10-Year-Old’s Bedroom Transformed by an IKEA Hack, and We Love The Result! 10 Apr 2:00 AM (7 days ago)
When does a cabinet become a bed? When it’s an IKEA hack that includes a bunch of different storage pieces, like a platform bed jigsaw puzzle. Jean Daniel decided to grant their 10-year-old daughter’s wish for a more grown-up bedroom. (They actually swapped rooms!) Since their daughter now had a bigger bedroom, she wanted a bigger bed to go with it, so Jean used various IKEA EKET pieces to build a platform bed. If you decide to recreate this hack, […]

We’re gearing up for longer, sunnier days, and we want a backyard that entices us to step outside and spend time together. Our budget is slim right now, and I know we’re not alone. Therefore, I thought it would be fun to see what kind of an impact $500 could make on a humdrum patio.

Update! I totally fell for IKEA’s clever April Fool’s joke. But in all honesty, it’s a fabulous concept for a store, don’t you think?

The Swedish furniture giant, famous for its labyrinthine layouts that transform quick shopping trips into epic journeys, is completely reimagining the in-store experience.

Camouflage Your Shoe Storage Beautifully With This Clever IKEA Hack 1 Apr 2:00 AM (16 days ago)
Keeping your shoes near the front door makes sense. You put shoes on before you leave the house and take them off when you get home, so why not keep them as close as possible? We keep a few pairs of shoes near our entry, currently in a basket, but I’ve been dreaming of a more out-of-sight solution. I was thinking about getting a tilt-out shoe cabinet for our hallway since these pieces have a nice, narrow footprint. When I […]

We’re Over the Moon for This Clever Lighting Hack 27 Mar 2:00 AM (21 days ago)
Clever lighting can turn a drab room fab in a flash, but that doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. Sometimes, the most simple ideas deliver the most impactful results. I think this hack is a great example of what you can do when you use a dash of ingenuity and a little DIY power. Marlena Schubert (@schuberts_haustagebuch) turns the IKEA SNUDDA Lazy Susan into a cute wall-mounted moon lamp for a kid’s room. The idea is very similar to […]

These IKEA Picks Are the Perfect Recipe for a Playful, Cheery Kitchen 26 Mar 2:00 AM (22 days ago)
Did you know the average American spends a staggering 1,000 hours per year in their kitchen, according to a recent survey by OnePoll? It’s certainly true for our household. On any given day, we spent many hours in the kitchen — using it as an art studio, conversation space, classroom, and everything in between. IKEA gets this. They understand a kitchen is so much more than just a place to cook. And kitchenware should not only be practical but also […]

This IKEA Hack Serves Plenty of Storage and Style, and We Want It 25 Mar 2:00 AM (23 days ago)
Now and then, I see a hack that I love so much I start trying to figure out where we could make it work in our home. This storage dining bench made from IKEA BESTÅ pieces and the IKEA SUTTERVIKEN drawer fronts is an example. Unfortunately, my home has no place for a dining storage bench like this, but if it did, I’d be rolling up my sleeves and getting to work. The creative mind behind this hack is Henrietta […]

The MOPPE Hack That Makes Grabbing Spices Ridiculously Simple 20 Mar 2:00 AM (28 days ago)
Is it just me, or does it seem like every kitchen has an obligatory drawer full of spices (many of which you’ve never heard of)? We organized our spices into a built-in spice rack on the side of our kitchen island. However, I know that for many people the spices simply collect on the countertop, adding to the clutter. It makes sense to want your spices close at hand when you’re cooking. But you also want to keep your counters […]

Is LÅDMAKARE the Next Big Thing in IKEA Shelving? 19 Mar 2:00 AM (29 days ago)
It looks like IKEA has done it again, creating an affordable yet stylish storage solution that boasts adaptability and maximizes space. The new LÅDMAKARE series delivers a sleek aesthetic that incorporates nicely with various styles and offers a custom look without breaking the bank. But what sets this new species apart from the other storage superstars in the IKEA ecosystem?

Elevate the Space Behind Your Sofa with this Easy LACK Hack 18 Mar 2:00 AM (last month)
Where do you put your cup of tea or that cocktail zinger while lounging on your sofa? Perhaps you have an end table, but what if you don’t?

Then you might want to check out this behind-the-sofa console from Kate Hewitt (@our_bears_home) made from IKEA LACK shelves. If your couch floats (in other words, it’s not against a wall), the area behind […]

The Clever Hack That Makes Changing Diapers Easier 13 Mar 2:00 AM (last month)
When I was planning my son’s nursery, I remember gawking at inspo pieces that boasted spending thousands on their baby’s room. We were working with a much smaller budget, so a $1,000 changing table (or even a $500 one) was not an option. Therefore, I appreciate repurposing other pieces, as Maxi Marie (@maxis.homestory) did with this IKEA KALLAX changing table hack. If you’re trying to stretch your dollars in your baby’s nursery, I think the changing table is one of […]

Maximize Loft Bed Storage With This Brilliant IKEA Dresser Hack 11 Mar 2:00 AM (last month)
I’m a firm believer that there’s no such thing as too much storage, especially if you live in a smaller home. Maximizing every inch is an ongoing goal in our two-bedroom, so I’m always on the prowl for more space-saving solutions. Currently, I’m brainstorming ideas for my son’s bedroom, which is why this HEMNES bed hack from HANNA RÖDIN (@hannarodin) caught my eye. The IKEA HEMNES series cropped up in the early 2000s, starting with its chest of drawers in […]

This Easy DIY Turns IKEA’s Cheapest Lamp into a Retro Accent Piece 6 Mar 2:00 AM (last month)
Mushroom decor has been trending lately. I’m not sure I go for the whole mushroom print on pillows, tea towels, furniture, or toadstool statue vignettes. However, a cute mushroom lamp gives me mid-century vibes that I can get behind. Magdalena Wöckinger (@menawox) gives the IKEA LAMPAN Table Lamp a quick facelift with a glass bowl, a kitchen knob, and a coat of paint.
