At the start of the year, you’ve probably taken a look at your home and thought, “I need new lighting” or “We should figure out something for that awkward nook” or simply, “My craft room is a mess/ needs storage”. Well, let 2018 be the year to tackle some of these “someday” projects.
Here are 12 IKEA hacks to try this year, one for each month. I hope they’ll start firing some neurons in your right brain.
12 IKEA Hacks to Try in 2018
#1 Upgrade a lamp shade
The right lamp shade can lift the style of the place immediately. If you have a plain IKEA lamp shade and want a change of style, how about wrapping the shade in yarn? Or with maps?
#2 Add a sideboard
You know, that blank wall that just “needs something”? Well, this is the thing. A sideboard with all the right Scandinavian vibes.
#3 Get your home office in working order
You’ve always dreamed of a better, more functional home office? Make it happen with IKEA countertops and drawer units. This dual workstation is totally doable, even for first time hackers.
#4 Style your office supplies
Office supplies does not need to look office-y. Weave a few colorful threads through the mesh and brighten up your work station immediately. Read more.
#5 Organise your craft space
Big crafting plans for 2018? That calls for a big, beautiful craft table. We know you’ll adore the large work top and all that storage, storage, storage beneath.
#6 Make it pretty
I want at least a dozen of these. Just paint the IKEA PS coasters and use them for jewellery and other trinkets. Simple. But adds instant glam to your dressing table/ makeup vanity. See the tutorial.
#7 Add shelving to your walls
Make your shelves a conversation starter, not just to hold things up. The FROSTA X is still one of the best shelf hack ever. See a video of how it’s done.
#8 Another way to add shelving
Use ropes, IVAR planks and voilà, a minimalistic hanging wall shelf that looks as good as the things it displays.
#9 Add a burst of pattern
What a lovely way to add some punch to your dining table. These DIY scalloped placemats will definitely get your guests talking.
#10 Squeeze in a breakfast nook
Even in a small kitchen, there are genius ways to squeeze in a mini breakfast bar. Tiny, but hey, it works.
#11 Wrap it up
There are so many ways to embellish plant pots from IKEA. And I particularly love this plant pot wrapped in fabric. No sewing required. And it’ll make a great housewarming gift too.
#12 Make someone happy
This is the hack your cat has been waiting for. Make a cat tree with hammock from the BEKVÄM step ladder. The new IKEA VILTO storage stool also seems designed for this. And if you prefer, the hammock can be hung from a coffee table instead.
