Instagram creator, Bre, stunned people on social media by turning the $6 IKEA bamboo Ostbit dish rack into sleek floating bookshelves. This clever hack made good use of the space available on the walls without using any drills or nails. The DIY IKEA Ostbit bookshelf hack didn’t require any extra effort or any modification. The creator bought the racks and mounted them vertically on the wall using adhesive strips.

The unique idea might look simple, but it is equally brilliant, as it saves efforts, time, and causes zero clutter. Bookshelves are usually bulky, expensive, and take up a lot of space in your room, which might make you feel cramped. The DIY IKEA Ostbit bookshelf hack, on the other hand, frees up floor space and serves as décor with warm wooden charm.

Bre made good use of her creativity and fixed the dish rack on the walls using heavy-duty, 20-pound commercial strips. Next, she carefully arranged her favorite books to create a stylish display. Since there is no need to hammer nails into the wall, you don’t have to worry about any damage. Peel the tape, attach it to the rack, and stick.

Now let’s see how this hack works. The design of the dish rack resembles a miniature fence or a wide comb. It features a long, rectangular shape with symmetrical and uniformly distributed vertical wooden rods. This structure with softly rounded tips holds the plates firmly. The books have a similar flat surface to plates, making it easier to arrange them on the racks.

The DIY IKEA Ostbit Bookshelf hack turns a simple, bamboo wooden rack into a visual gallery of neatly arranged books. The natural, organic charm of the rack provides a Scandinavian aesthetic, and the arranged books look like decorative framed showpieces. Bre deserves all the praise she is getting on social media for turning an inexpensive kitchen object into elegant floating bookshelves.
