Three Ways to Organize With Bed Slats

Watch us turn a simple set of bed slats into wall organizers for three different rooms in your house. From the entry to the kitchen and into the bathroom, our budget organizer is the perfect weekend project to get any room in order.

Start by locating the studs in the area where you want to install your bed slats. Try to find and mark at least three studs and put marks down the wall in two places to properly secure your slats. You'll ultimately want at least four screws driven into the studs, two at the top and two at the bottom as evenly spaced as possible.

Next, you'll need to transfer your marks on the wall to the front of your slats. Get your marks centered in each of the slats so that you'll have ample room to drive screws without the risk of any splitting.

Take your bed slats to your workbench and drill small pilot holes where you've made your marks. Pilot holes are crucial to avoid splitting the wood so don't skip this step.
