Kids clothes rack in one easy addition to IVAR

It’s a wonder how much space a little bundle of human takes up. Here’s an easy way to add a kids clothes rack to the IVAR shelving unit and still have plenty of room to store toys, books and kids stuff.

It’s not always easy to fit a full-sized kids wardrobe into the room. Which is why this hack works so well! It takes up no additional space.

How to add a kids clothes rack to IKEA IVAR

First thing is to assemble the IVAR shelving unit, leaving space for hanging clothes.

Then, hang the IVAR hooks on the shelf, I did not screw them in. They are quite a snug fit.

Hook

My plan was to hang the clothes rod beneath the shorter IVAR shelf. If you place it on the larger IVAR shelf you probably need 3 hooks or the wood dowel may bend.

Next, measure and cut the wood dowel to fit the space.

Rod

To ensure a snug fit, I put a little piece of cardboard on each hook.

Lastly, insert the wood dowel and hang the little dresses!

It is a simple and totally reversible little hack. When your little one grows up a little you can simply move the kids clothes rack to a higher shelf.
