Types of racks
IKEA produces quite a few different types of Kallax series racks, which can be divided into three groups:
- classic
- isolated
- hanging
Classic shelving, which is installed under the wall, is equipped with cabinets, open shelves and shelves with drawers.
This type of shelving is perfect for any room, and cabinets and drawers are great for hiding small items.
Separate shelving, which can be installed in the middle of the room, is equipped with open shelves, this is necessary so that there is access to things from any side.
Such racks are often used for zoning space, with the help of which you can separate the work area from the relaxation area.
Hanging racks, just like classic ones, are equipped with cabinets and drawers. Such racks are ideal for small rooms that are filled with other furniture, since their fastenings allow you to hang the rack above a table or cabinet.
This is especially true in the kitchen.
Let’s try out what this “many-faced” CALLAX shelving unit can do in the interior
With furniture from IKEA, all the disadvantages of globalization are felt like no other. So, you can easily find your favorite home shelving unit in the interior of a cafe, in the living room or in the kitchen of friends. Exactly the same color, with absolutely the same shelves and inserts. But believe me, this is not a reason to be upset; a few decorative techniques will help you unique the most popular IKEA shelving unit of the KALLAX series. These tricks will not require titanic efforts from you and will save your room from the unpleasant “like everyone else” effect.
But first, a few words about the subject of conversation. The flagship of IKEA "Kallax" - a rack, despite its youth, is legendary in its own way. Designers all over the world love it, using it in different capacities - from a storage system to a mobile partition, and in different places - from a dressing room to a bedroom. At the same time, the Kallax series racks are champions in customization: they are painted, painted, wallpapered, turned over, placed on the floor, hung on the walls, etc. Let's see what these racks are capable of in the interior.

Change baskets!
What does IKEA shelving stand out in the interior? Filling! All these baskets, boxes, folders and drawers, kindly provided by the manufacturer, fit perfectly into the shelves and make the furniture in our homes sadly similar.
The easiest way to “break” the picture in the viewer’s head is to change these baskets, boxes and drawers. Label them with colored markers, stickers, or ribbons on the handles. Try to provide them with signs, signing the contents, or photographs - you certainly can’t go wrong with the content.

Funny pictures and small toys tied to hands will add order to the nursery and teach kids to sort things with more pleasure than usual.

Finally, flower pots, huge vases, wooden boxes obtained from other stores or your own pantry will do an excellent job of organizing small items.

It’s even easier to change the standard drawer inserts that complement the Kallax series shelving from IKEA. Replace the fittings! Porcelain or plastic, with a metallic sheen or in candy pop art shades - these handles will instantly refresh your furniture and give it character.

By the way, you can get rid of handles altogether by drilling round eye holes in the drawers.
Include a new color
The most obvious way to change furniture that comes in standard colors is to repaint it. Moreover, to achieve the effect of novelty, it is enough to shade just one compartment of the shelves with a different paint.
In the photo: KALLAX shelving design
One of the non-obvious solutions is to try to beat the manufacturer on his own field.
For example, it is known that IKEA gravitates towards Scandinavian design and in its collections tries to adhere to a natural palette with the inclusion of bright accents.
Accordingly, if you use a complex shade or sharply contrasting combinations in your shelving, visually for everyone it will no longer be IKEA. Would you recognize the Kallax shelving unit in the interior in the photo?

Change the shelf layout
The neat square skeleton of the shelves is another noticeable sign of a typical shelving unit, which sometimes goes against our storage needs. So what's the problem? When assembling your furniture, remove one of the dividers and you'll instantly transform the shelving unit into your own.

Make the rack “dissolve”
It is enough to place a shelving unit against a wall of the same color, and you will automatically make it “invisible”. This is a great technique to draw attention to the content rather than the form. Collectors will appreciate it.

An excellent example of “mimicry” in design is the white Kallax shelving unit (IKEA) in a Scandinavian-style interior in the photo below.

Hang and roll
Another way to break perception stereotypes is to change the position of furniture in space. After all, the rack can be hung on the wall or put on wheels!
In the photo: KALLAX shelving unit on wheels
Moreover, these solutions are offered by the manufacturer, but few buyers use them. And completely in vain. The same wheels will not only add mobility to the furniture, but will also become an appropriate inclusion in the style of the loft living room. And if you pair them with a work chair and paint their disks and axles in a bright color, your home office will sparkle with new colors.
The rack turns into...
What if you put two shelves side by side and cover them with a countertop?
In the photo: a table made of two CALLAX shelves
Or maybe put the shelf on the floor and cover it with a pillow? Should I give one of the cells as a bed for the cat?

By changing the usual functionality of this furniture, you will focus attention on its role, and not on the brand.

Shelving as interior partitions has long become a common place, but the interior of this living room proves the opposite. It was enough just to extend a couple of shelves to the ceiling and change the location of the shelves.
In the photo: shelving as an interior partition
Here, the shelving in the interior is completely disguised using paint, additional panels and MDF film. However, be careful: when undertaking a global remodel of the shelving, it is easy to jump over the line beyond which the question arises: wouldn’t it have been easier to buy other furniture?
