You can use Trones in an entrance hallway, in a kitchen, in a bedroom or nursery, in a garage… in fact you can use Trones just about anywhere in your home.

But there are things you can do to Trones to make it prettier and more useful.  This includes painting it, adding different pulls and handles, stacking several units together, and so much more.

So here are 12 different ways and ideas to hack the Trones unit, or to put it to good use around your home.

 

The IKEA Trones Unit

The IKEA Trones unit is a 2-drawer unit that comes in both white and black colors. This is how it comes directly from the store:

It is a shallow cabinet that takes up minimum space. Therefore it is perfect for entrance hallways, closets, or anywhere where you need storage, but you just don’t have the room otherwise.

There is a recessed area on the top of the unit, which can be used to store little things, such as keys or your phone. Then there are pull down shelves for storing or shoes (or anything else!).
