Stack an of display cubes on the shelves to create a customisable unit with varying shelf heights.TIP Because components aren't secured to one another, this project is for homes without young children or pets that climb.

BRING THE OUTDOORS

IN Grow the vertical storage space above your desk - no green thumb necessary! Here's the trick. When it's turned upside down, a half-round window box planter frame becomes a filing shelf. To give it a more indoor-ready look, lightly a sand to rough up the finish and wipe free of dust, then spray with a bonding primer and let dry. Spray two light, even coats of paint in a colour to match your decor. When it's dry, screw into wall using wall anchors for stability. For a similar window box deck rail planter, visit amazon.com.au.
