IKEA Square metre challenge part 1: Tiny bedroom for two
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ต.ค. 2016
- We challenged ourselves to make a tiny bedroom for two because more people are moving to cities and renting small apartments. In part 1 of the series, we show how multfunctional, moveable and layered solutions help create smart storage and open floor space. We even made a platform bed using kitchen cabinets for tons of storage.

so many people are complaining about how this is function over style and i cannot help but realise many of us are extremely, extremely privileged.
That part 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
They must’ve forgot that this is only 9.5 square meters
I like it I love storage and stuff that comes with storage!
prolly whites
@@merrillgeorge1838 hurrr america bad. If you're gonna be obsessed with us, then at least try to be original for once.
I want a full feature film with this couple and their fight to stay together by organizing
that i would watch
I want a KonMari death match
-dying- my gf would’ve screamed at this because same.

Lol at everyone complaining. This is a mock up, if you and your partner rented a room like this, with not much space to add storage aroubd the house, this is a pretty good solution. Plus, its only to give you ideas, if you'd prefer things differently, just do them differently.
@@lukasstupuras1693 It's just a bedroom, not the full apartment.
@@lvx969 lots of people share apartments and only have a room to store their possessions. it's very common in large cities, couples included
nope, it look like a warehouse
@@lukasstupuras1693 they're renting a bedroom not a whole apartment. they have room mates
@@lvx969 there are apartments this size all over France LOL and not cheap if in Paris for example.
still bigger than my bedroom
Kyraaa 😪😓same
Agree
Same
Same....

That bed was as big as my room
It's a good thing you left prison. Hope it wasn't for a serious crime.
Eternal Sunset hahaha i still here
That's terrible. you need to upgrade the cupboard you call a room.
its not that small tho, when you live in london flats u get used to, its just not the biggest room even but it nice, i live on the last floor nd i can see the whole city of london, i live near the shard so its kind of nice my prison :) haha
Sahara Silver i swear i'm looking at small bedroom make overs and these rooms are hella big 😂😂 #London
They put a tray with drinks on a drawer that holds a laptop and it made me nervous lol
Those kinda circumstances will make them knocked off the bottle then spill out drinks on a laptop someday, even the most careful one. Definitely that day will come. . .
Me too
You need help

"and they were really good friends"
"omg, they were roommates"
I didnt even realize😂
LOL!!!!!!!!
I mean it does say “for a young couple” in the video
@@ht1ps555 couple of roomates ;)
i have no idea what people are yapping about in the comment section...This was well thought out and executed. great job
people just love to complain, that's all lol
Just one question: Do you really think people who can only afford to rent a tiny appartment like that will be able to afford a whole ass kitchen island just for storage?
@@lucia-mariap.9274 yes. An island is way cheaper than rent.
@@NachaBeez I'm talking about who have to rent out such a small space. If they can't afford anything bigger surely they won't be able to buy an kitchen island.
@@lucia-mariap.9274 In cities like Toronto or NYC you pay a lot for a space that small
I actually love this room. It’s small but functional and cozy. Doesn’t look messy to me at all ❤️
That room looks cosy and those are good ideas :)
Luna - That room looks cluttered and stressful and if i were to judge that room i’d say that only a couple of hoarders were gonna need that much storage. But it’s understandable, they had a lot of tips for storage and decided to put it in the same video which wasn’t a great idea but i forgive them lmao.
C the video was just to give you ideas on how you can store items in a smallish room
C everyone has their own style
you really have a very twisted understanding of coziness
Ikea never fails to give me so many ideas for small-space living!
They actually did a really good job in designing this. An emphasis on function
Greaat use of space! Now if only I could afford everything mentioned...
Do It yourself
Leaving so many things uncovered to collect dust is really not for me
Dust cover?
Who would clean that?
Imagine the work to clean the dust...
Thank you
Makes it look cluttered and busy,, sensory overload
Okay but I have just one problem... The whole setup looks nice and everything, but you are expecting someone who can afford a broom closet sized apartment to buy a whole kitchen island?
Zach K I think if someone were to actually do this they would probably put a dresser underneath the bed. They could have also used old cabinets that were being sold second-hand or built their own.
Broom sided closets can be really expensive depending on where you live
Anyone living in a big city with a housing crisis ?
This is just a reference for you to follow, you can substitute everything here with cheaper options.
That does make sense but I could see myself buying a small house to be smart like this
It is a fair-sized room, and it looks like a crowded mess.
Agree. Promoting that you need "tons of storage space" - um, no you don't. Don't accumulate so much stuff.
I think the goal was to maximize space in a city apartment like new york city. However rollable areas for storage is also space you can't use of have to leave open. I think a much better option would be a rollable bed frame with mass storage underneath.
A. GM well, they also don’t have a closet so that causes more clutter
Jamie Z You can easily remove the storage, the point is to offer options. No need to be so judgey.
My bedroom in my apartment is this size and not as confused but I'm single so maybe that helps?
I love the idea of building a bed with kitchen cabinet. I’m looking to renovate my tiny bedroom and hoping to include more storage space beneath my bed and this should work pretty well for me! The only question is how the inner side of the bed was built? I think a single row of kitchen cabinet would not be big enough to accommodate 2 persons on it.
Buy lengths of smooth wood about 1'' by 3'' and cut to size of the mattress and lay over the top of the cabinets to support the mattress over the space in the middle (which you can use for items seldom used such as suit cases, out of season clothing etc). There are a number of TH-cam videos showing how to make a bed using kitchen cabinets from Ikea, one of many hacks using Ikea items.
Entire personal time at home will be spent in arranging and rearranging , folding and unfolding, packing and unpacking stuff
So then why dont you live with all your belongs on the floor? Or live in a huge mansion. Silly person... Putting things away is how you keep small places clean
Dont like the movable shelf, the bed should be fully flushed against the wall.
Loose a lot of space Tharp way
Well.. the bed should never touch the walll completely. Not when you are sharing it.
MadGirl BitchingBoutStuffs I think they meant the head of the bed, not the side
MadGirl BitchingBoutStuffs why not?
@@XPrincess30 Noise complaints
Rip for the one who's gonna fall from that huge bed .
Well, I've never fallen from my bed so I might as well just take my chances.
No one:
TH-cam: wanna see an ikea bedroom?
y’all really made me cry when i saw the ‘couple’. thank u
this is exactly what i needed??? we share a tiny bedroom and honestly maybe a small bunk bed with cabinets and drawer stairs would be a good idea for us as well. thank you!

Ikea: SHELF ON WHEEL
With a room that small I'd just sleep on the floor lol with a bamboo mat , and wear the same clothes until I saved enough money to move out.
Some people live and work in crowded cities where eve if you save you can only live in tjny spaces.
Seeing that made my night lol and my day. Thank you.
If it's San Francisco, then that would be never.
Lol
I love your thinking!
LOL! I'd be f*cking grateful if I had an apartment like this. Not even small.
they probably are. rent is expensive man, it sucks (depending where you rent of course)
I loved the movable furniture idea and the projector idea.
And this is why I love you Ikea! Greetings from Romania!
Love IKEA, especially organizing products and ideas. Please IKEA, amaze me one more time! I'm struggling for the past four years in a tiny crew cabin, onboard a cruise ship. We are divided 2 in each cabin, having bunk beds, one desk, tight closet and metal walls (not allowed to destroy them with fixing the new furniture on) super small bathroom. Make a video on how to organize clothes, shoes, uniforms, suitcases, cosmetics and all the other stuff we use and need during six months contract.
And please provide us with more magnetic hooks and organizers 😁😁😁
I loved in a bedroom that was the size of a queen size bed and room for a PC tower as an end table but no real foot room. I mounted verticals bars on the wall, hooked some shelves on the bars and put my computer screen, keyboard, and beta fish on it. It was very tight but functional. I’d love to have dresser-like storage under my current bed. That would make it a world of difference. My dresser is in another room of the house right now.
The thing is the clothing will make everything look terrible, you guys/gals put clothes that match the room palette, some people have a neon pink shirts right beside a navy blue shirt and a swamp green tee to bring it all together, but the room palette is all pastel colours (yes I'm Canadian) that is the one big flaw with your design that I have.
@WakinTheDeadFan how can you live when your socks don't match your bedroom curtains? I expected you, of all people, would understand the importance of color coordination better than the average plebs, Mycroft. Disappointed.
Go for an everything black wardrobe, thank me later when your life becomes 10 times better
@@vp3841 xD "plebs"
@Jennifer Medina sound kind of stressful to put everything on two places :/ I have everything in one place expect socks that are in a seperate drawyer... everything else is too much overthinking for me. Of course to each their own, I just think many people who buy these open ikea-racks end up unhappy about that thing.
It will look bad. You are correct. A friend of mine bought a house, gutted it and turned the upstairs into a single bedroom. Probably 12 feet by let's say 25. There is no closet. Almost everything is hung, there is 1 dresser. It's as if you just put a bed in a really large walk in closet. She's about to add even more racks to hang more clothes. It was a really clean, huge space, and now it looks super cluttered and always messy and she loves to be able to see it all. My eyes just bug out when I see it.
It would be great to have a roll out closet under your bed, please design that and sell it in ikea, I have a 6 square meter room😅
IKEA you are so precious💕 way to show you're support for lgbtq+ !❤️
this is wrong on so many levels. See, IKEA says that lesbians not deserve any personal space. or even worse, IKEA message was: lesbians too lazy to have a regular work to afford normal house.
@@HuAwei-eq4cq But hetero couples can't always afford more either.. My opinion is that in this case the show of solidarity outweighs the possibility of misinterpretation :)

@@HuAwei-eq4cq when tf did they say that 😭 lmaoo
I'm shook at the idea of kitchen cabinets as the base of the bed.
THANK YOU! Finally an actually small bedroom!!!!
I find a desk more important than the storage area behind the bed. I would put the bed facing the door (a bed with storage underneath but not so high, it looks like an altar), the clothes hanger is well in place and I would put more storage under it, finally a desk for 2 people from the mirror towards the window (unfortunately the heating will cause problems when putting a desk against the wall). Another option is a functional cabin: bed on the upper level and a free space below for a clothes hanger and on the other side a good desk to work or hang out (in my case it wouldn't work because I have a pet and I like it to sleep in my bed)
9.5 square meters!? The apartment that I can afford in Japan that I’ll hopefully be moving to is only 8 square meters...for the WHOLE HOUSE!!!
It's 9.5? Wtf, thats huge
Do you still got bed ?
I think I could’ve done this differently. All the clothes hanging on the walls and on racks would make it feel cluttered. Use the space under the bed for all the clothes. Idk why they needed a kitchen island when beds with drawers underneath already exist.
I LOVE IT! THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION. HAPPY PLANNING!
That roller blind idea is so good!
That bed is such a good idea i’m probably gonna do that for my next room no matter the size
I wish someone would come organise my bedroom like that. Amazing!
I wish Ikea made this an actual competition, like where actual people get to actually compete. I’d EAT this. 😌😎
Great video - but I am confused about using those kitchen cabinets to make a bed. Ok - the kitchen cabinets that were used in this video was: METOD (please correct me if I am wrong) ... did they have to put two cabinets together to make it a double bed? which kitchen cabinet from IKEA's portfolio was used for the other side of the bed that's against the wall? Also, is there a mattress recommendation for this type of a bed? Thanks!
I’d love another video like this with room for a study desk
Rewatching now that i am in a bedroom even smaller than this. They should have added doors to all the storage furnitures, then it would look way less cluttered, and the room would feel bigger.
I like these tips. Thank you! I enjoy this content a lot!
“And they were roommates”
-some random vine.
Exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you for making home a better place through design
A roll-out cutting board would be perfect for a bedside table. :) Also, how did you prevent the bed from slipping off of that kitchen island counter?
Velcro on both sides
Nice layout!! I would add a mini headboard tho to either the shelving unit or bolted to the bed itself bc otherwise pillows just fall through
I like the end result.
Anyone living there would need to really cut down to the most essential, multifunctional pieces of clothing as well as becoming extremely organized.
Without that I don’t think it would work.
I love this!! #equality👭👬
Between whom?
I love to see two girls happily together💖
those drawers under the bed are always a great idea.
My room is rectangular and barely 8 square meters. I have managed to find space for a single bed, 8 shelves, a dresser, a desk, a laundry hamper a stereo and a flatscreen tv + DVD.
I hate the size of my room so much. It always looks messy. But I'd rather have my room than that one, even though mine is smaller.
Noah Casper WOOooOw
my room barely fits my single bed, a desk and my chair.....
my closet is built into the wall so it doesnt take up space that much (luckily)
@WakinTheDeadFan They would probably still have to lose their security deposit when all that double-sided tape messes up the paint.
I love everything about this
great wanna use this idea
so great when you work with a room that can be slightly adjusted to just the right size
Cool Ideas. Would you be kind enough to let me know which bed frame you have used on top of those Metod cabinets?
I never realised this until this moment that they were a couple.

I dare ikea to make a 25 square meters work. That includes a cooking-corner, someplace to eat, sleep and work on the computer.
this is perfect the doors place and window same with my room. thankyou
I like it I love storage and stuff that comes with storage! And I'm an American
Function with no style. It's cluttered and uncomfortable to me.
i feel the same
Everything comes at a price
@MsSunhappy I'm semi minimalist myself, so I get what you're saying about random décor, just to fill empty spaces. But I can't relax if I have to sleep in a room where all my cloths staring me down because they're posted on the walls. or a bunch of containers, with stuff, is all there is to the space. I love ikea stuff but they need to find a better design team, because the ones they have now are not making their products look appealing. at least not to me.
It's really stressing me out seeing that much stuff. I live in a small house and my room is pretty small but I still managed to do a good jib hiding things
Exactly! and Ikea has nice stuff but this video is acting like a 99 cents store (99 cent stores have good stuff to though but...) @@mammacookie7533
There are some good ideas here but I think better is possible. If I had this size of room for 2, I would probably opt for bunk beds or a fold-down wall bed. The limitation of not drilling any holes makes things more difficult. If possible, I would at least try to install some upper wall shelves and use the height of the room as much as possible. The cabinets under the bed are nice and putting wheels on things does add alot of versatility, but that cart by the bed looks messy and feels awkwardly shaped. For that location, I would make it shorter (in length) and go taller. Perhaps if it had some cabinet doors on the end, it would give the room a cleaner look. Finally, the shirt racks need some kind of covering. I've seen stand-alone closets at IKEA that are more what I'm thinking. BTW, what are the actual dimensions of this room?
The room is 9.5m² so I would have probably said 3082cm x 3082cm
they said it's a couple so a couple would prefer one bed instead of two.
That was so amazing!
love this. i stay in a 10-12 sqm space n thinking how to maximize the space usage
So cute that you guys think that this is a tiny bedroom. My bedroom the bed fits just about in there, its wall to wall.
I need to know what’s the style of the bed! Equipment list or a link would be nice 😭😭😭
Its a METOD kitchen cabinet mentioned in the video at 0:20
That was perfect... I'm inspired 😍
Beautiful IKEA! 🥰
Can you guys do a studio ~400 sqft apartment next? :)
I’d just sleep on the couch🤷🏻♀️
I actually do. I got rid of my bed and bought a chaise lounge.
Nice try but where are the Galvanized Steel Square Beams? And the environmentally friendly wood Veneer?
This is literally amazing tysm yall
HA HA HA in the reality , the room would be full of clothes 😂
Too cluttered, people want the room to also look nice not to look full of stuff
I kinda like tighter spaces.
in the socio-economic era we live in, aesthetic preferences sometimes have to be cast aside for functionality and opportunity
What a privileged thing to say. This is still so much bigger than the average apartment in eastern Asian cities. THOSE are tiny. Some people can’t afford space.
It's seems like you are from a first world country
@@Annabeth26 I'd say there aren't even space to afford XD
Impractical. Anyone who's actually lived in that small a space can tell you this can be done way better.
Now could we please have a single room which is about 1.5m x 2m in size (mine is actually about this size) as ideas would be great. Currently I store under the bed, on the bottom of the bed (baskets which can easily be removed to change the bedding), on the walls - using strong double sided gel tape and hooks - and I removed the door and replaced it with a curtain rod which holds a curtain for privacy but also all my dresses which need to be hung up. And I have plywood over boxes containing little used items which makes shelving for make=up and accessories etc as well as books, bedside table for water, tablet etc.
I get that not everyone can have space, but if it comes down to using kitchen islands as a bed, I think it's time to look over everything you own and decide if you really need it.
We love the LGBTQ+ representation! Keep it up IKEA!!!
Love how you call that small, I can barely fit a single bed in mine
I actually love this
When your the youngest child so you get a room half the size of this
I-
This hits deep. Its litteraly me.
I really like this idea! But what about ventilation for the matress? You will get mold if you sleep on a matress with cabinets straight underneath it.
Actually IKEA do a mattress that has an air gap in the middle.
Perhaps have a mini dehumidifier in the room?
That room is pretty decently sized tbh, the only issue is that it doesn’t have a closet so there’s no place to put clothes at. My childhood bedroom was 3x2 meters (so 6 sq meters) but on one of the 2m long walls there was a built in closet floor to ceiling. However that left me with just a bed and not much more space for literally any other furniture, but it had plenty of storage (too much just for my personal stuff actually) and it was clean and it had a large window with plenty of natural light.
This came out 4 years ago and I'm just hearing about this it's so cute
That unit behind the bed is a mistake. Makes it seem cluttered. Some floating shelves above it maybe , yes. And floor to ceiling slim wardrobes alway looks better than clothes on rails. They're cheap to make & customise to your own spec.
floating shelves create holes
Anybody knows what software they use to made that animated room design?
Probably not the software they used, but Sketchup is useful for visualizing layout
@@C7y323 thanks
Don't know if you're still looking but of SketchUp didn't work for you, you can also try floorplanner.com
This is called "living in NYC". WELCOME TO MY LIFE. 🤣❤ (I love it though).
Thanks god I've got big bedroom and even share it with my brother
From above that room looks like a hot mess. How about just getting rid of alot of that crap and go minimalist? I couldn't breathe in a room like that. Closterphobia city.
It's called claustrophobia first of all
@@SASKIYEAAAAAH bone apple teeth
OMG wait they're lesbians! Thank you, some representation without making it a big deal. 😊😊

The dorm room I used to live in while in college was almost 3/4th of this room and I had to share that with 2 other people.
Thats. Awesome. Honestly.
This is way bigger than my room
Anybody knows the name of the storage behind the bed?

It actually looks really good
Would be nice to know what dimensions you were working with on the room.
