Materials: Lack wall shelf Description: We wanted to put up something that our cats could use to climb on and that didn’t take up any valuable horizontal real estate. Saw a pet store in our neighborhood using shelves as climbing walls for cats and looked online only to find that this is not so uncommon a practice and discovered this fab site along the way. Here is our version of a cat hack using Lack

Materials: Vika Curry leg, Ekby Statlig shelf Description: The goal was to make a pair of cheap and simple speaker stands. Vika legs are just suitable height to bring the speaker to the ear level when I’m sitting down, and in black they will match the legs of my desk. For the base plate I used an Ekby Statlig solid wood shelf in 19cm width. To put it all together I bought an 8mm threaded rod in the hardware store and a couple of nuts and washers

Materials: Discontinued Ikea kitchen table, Gabbro stone slab, Rill (small) casters, wood screws Description: I wanted to tailor a couch table to my needs – with the right height, with a very sturdy tabletop and with swivel casters. At that time an inexpensive and simple kitchen table was available at Ikea (can’t remember the name). I cut its legs to the desired height and painted it with transparent paint (glaze) to match the rest of the furniture (palisander)

Materials: Paper Description: It’s not really a hack but it’s the outcome of a brief I was set at university. I currently study Graphic Design at University College Falmouth and was recently set a brief about Ikea, namely, to promote the new catalogue. I stumbled upon this very site and found the creative ways people used Ikea products.

Materials: ANEBODA Description: ANEBODA wardrobe with extra shelf, space for belts and ties, metal file dividers on top, and other MIKAEL features. Basically, I wanted to incorporate the space-saving features of the MIKAEL desk (discontinued and replaced by the inferior MICKE) into my aging, wobbly ANEBODA. This is how I did it (in about 2.5 hours), while making the ANEBODA a much more solid piece of furniture. Major components: ANEBODA – $99 FLANG – $2.99 each (I’d recommend getting 5) SPONTAN – $9.99 Hanging file frames- $6 each set (get 7 sets) at Office Depot or here for real cheap: Message board- $29 I’m using Tacktile from CB2 since I had one lying around, but it would probably look better with a cork board Brackets – $1 to $5 each depending on size/style (get 6) Shelf – $10 to $40 depending on style/etc 1. If your wardrobe is as old as mine, no doubt the back has already fallen off (or is just hanging by a thread).

Materials: 2 Aneboda nightstands Description: After moving a pair of Billy bookcases into our Aneboda-stocked guest room, we realized the nightstands suddenly had no home. There wasn’t enough floorspace to keep them both around, given that we already have a narrow 5-drawer and standard sized 3-drawer dresser in there. To maintain storage space, but use less floorspace, I simply stacked the leftover nightstands, with a minor modification. I removed the top board on the lower nightstand, and removed the feet from the upper nightstand. With a few holes drilled, I was able to fit them together with the existing twist-in metal rods and wooden dowels
