IKEA HACKS WORTH CHATTING ABOUT!

Author: Mercedes Papalia

There is no limit to how we can customize the furniture pieces in our homes with different colours, shapes, textures, and altered functionality. If you’re looking for a simple DIY transformation that suits your interior style and personality without breaking the bank, this is for you. 

We’ve assembled our top ten IKEA hacks that are on trend, simple to create, and visually stunning. 


  1. CANE SHELVES 

We’re in love with these little cane bookshelves. They’re easy to make, and bring an organic feel to any space. For bonus points we like to organize our books by color.

2. WOVEN BOOKCASE

This billy bookcase makeover is seriously stunning. There isn’t a room in the house that wouldn’t look incredible with a piece like this. It’s sleek and classic, and the natural fibres of the material give a down to earth vibe. The best part, if you can believe this, it’s a project that requires no tools.

3. BATHROOM PENDANT DIY

This whole bathroom renovation is stunning, but the pendant hack is clearly the focal point. Completely in love with this look, and the easy to follow tutorial.

4. ARCHED CANE WEBBING STORAGE CABINET 

This IVAR cabinet went from basic to a full blown statement, real quick. It’s beautifully organized, stylish, and a one of a kind original piece.

5. WICKER LIGHT 

We can’t get over how simple this one is, AND it’s serving up some serious boho vibes. The wicker trend is here to stay and we’re all for finding creative ways to add more of it into our homes.

6. TILED LACK SIDE TABLE

We are obsessed with this trend. Tile grid everything, please and thank you! This tutorial uses a different IKEA table and white grout, which has opened up our creativity to endless color combinations and tile shapes that would make epic tables.

Simply brilliant.

8. DIY Pendant Lamp

We are all about using a set of lights to balance a space, but it takes some major design guts to have them in different colours, like this DIY by Ashley Rose.
