Ikea's Kvartal - A super-easy bike rack

Materials: Kvartal Wall Fitting

Description: I love Ikea's Stolmen for building a bike rack, yet my current apartment required a different approach to store my roadbike. I needed a vertical rack.

I found my solution in Ikea's Kvartal. I bought two wall fittings for $4.99 each. Perfect for mounting curtains and bikes - Turn them up-side down and you get two hooks for the handle bar of your bike.

Before drilling, ensure that height and width match your bike. You don't want to drill twice.

It is not the most advanced hack around, yet it gets the job done perfectly.

Hi-tech desk frame , minimal art

Materials: KVARTAL bottom rail

Description: I was looking for a stylish, hi-tech frame that fits to interiors with minimum design. I don't think a frame could be more simple than this one:

1. Take the 45cm KVARTAL bottom rail and cut it in two pieces

2. Have your picture mounted on the back of a 4mm glass (make sure the edges are curved to avoid injuries)

3. Insert the glass to the slot of the KVARTAL rail - no glueing is necessary

4. Use two 3mm screws as a support on the back - the holes are already there!

Simple, is not it?

You might want to play around with the longer alternatives of the KVARTAL rail as well.

Enjoy.
