I can't remember the model number or name actually. I went to the showroom and they were using these frames for displaying mattress, so I asked an associate who told me where to find it in the warehouse. Sorry I couldn't be much help, but I think your best bet is to visit your local IKEA.

That is very helpful information. I plan to remodel my entry to replace the solid wall with a shoe base cabinet and glass wall on top of it. Very similar idea of what you have. Originally I was looking for the thick glass blocks, yours looks nicer and seems have more light through. Thank you very much!

I used the floor flange to mount the supporting poll to the wall,which then holds the plywood shelf. The wood shelf itself is relatively strong, so the weight capacity will mostly depend on the backing on which the floor flange is mounted. If you are mounting to a plywood backing or can hit wood studs, I would think it can safely support up to 80-100lbs if you use heavy duty screws. If you are mounting to just drywall, you can find butterfly wall anchors to help increase the weight capacity. I would say would decent anchors, it can hold up to 40-60lbs. Be sure to read the labels and they should give you some ideas of how much weight it can carry. If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask :)

The bed frame came from IKEA actually, it is the most basic aluminium frame they have. I don't think they displayed it in the showroom, I had to ask for it. Hope this is helpful to you!

The cabinets are ikea wall cabinets origionaly intended for kitchen. I modified the cabinet with custom millwork and countertop. It is an inexpensive way to get a whole lot of storage. Hope that helps!

This carpet is also from IKEA a couple years back. I browse through the current collection, and I think it is the same style as the "Egeby"- a flatwoven rug. However, I am not seeing the colour that I have (dark navy blue) in the current collection.

The floor material is concrete with epoxy paint. It is quite easy to maintain. The heating system is a forced air gas furnace with expose duct work

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Annie Thornton added this to Houzz Tour: Nature Suggests a Toronto Home’s Palette
In designing the bedroom, Ho’s primary challenge was light. He wanted the room to be cozy but preferred a bright and airy space over a dark cocoon. In a first-floor room with no direct light, this seemed nearly impossible. But always ready to experiment with a new material, Ho installed sanded acrylic partitions between the kitchen and bedroom. The room now receives plenty of light but has privacy. The panels also add to that snowy northern look.Ho built the clothes rack and shelves with plumbing pipes and birch planks. Though the rest of the home has an updated contemporary style, this feature alludes to a more industrial look, warmed up by the light wood shelves. Ho says this closet system has forced him to be tidier.
Alison Hodgson added this to 9 Exit Strategies for Your Clutter
Create a schedule of purging. It’s natural in fall and spring to go through clothing and decide what no longer fits. Choose a day, bag things up and get the bags out of the house. So easy to type but so many steps — I know!Short term, it could be designating a day every week or two to run errands, including stops at the library, Goodwill or shops to make returns.
Laura Gaskill added this to 15 Fun Organizing Ideas for Fashionistas
On display. For the utilitarian at heart, this setup is rugged and functional. Plumbing pipe and fittings were used to create an overhead hanging rack for clothes, and simple wooden planks rest atop more pipe fittings to create a floating shoe rack below.
Apartment 46 for the Home added this to 6 Cost-Effective Ways to Go Custom Made
6. Personal style. Custom made doesn’t need to mean hand carved or budget breaking to be stylish. Something created out of existing materials can be both functional and chic. The bedroom pictured here shows plumbing pipe used as a closet rack as well as shelf supports, for a customized, masculine, industrial look that fits the space perfectly.
