THE CABINET BLUEPRINT
Turn shelf dimensions into a WarSplay layout
Start with a common cabinet, replace the preset with your measured internal space, then plan from a collection or check the stands you already own.
POPULAR CABINET STARTING POINTS
Plan WarSplay stands for IKEA KALLAX, BILLY, BLÅLIDEN, MILSBO, FABRIKÖR and more
The furniture name gets you to a useful starting point. The internal shelf measurement makes the plan reliable.
Good for long core-range builds. Enter the actual shelf height after setting the adjustable shelf pins.
Width is the limiting factor. Mini formats and carefully rotated footprints can unlock more of the shelf.
Plan across the width, then check door frames and shelf supports before committing to a multi-module layout.
Extra depth can support two rows or rotated stands, depending on the exact internal shelf and front clearance.
DETOLF units and modifications vary. Treat the preset as a starting point and tick measured only after checking your own shelf.
IKEA and the named furniture ranges are third-party marks used only to identify cabinets or shelves visitors may own. WarSplay® is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by IKEA.
THE FOOTPRINT LIBRARY
Five WarSplay formats. Three core shelf footprints.
The planner uses the product's bounding footprint, then leaves the edge and spacing allowance you choose.

MEASURE THE SPACE THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS
External cabinet dimensions are not usable shelf dimensions.
Frames, doors, hinges, shelf clips and rear cable gaps can remove several centimetres from the space a display stand can occupy.
- 1Measure internal width
Use the narrowest clear point between frames or supports.
- 2Measure flat usable depth
Stop before the door sweep, front lip or cable channel.
- 3Measure clear height
Include the shelf above, lighting bars and the tallest model.
- 4Keep a handling margin
A packed layout can fit mathematically and still be unpleasant to install.
PLANNER QUESTIONS
What the cabinet planner can — and cannot — guarantee
Should I use the cabinet's advertised dimensions?
No. Use internal usable shelf width, depth and height. Presets are only editable starting points because frames, doors and shelf hardware reduce the usable area.
Does the plan account for weapons, wings and scenic bases?
The top-down plan uses the WarSplay product footprint. Miniatures can overhang their own bases, so check the actual models before treating the result as a guaranteed fit.
Can the planner use more than one shelf?
Yes. Enter the number of identical shelf spaces available and the planner will distribute modules across them. Different shelf sizes should be planned separately.
Why does rotating a stand sometimes improve the result?
Deep shelves can fit a 20×11cm stand more efficiently when the 20cm dimension runs front to back. Check that the display still faces the direction you want.
Can I plan a KALLAX, BILLY or glass cabinet?
Yes. Select the relevant starting preset, then replace it with your measured internal dimensions. The generic tool works for any cabinet, bookcase, shelf or display case.
Does the planner check vertical clearance?
Yes, when you enter the tallest model height. It adds the tallest stand in the plan and your chosen safety gap, then compares the total with the clear shelf height.
Can I add the whole plan to my cart?
The optional plan-cart feature can add first-available variants. It is disabled by default because products with theme or finish choices should be reviewed on their product pages first.
Is WarSplay connected with IKEA?
No. Furniture names are used factually to help owners identify common shelf types. WarSplay® is an independent product range made by Blubbercove Ltd.
FROM EMPTY SHELF TO FINISHED DISPLAY
Measure the cabinet. Build the layout. Then make the collection visible.
Use the planner result as the footprint blueprint, then confirm every product's capacity and your models' overhang before ordering.
