Hejne

The IKEA crib that was used when my son was an infant (1999) was stored away after he’d outgrown it. Some of those crib parts were unfortunately misplaced during a move. Anyway, the mother of my second child has a back problem, and she asked me to make a crib which…

The history of this play structure project began while we were in lockdown here in Spain, back in May 2020. My name is Pedro and I’m the father of a three and a half year old boy: Bruno. After seeing how one of the safety measures to stop the pandemic…

With more time spent at home, I’ve started doing a bit more gardening. I’m so glad I hacked this DIY potting table over a year ago. It turned out so useful and my back will be ever grateful. Back story, I had an old HEJNE shelving unit which I was…

Here’s the crate bookshelf that I made just previous to the KNAGGLIG/ HEJNE magazine rack. IKEA products: Six (6) large KNAGGLIG crates Two (2) HEJNE shelves 30-3/8″ x 11″ One (1) EKET Base on Legs 13-3/8″ x 9-1/2″ The EKET Base on Legs appears to be discontinued, but never fear,…

I’m planning on buying a new shelf for my hallway, but I’m rather limited in both available space and financials, so IVAR is out of my limit. On the other hand, ALBERT, HYLLIS and HEJNE shelves are all suitable for me, but they are rather short. I want my shelf to be from 200 to 280 cm (78 – 110…

Art canvas storage and art supplies corner for an artist’s studio Since moving in to a new apartment a few months ago, I have not had a functional space to paint and to store canvas. My art supplies have been stored in tool boxes, my canvas has been leaning against…

One bathroom rack to catch all, including the litter box. Our bathroom cabinet storage is very limited, and I wanted a large piece that could hold everything. From the usual toiletry stuff to extra toilet paper, towels, plants, and even the kitty litter box for our cat, since the bathroom…

I was unable to find suitable adjustable wall mounted pantry shelving for my odd shaped space. I realized the HEJNE shelving could be ‘inverted’, if you will, from outside to inside support. Basically the posts are fixed to the wall of the pantry. Shelves are adjustable and support is perpendicular…

Joy hacked a height adjustable kid’s desk using the IKEA HEJNE system. Besides the desk, it also has plenty of shelves for toys and books. This is a simple desk set up that will grow with your kid. The HEJNE is also perfect for this project because it already has…

I created this hack for two reasons. It saves space by not having to store my bike trailer and I really thought it would look interesting to use the trailer as an end table. To use the bike trailer all I do is lift off the top and connect to…

When we just adopted our cat, he was a whopping 10.5kg, and as a result, big and clumsy. We could not find any cat trees on the market which could hold a cat of his weight. Since he is clumsy (for a cat), cat trees which required the agility and…

I wanted a corner shelf unit for my living room and HEJNE storage racks seems to be a good choice for it. But I did not want to just place 2 HEJNE racks at an angle to each other and call it a day, so I figured out how to turn…

You don’t like them. But you need them. We’re talking radiators. Unfortunately many radiators do not look good, especially older versions that may have seen better days. If you’re wondering how to make them blend a bit better with your home decor style, IKEA radiator cover hacks may be your…
