assemble Renshare yourself. But there's nothing wrong with that. We follow the step-by-step instructions in pictures. In addition to the main parts, the set includes a mounting accessory for fixing the rack to the wall.
Step-by-step instructions for assembling Renshare:
- We connect the main side posts together with a horizontal crossbar. Immediately screw it all the way.
- We insert a strip with metal rods that serves as the back wall. We screw it in 6 places to the side posts.
- Screw in the legs. We place the rack vertically and check its stability. We regulate.
- We screw the horizontal crossbars to secure the shelves.
- We install shelves.
The shelves on the rack are not fixed. They fold out from above. Therefore, we install it after fixing the frame in a permanent place.
Bookcase for children's room
There is constant chaos here, toys and books are scattered, things are out of place. With the purchase of a rack for the children's room, storage can be organized easily and quickly. A rack with toy boxes will accommodate all the cars and dolls. Books will be placed on the shelves one after another.
Things can also be neatly folded into a basket or box and placed in one of the niches of the rack. It is recommended to purchase several storage sections at once, which are installed vertically or horizontally. Be sure to attach them to the floor and walls.
Changing shelf positions
One of the features of Ikea furniture that immediately identifies the manufacturer is the design of the shelving. This company gravitates towards correct square proportions.
To get rid of this effect, it is enough to split the structure into two parts during assembly. Thus, the apartment owner will immediately receive two new pieces of furniture that will look quite original and stylish.

We equip the kitchen with shelving
In a spacious kitchen, it is worth placing a wide rack to store everything you need: from spices to dishes and household items.
More compact options are more suitable for small kitchen spaces. But they are also functional and no less spacious. It is also worth using baskets and storage boxes.
Rack in the bathroom
It is advisable to place a metal rack here. Unfortunately, wood is very susceptible to moisture and temperature changes.
Therefore, a structure made of stainless steel is ideal for a bath or shower. It is worth placing not only bath accessories, but also laundry detergents and towels.
Furniture remodeling
To avoid the problem of a typical interior, you can try covering the surface of the furniture with wallpaper or self-adhesive tape, and painting individual shelves and cabinets.
You can also use the metal rack itself for other purposes, for example, turn it over or hang individual components on the walls in the form of decorative shelves.
Bedrooms with furniture from Ikea
The best places to store things are bedroom shelving. They can easily accommodate boxes of linens, boxes of magazines, and framed photos of any size. At the top of the rack it is worth placing a mechanical or electronic clock.
Decorative figurines will look no less beautiful on the shelves in the bedroom, and it is recommended to place cosmetics and perfumes in the lower part in acrylic containers.
Changing the position of furniture
To avoid typicality and banality in interior design using an Ikea shelving unit, it is enough to simply arrange it differently from the way it is intended, according to the standard assembly.
It is not necessary to install the assembled structure strictly on the floor near the wall.
You can experiment with design solutions and hang the structure on the wall (sometimes partially disassembled so that it does not seem so bulky).
Rack Albert
It is created from natural pine. This is a very durable and wear-resistant wood species. The rack is presented in a natural, untreated version, suitable for painting, varnishing or other type of finishing (pasting with decorative film).
Looks great in any type of interior. In its natural form, it is convenient for use in pantries and closets as a place to store things, preparations, vegetables, and utensils.
Application in the interior
There are a lot of options for using Renshare shelving from Ikea in the interior. The bookcase looks light and airy in large rooms. But it also helps save space. The depth of the corner version is only 37 cm. A low shelving unit is often installed under the sink instead of a closed cabinet. You also need to choose a place to install other shelving from Ikea: Hemnes, Expedit and others.
Renshare doesn’t mind settling in the hallway, taking the place of a shoe shelf, a rack for storing various accessories - bags, umbrellas, combs. There is also a place for it on the loggia or balcony. But most often the main location area is the bathroom. We offer options for interesting interior solutions.
Corner and shortened versions of Renshare shelving from Ikea
Rack Kallax
Simple and convenient, as well as multifunctional. It can be placed both vertically and horizontally, and entire storage systems can be built from it. Kallax is attached to the floor or wall. When horizontal, it is decorated with pillows, turning into a banquette.
Having a large number of niches for storage, it is often used in a vertical form. Drawers or devices with doors are built inside, which can also be purchased at Ikea.
Kallax fits perfectly into the hallway and can serve both as a wardrobe and a shoe rack, a place to store gloves, hats, scarves, and umbrellas. In the living room, this shelving unit can play the role of a sideboard. Moreover, it must be placed in a vertical position and securely secured.
The Kallax shelving unit is quite easy to use for zoning the space of a walk-through room. Using this design, you can differentiate between work and recreation areas in a huge living room or bedroom.
For greater convenience, garlands or lamps for illumination are built into such a rack if the structure is located in the pantry.
In addition, a TV is installed on the Kallax rack. Thus, the design serves as a convenient stand with sections for storage. In this case, Collax must be installed horizontally.
Shift of emphasis
To make the design of the shelving less noticeable, it is enough to match it with the wall near which it will be located. You just need to adhere to a simple principle: white on white, black on black.
Thus, the furniture will simply disappear against the background of the wall, especially if the filling of the shelves is bright enough to attract the views of others.
Bally rack
This is a variation of the white Ikea shelving unit. Its shelves are quite wide and are suitable for books, dishes, magazines, decorative items, and supplies for creative workshops.
The shelves are removable. They are easy to install at any level. A white shelving unit fits perfectly into the kitchen and bedroom space if the interior is made in pastel or dark colors. Bally is complemented by storage boxes or specialized structures with doors.
The Bali rack began to be produced at Ikea factories more than 40 years ago, and almost immediately this design gained immense popularity among a wide range of customers.
If you consider that Ikea products are distributed all over the world, you can imagine the sales volume of this particular model.
Bally comes in a variety of colors and designs, but white designs are the most in demand. This rack is used in all types of interiors, residential and office spaces.
