Convierte muebles de IKEA en objetos realmente especiales
So many of us have at least one piece of furniture from the Swedish furniture warehouse store, IKEA. It's not surprising considering IKEA has super modern designs and amazing prices. But sometimes it can get old seeing the same Billy, Malm, Pax, and Hemnes pieces in everyone's living room. That's why the movement to individualize IKEA furniture is so brilliant! Here are a few cool hacks.
Muchos de nosotros, tenemos por lo menos un mueble u objeto de IKEA, la mueblería sueca. Esto no es ninguna sorpresa si tomamos en cuenta que IKEA cuenta con diseños muy modernos y unos precios sorprendentes. Pero algunas veces puede llegar a ser muy aburrido ver el mismo Billy, Malm, Pax y Hemmes
You might recognize these little guys called LACK. To make this sweet coffee table couple, you have to saw out the corner of one and fit the second table snug in the gap.
LACK can also become Fido's new favorite place to relax.
Or, with a little more creativity, it can be a fort just for your best four-legged friend.
The individual kitchen pieces from the TUTEMO collection can make an amazing wall bookcase.
You can attach cupcake forms to the REGOLIT lampshade and no one will recognize it afterwards.
The STOCKHOLM bowl isn't just pretty as a fruit bowl. Here it's attached to a lamp, giving off a beautiful pattern on the walls when it's turned on.
This table lamp can give off mystical messages if you cut out shapes of your choice and attach them above the lamp (be careful the material you use can withstand heat!)
Star Wars fans can have the Death Star hanging in their living rooms if they just add a splash of paint to the PS 2014 hanging lamp.
If you aren't a Picasso, perhaps this VATE hack is up your alley. You just need to be able to cut and glue for this sweet bird.
The ceiling lamp MASKROS will make the perfect addition to any child's room if you attach these alphabet magnets to the steel arms.
The FADO table lamp can guide you into dreamland if you paint a funny animal face on it.
Even the boxes from your furniture can be used: Here's a kid's movie theater, notice the tablet screen attached to the top.
This BEKVÄM stool is jazzed up with a beautiful, crocheted cover.
FROSTA stools aren't just good for classrooms, but also for outside at the playground. This hack requires a bit of carpentry skill.
FROSTA has even more potential. Look at this cat paradise! All you have to do is saw a few stools in half and drill them onto the wall in creative patterns.
KALLAX bookshelves also have potential to make your feline friends happy cats.
And when they are tired of playing, they can relax in the DUKTIG doll bed. If you stack a few, you can make pet bunk beds!
With all their extra energy, they can scale their new scratching wall, also known as the OSTED rug.
All that exercise really gets things moving. Here is a litter box made from a BESTA cabinet. Just cut a hole in the bottom, toss the box in there and you'll never have to see or smell it again.
No animals are left behind in IKEA makeovers. Here is a luxurious apartment complex for mice made from a KALLAX shelf.
The storage container SORTERA can make an amazing dog bowl. The trick here is to rig it so it refills on its own.
Don't forget the matching dog bed. This one will only fit small dogs, but grab a carry-all plastic container, cut out an entrance on one side, and put something cozy in the bottom.
A dream bed and storage can be yours if you set your bed on top of a series of KALLAX shelves. This one offers savings in space and money.
Scarves and hats will have a new spot if you attach different-sized KVARNIK containers to the wall. Again, a great way to save space and create a colorful wall decoration.
This one is a bit spacey. Cover the wall and ceiling with SAMLA plastic boxes. To create the shelves, you'll have to cut the bottoms out of some or flip them around.
The FINTORP drying rack isn't only handy for the dishes. It works wonders for storing spools of thread. To make this, you have to cut every second rod and bend it upwards. This is also a great way to store rings or tape.
KROKIG is actually designed to store mittens and hats, but it also works brilliantly as a bike rack. Amazing for any city dwellers out there without a yard or a basement. Your bike will stay safe and won't take up your whole living room.
And a simple one for those of you who aren't so handy: jack-o'-lanterns from small SINNLIG scented candles. All you need is colored stickers or scissors and tape for this one.
