How did the IKEA BILLY shelf become a piece of furniture?

A few years ago, the BILLY bookshelf was declared the best-selling IKEA product of all time . She can attribute her popularity to several factors. Among other things, these are the minimalist design, the affordable price, and the fact that it can be easily adapted to any space. Moreover, on the official IKEA website, it was pointed out that it is estimated that at least one BILLY bookcase is sold every five seconds – somewhere in the world.

The first BILLY bookshelf was designed in 1979. In the decades that followed, trends in interior design changed to a great extent – and continue to change. However, it seems that the BILLY shelf is still at its peak, and that is exactly why it is a timeless piece of furniture .

Therefore, it is not at all surprising that Alja Horvat found inspiration in her for the DIY project that we choose to copy . To start, she filled the holes that were on the inside of the shelf to get a smooth surface. After that, she asked her followers on Instagram for help on the color to repaint the shelf.
