Materials: 5×5 Expedit, some wood screws, additional metal L-bracket Description: I’d like to show you my first IKEA hack! Time effort approximately 4 hours. Because we moved around the furniture in our sharehouse living room the 5×5 Expedit didn’t fit anymore into its desired corner.

If leather living rooms just aren’t for you, maybe you’re better suited with a fabric living room.  Microfiber (or microsuede) living rooms are a great idea for anyone that’s looking for a much cozier, maybe even a southern feeling, living room to enjoy. Fabric is sometimes criticized for being “tacky” or unclassy, but quite the opposite is true. In contrast to leather that may be too “warm” for some room designs, fabric allows you the opportunity to go with almost any color and fabric pattern that you like for almost unlimited design possibilities. And on a good note, fabric living rooms are almost always cheaper than leather living rooms because of their lower production costs.

Fabric living rooms can be used in many different applications such as, but not limited to, beach themed, modern, and traditional themed living rooms. Modern living rooms that feature fabric furniture usually call on the help of black or white microfiber couches to get the job done and usually blend in well in any situation. You can tie a fabric living room together that’s made up of microfiber couches with some comfy pillows and cushions to really make the couch a comfortable place to sit.

If you’re more in the market for a traditional living room or something with a little more beachy feel, you can go for living room sets that are made of interesting woods. Traditional living room sets usually feature darker woods and darker fabrics on the couches to help them blend in with wooden floors and things like wooden coffee tables. Beach themed fabric chairs often feature things like wicker siding and backing and go for a more laid back appeal without having much more than just a seat and back cushion, sometimes leaving the arm rests their original wood finish.

Materials: PERSONLIG kitchen tabletop & Vika Moliden stands Description: As I’€™m an avid fan of ‘€œpost your desk topics / workspace€ forum threads’, I thought it might be nice to share the IKEA hack in use in my own workspace. Last year I decided to refurbish my home office, to create a space that enables me to do my work in the most optimum way and of course that is pleasing to the eye. The first thing that came to mind was a whiteboard, I bought a really big one. However its 5 to 6 feet away from my desk and I realized I didn’t use it enough due to ‘€œdistance’. Sitting behind the desk while on the phone or just using my computer I found myself scribbling on pieces of paper instead of getting out of my chair and walk over to the whiteboard
