We’re going to highlight a hack from Erika Stübing (@herzenstimme), who crafts a luxe wall rack and magazine holder from a popular IKEA favorite. The DIY garnered over 24,000 likes on Instagram, but wait, there’s more. Spoiler alert: […]

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, […]

On April 10, this premier collection will unveil another 96 pieces that promise to push IKEA’s boundaries of democratic design.

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? IKEA’s bold new plan for a straight-line, two-kilometer store promises the impossible: an IKEA you literally cannot get lost in. The Swedish furniture giant, famous for its labyrinthine layouts that transform quick shopping trips into epic journeys, is completely reimagining the in-store experience. This revolutionary concept will allow shoppers to see the exit from the moment […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

Jeff Richards has found a simple yet effective solution for vinyl record collectors who use IKEA’s Kallax cubes to store their albums. With just a few inexpensive materials and minimal effort, Jeff has created the KALLAX Vinyl Record Shelf Stopper, a hack that prevents records from sliding too far back in the cubes.

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 […]

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? Perhaps the LÅDMAKARE line isn’t here to compete, but rather, to play well with others, offering customers even more ways […]

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?

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 […]

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 […]

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.
