When I started looking at Ikea hacks I was a little disappointed. I wanted to share with you some fabulous ideas of how to use Ikea products 💡🚪 . What I found were thousands of ideas for transforming Ikea products and some major DIY projects 🏘🏡. As you and I both know, dear readers, simply redecorating something is not a hack. Here is the result of my efforts in finding some great Ikea hacks 🖼🛏😍
My favorite Ikea hacks are those that are so easy you wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. Spice racks to store cutting boards? Ingenious.
This takes a "Tibba" picture ledge and makes it into a nightstand - great to store all those bits.
An alternative use for the carrier bag store.
Spice racks are going to appear in a few Ikea hacks. Here they make useful bathroom racks for all your toiletries.
And here they are again as book shelves in a children's bedroom.
I was surprised by how many Ikea hacks there are for cats.
Another cat-themed project using an Ikea storage hamper.
What a great way to use an Ikea wine rack.
If there's one furniture item that is more versatile than you ever imagined, it's the bookcase. Ikea hacks using bookcases make the most of the products "Billy" and Expedit.
This involves fixing a storage cube unit to the wall and giving it a fancy top surface.
A brilliant use for the Expedit bookcase.
Fix some wooden magazine holders to a shelf/piece of wood, stain or paint and you've got a nifty storage unit.
Another change up for the Expedit.
This uses the "Grundtal" magnetic knife rack.
Not got any room for a bedside cabinet? Use a magazine rack as a shelf.
Adjustable shelves in Ikea bookcases means this is a cinch.
Craft webbing and the 99c frame makes this one of the cheapest Ikea hacks.
With the "Varmluft" lampshade it's just a few steps to produce a floating cloud.
Ok, so not so much of a hack as merely a clever placement of shelves - but it's a cute idea.
Another brilliant transformation of an Expedit bookcase.
Paint the cloud and fix a length of Ribba picture edge for the shelf.
Put various bits of Ikea furniture together for a customized and clever closet.
Ok - hands up! Who guessed that one of the Ikea hacks would be a bed made from bookcases?
"Hemnes" shoe cabinet looks stylish in a hallway as a console unit.
The addition of a bottom shelf and castors turns a table into a bar cart.
You need some good DIY skills to transform a "Tarva" dresser into a really useful desk unit.
Yes, it's the Expedit again. This time it combines with "Lekman" boxes to make a clever wardrobe for a kid's room.
There's obviously something about Ikea furniture and cats!
Turn the "Ekby Alex" shelf into a console with storage with the addition of some hairpin legs.
Get your sewing machine out to turn a "Lack" table into an ottoman.
Four Lack tables each with a leg cut off make an attractive corner unit.
A great use for the "Raskog" cart.
Four "Ikvar" side units, some piano hinges and some fabric and hey presto!
Transform a regular Ikea Trestle desk to a chic desk by covering the top with marble-printed contact paper. Love!
Metallic lighting is all the rage right now! Use copper spray paint on Ikea's Ottava pendant lights to achieve this amazingly simple yet fab look!
This is particularly useful if you have loads of DVDs, old CDs, records, books, and other things lying around that you just can't part with. Just buy Ikea's kitchen cabinets, set them on the floor, add a top surface and voila!
All you need is a round mirror from Ikea and some faux leather belts to create this unique accent for your home. I love the touch of green!
Take Ikea's ORE shower curtain, FINTORP pots, GRUNDTAL S hooks, and some spray paint, and what do you have? A quirky, modern herb garden!
Aren't these adorable? All you have to do is tie driftwood around IKEA’s HEMMA or JANUARI lamp bases.
Transform Ikea's Tarva dresser into this stunner with some soft green paint and a set of brass bar pulls.
The IKEA Malm bed frame can be revamped into this headboard by using a little Stikwood adhesive and some wood panels. Gorgeous!
Ikea hacks are a good place to start testing your DIY skills. (Although some might say you need some in the beginning to assemble some of their items in the first place ^_^.) Are you inspired to get DIY-ing?
