If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with this event then you&#8217;re in for a treat. Each Spring and Fall, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oneroomchallenge.com\/featured-designers\" target=\"_blank\">20 Featured Designers <\/a>are selected by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oneroomchallenge.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Linda Weinstein<\/a> and the ORC team for a 6-week challenge where they each take us along on their journey to an incredible room transformation! Feeling inspired? <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oneroomchallenge.com\/orc-blog\" target=\"_blank\">Guest Participants<\/a>, like yours truly, with a blog or Instagram account can register and join in on the action. This year, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the challenge includes an additional 2 weeks of work time which is so helpful for newbies like me and Hubby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This post contains affiliate links and I will earn a commission, at no extra cost to you, if you make a purchase using any of them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1867\" height=\"1400\" src=\"https:\/\/neatlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DSC07415.jpg\" alt=\"Storage cubbies on wall\" class=\"wp-image-1790\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6021375135080120\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3858885546\"><\/ins>\r\n\t<script>\r\n         (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IKEA Storage Cubby Install<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love the affordability of IKEA furniture but man, they&#8217;re no fun to put together! I&#8217;m thankful Hubby indulges me with all my crazy ideas because this one was a pain! We decided to install 11 of these IKEA storage cubbies which took much longer than anticipated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns no-bottom-margin is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"1411\" src=\"https:\/\/neatlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200101_222151755_iOS.jpg\" alt=\"Storage cubbies boxes\" class=\"wp-image-1778\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"1411\" src=\"https:\/\/neatlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200101_222208834_iOS.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1779\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We created our pattern and started with the bottom section because it was a lot easier to slide these cubbies in place from bottom to top. You&#8217;ll definitely want to mark on your wall where you&#8217;re planning to install each cubby. This install process was really trial and error with a sprinkle of just pure luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns no-bottom-margin is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"1411\" src=\"https:\/\/neatlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200105_223029301_iOS.jpg\" alt=\"Wall storage cubbies\" class=\"wp-image-1780\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"1411\" src=\"https:\/\/neatlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200105_223043481_iOS.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1781\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may notice that we used 2 different depth sizes for these IKEA storage cubbies. I think this choice added more dimension and interest to the overall, finished look.  You can literally arrange these pieces in any pattern that tickles your fancy. They&#8217;re so fun and really allow your creativity to shine! Our room wouldn&#8217;t be complete without a pop of yellow somewhere so I had to include the mustard ones of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1867\" height=\"1400\" src=\"https:\/\/neatlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DSC07457.jpg\" alt=\"Wall storage cubbies\" class=\"wp-image-1792\"\/><figcaption>Larger cubbies &#8211; 13.75&#8243; W x 13.75&#8243; H x 13.75&#8243;D || Smaller cubbies &#8211; 13.75&#8243;W x 13.75&#8243;H x 9-7\/8&#8243;D<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hands down the best part of having these cubbies are all the various ways I can style them!
