18. Flip a bed from Malm to separate a room 

You're still searching for ways to divide your room into multiple zones for someone living in a studio apartment. Using their MALM bed, a smart way to do this comes from the IKEA catalog itself. The headboard is taller than the foot of any bunk. However, if you turn the vet around, you build an artificial wall. You're just creating a barrier between your bedroom space and the rest of a studio apartment, so both sides of the headboard look the same. Technically, for any number of beds, you might try this hack, whether you bought it from IKEA or not.
