This is a really great way to make your Super Mario themed bedroom both practical and fun. All you need to do is buy some yellow boxes from IKEA, and insert them into an IKEA Kallax shelving unit.
Download the question mark template below, print it out onto thick photo paper or thin card, carefully cut out the question mark and the holes for the corners, then spray mount onto the front of the storage boxes. It should turn out looking something like this! Easy, and all for less than £40.
UPDATE: Ikea no longer make this box in yellow - however you can still buy it in white and spray it yellow. Please scroll down to see other options though!
UPDATE! IKEA now make the Kallax unit with bright yellow doors. If you can afford it - this is a better idea, as the doors will last much longer than the Tjena boxes above.
This is really a wonderful post.
ReplyDeletethat is awesome! Too bad our Ikea doesn't have the yellow boxes :(
ReplyDeleteYeaah, I will try. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHey, this is really awesome and so simple! I'm sure plenty of Mario fans will give this a go. Just to let you know, I mentioned this post on my latest mario-related blog - you can check it here: http://wallartkids.com/mario-bros-bedroom-ideas Thanks very much! Nat

I'm going to buy one of these (the larger one) for my consoles and I think I am going to do this, Thanks for the idea. I think it will look awesome under consoles.
