Small studio apartment decorating can be challenging, especially when it comes to creating separate zones and keeping clutter at bay. You’ll see how easy it is to create an entryway using Ikea Billy bookcases and natural jute grasscloth. This bookcase room divider serves many functions, including separating the bedroom from the rest of the space, and providing extra storage, crucial to organizing small spaces. And best of all, you can take your bookcase wall with you when you move out!

Love your idea! I wanted to do something similar in my rented apartment where my bedroom is too big. I got Ikea pax wardrobe which I can now use as a bedroom divider! Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you so much for watching – glad you liked my video! Would love to see a pic of your project!
This is absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for the great tutorial. I was looking for a way to better define the areas at my home since my door opens directly to the living room. I will be copying your idea so I can create a nice little entry way.
Thank you Liz! So glad my idea was helpful and I hope you’ll share pictures of your completed project!
Thanks for making this video! I’m actually looking into using the tall Billy bookcase as a wall divider for my new studio apartment. But I’ve been reading on some websites that they’re not stable. To use them as a wall divider, they’re obviously going to be free-standing. Are yours attached to the wall at all? Or anything else? I’m worried they may topple over.
Glad you like my video! Yes, the tall bookcase is secured to the wall with a bracket (I show how I did this in the video at 10:15 secs). Since the shorter bookcase isn’t next to a wall, I attached it to the taller bookcase with screws making the whole installation very secure. Hope this helps!
