This time, a creative couple from Sweden took their living room game to an entirely new level using IKEA METOD frames and BODBYN doors. If you're a fan of nifty hacks and making the most of your space, you'll love this amazing transformation.

We all know that feeling of wanting to spruce up our living rooms. You know, the one – where you look around and can't help but feel the space needs a little facelift. Well, that's exactly what our Swede couple felt when they glanced at their simple, functional, but oh-so-bare living room walls.

Enter IKEA METOD frames and BODBYN doors – typically found in kitchens. So, what inspired them to repurpose these items in their living room?

It was about creating a more functional, versatile, and personalized space. After extensive research and planning, they decided to use these IKEA gems in a never-seen-before way to create living room built-ins.

Their first step was to source the IKEA METOD frames and BODBYN doors – popular products with affordable price tags. They chose BODBYN doors for their elegant shaker style that provides a timeless, classic, yet contemporary look.

Next, they measured and planned the layout of their built-ins. The idea was to create floor-to-ceiling storage on one wall, including open and closed shelves. Precision was key – after all, an inch can make a difference in the DIY world!

Armed with their carefully calculated plan, the couple assembled the METOD frames, modified them as needed, and attached them to the wall using IKEA suspension rails. They secured the BODBYN doors to the frames, creating stylish built-ins that now boast both practicality and aesthetics.

Can we take a moment to appreciate their ingenuity in turning ordinary kitchen pieces into stunning focal points for their living room?

Now came the fun part – adding their personal touch. They carefully curated the closed and open shelves to showcase their favorite books, plant babies, and trinkets while storing those less-pleasing-to-the-eye items behind the elegant BODBYN doors.

So, what do we think of this Swede couple's creative venture? We're nothing short of impressed! By daring to think outside the box and giving good ol' IKEA METOD frames and BODBYN doors a go, Jonas and Sofia now have a living room that's functional, welcoming, and uniquely their own.
