How would you like to customize a generic bed frame like this into a softer bed design, one fit for girls?

Ikea Hacker shows us how, when they transformed the Tromso from Ikea into their daughter’s coloful bed

1. We took off the ladder and turned it over.
2. We flipped over all of the wire mesh panels to give even support to the mattress.
3. We had a trundle bed and we fitted it under the Tromso upside down. We took off the back bar that was not lined up with the other two. We also took off the front boarder bars that were used to hold the bed in place (that was now upside down and where you climbed into the bed). Traced the middle hole of the boarder bar onto the back brace bar. This then was put where the front boarder bar was. This gave the bed stability again.
4. Screwed screws now on top of each post and strung wire across. On this wire we hung up curtains to create the ‘princess’ effect.
5. Put the trundle bed underneath, and mattress on top.
