If you are a purist design and aesthetics lover, who have a hard time coming to terms with the aesthetic hazard that is the converter box or streamer that sits on your sideboard in the living room under the TV and burns a black hole like it in your retina - we have a stunning solution for you that combines two of the things we love the most: Instagram and IKEA Hack!
(IKEA Hack - alternative uses and upgrades for IKEA products).
On the thornior Instagram account you can find a light video that shows how to take a cheap IKEA product - SMARRA a wicker storage box with a lid (price in Israel 69 NIS) and turn it into a stylish hiding place for a converter box, streamer or modem. You will even have a place to hide the remotes there, when you want Bring your living room to the highest levels of order, design cleanliness and a polished look.
Only NIS 69 and you have this crack. IKEA's SMARA box (photo: official website, IKEA)
All that needs to be done is to cut a small hole in the back of the wicker box, so that the cables of the device can be passed through it and the gadget can be closed inside the box.
This storage box has a fairly natural and neutral look that will fit into almost any design style, and will work especially well in spaces designed in the following styles: Nordic-Scandinavian, minimalist, boho chic and eclectic.
This solution is especially smart because because the box is made of straw shoots, and it is perforated, it does not block the viewfinder of the converter.
This fact allows it to continue to work and function without interruption (unlike, for example, solutions that close it inside the sideboard or inside a cabinet, and then the device's reception of the remote control signals may be disturbed.
What this hack does not solve is the cable issue, which can also be an aesthetic hazard. And if this It bothers you, try this trick, which we posted here some time ago.
