Materials: 75 5/8″ Besta shelf unit, Antonius clothes rail, 4 3/8″ Grundtal hooks, screws Description: We needed a narrow piece of furniture to hold our various coats and jackets (you need quite a variety in Seattle) that did not mount to the wall. The Besta shelf was the perfect fit for our pocket-sized entryway. After building the frame, we lowered all the shelves to the bottom to be used for shoes, bags, etc. The Antonius clothes rail was a bit long, so after chopping that to the appropriate length, we then attached it to the ceiling of the shelf used long screws drilled in from the top. We chose to leave the back off the shelf because we needed access to the light switches on that wall.

Materials: Stuva Combination Description: I used Ikea’s children’s furniture for my kitchen pantry. Perhaps not a “hack” but it’s a combination that I haven’t seen anywhere else and it is working very well for me.

Materials: Ikea Hemnes buffet, 4 Branas, a wood bottle holders to assemble Description: My husband love wine, but we don’t have any bottle holders in our kitchen, so we decide to transform our Hemnes buffet. 1- We buy a cheap wood bottle holders and I paint the parts of the furniture as white as the Ikea buffet 2- I was lucky to find the exact dimension of the buffet, instead you can easly cut the wood. 3- Then I put the back and the front parts of the wood bottle holders into the Hemnes buffet…

Materials: Expedit + dice (a lot of them) Description: Recently we decided to beef up our bland Ikea furniture a bit. The victim was an Expedit rack that we use as a hi-fi rack in our living room. I am a huge fan of pixel art and would cover my whole apartment in 8-bit if I could. Anyhow, as we wanted it to be something that is functional and nice to look at, we decided the only reasonable thing to do is to cover the whole rack with a curtain of dice

Materials: VANVIK bed (full), SARALISA, MINNA, & DITTE yard fabric, cording for piping, velcro, sewing machine, electic staple gun, and hours of measuring, pinning, and sewing! Description: A few years ago, IKEA released the VANVIK bed frame featuring curved black metal legs, adorned by a slipcover featuring the LEABY black & white floral print that was originally introduced in the EKTORP slipcover. I immediately fell in love with this bed, and was fortunate enough to purchase the floor model at the end of it's existence in the IKEA range. Sadly this version is now discontinued, but its sister version in white with a tailored bed skirt is still available. The curved lines, and the metal feet were the qualities that initially attracted my liking to this piece of furniture.

Materials: Lack TV bench & Lack Side Table Description: We had a lack TV bench which held a 36″ CRT tv and it didn’t hold up well, bowing the top piece of the bench. The Lack bench was also damaged by water when the basement leaked. When we moved and switched to an LED tv I wanted a sleek stand to go with it. I really enjoy furniture which appears to float, so I wanted to create something out of some pieces I had lying around (I didn’t know Ikeahackers existed at that point)

Materials: Chest of drawer – TARVA – not yet in the range Description: Three weeks ago I attended an IKEA contest in which I should design a chest of drawers, which is not yet on the market. It is made … of pine wood and so I could worked on it very well. With all of our furniture in white, I decided to use a lot of color this time and to incorporate many styles: The brightness of colors from the Orient, adorable handbatiked fabrics from Bali, Dot Paintings from Australia, the Meditation of mandalas and just a little inspiration from nature. And because I love to play Papillon (it's Ludo played with Rummy Cards) with my children, I've milled this in the form of a mandala at the top of the dresser

Materials : Cutlery (BONUS) just the spoons, screws Description : As I have already said before: the cheap and cheap-looking cutlery BONUS attracted me to define it again. With two sets of cutlery (24 pieces for 2.99 euro ) I made several hacks. The second hack only affects a supplement. I found the handles of the drawers of a yawner (and I admit that the drawers are no IKEA products, please forgive me), so the best husband of all, and I have selected the tablespoons, bend a bit and deal with holes provided. Since the material of the cutlery is quite thin, there was no problem with the drill
