You probably only recognize the SULTAN LADE ($10, ikea.com) if you own one of the Swedish retailer's bed frames, since it's usually located underneath a heavy mattress to add support. But instead of hiding this item, which features pieces of pine wood connected by two pieces of cloth, Steinmetz transforms it into a stylish wall hanger with the help of two wall hooks.
After securing to the wall, she uses S-hooks to hang items on the wooden planks. In the kitchen that means pots filled with herbs, a clip board for recipes and a container full of cooking tools. Then, in the bathroom she attaches baskets stuffed with towels and in her office she drapes magazines over the edges — no hooks required. But our favorite idea has to be using this mid-century modern design to hold shoes. How surprisingly chic?
