Mum shares incredible DIY Ikea bed hack that doubles storage space in her tiny box room

A mum has come up with an amazing solution to her lack of storage in her box room.

Sarah Tomin revealed her incredible DIY Ikea bed hack that doubles storage space in her tiny box room on Facebook.

Sarah built her own bed using Ikea Kallax shelving units as the base.

She joined them together to  form a U shape then nailed down bed slats in the middle before popping a mattress on top.

The clever hack means she has plenty of storage below the bed, without having to compromise on floor space.

Posting on the DIY on a Budget page she said: "Small room that lacks storage.....one IKEA bed hack later. There is a step in the window side. The middle slats are removable so even more storage accessible underneath."

Her post got more than 740 comments and 2,200 likes from people who were amazed at the idea.

One said: Love it! Just shown my teenage daughter and she wants one. Well done! Love the colour scheme too!

Another added: "What a fab idea. Can someone come and do this for me please?"

Whilst others thought the bed could be used for other things. One said: "All I can think is what a great hiding space it would be if you crawled through one of the holes and put the box back in"
