IKEA IVAR x 3

Let's start out with one of the most popular IKEA pieces to hack is definetely the IVAR seies. It's beautiful in its simplicity and can be varied infinetely with its untreated wooden doors. They are also beyond practical and fit perfectly in narrow hallways or passages as sideboard storages. 

1. IKEA IVAR Tone on Tone

One of the easiest yet most effective IKEA Ivar hacks? Old fashioned paint and set of knobs! Painting the cabinets the same sand color as the walls creates a fancy monochrome, tone on tone effect. Adding wooden knobs brings warmth and a calming vibe to the room in the beautiful home of @homebyfell . It surely doesn't get much easier (or more stylish) than this.

2. IKEA IVAR Colour Blocks

You don't have to forfeit beauty when maximizing utility. This hack by @thebusyrooster combines two Ikea IVAR cabinets to create a stunningly colorful credenza. To take this IVAR to the next level, she painted them in contrasting (yet matching) colour blocks. And to get her new creation off the ground she added our Greta legs and Agda handles, both in matte black steel with knurled details to add some extra chiqness.

3. IKEA IVAR With Cane Doors

This hack takes a bit of work with the jigsaw, painting and attaching the rattan weave, but it surely transforms the inexpensive IVAR cabinet into a real designer piece! We love the warm notes and the sense of craftmanship in this pic. For a full tutorial, head over to @megmonde instagram account. Thank you Meg for inspiring us! :)

4. IKEA Bestå Kitchen Cabinet Hack 

If your small space kitchen is seriously short on storage, this easy Ikea Bestå hack by Annie from blairhousedesign will solve your problem. She used 3 cabinets to fake built-in cabinetry and added our adjustable Elsie legs and Hjördis handles to bring some warmth and pizzazz to the room. 

5. IKEA Havsta Wardrobe Hack

Ok, let's be honest... this absolutely stunning IKEA hack takes a bit of work and requires it's fair share of patience. But it really isn't too hard if you master the preparations. This is what you need; matching paint, wooden rods, our Lilian knobs and Otto 100 legs. Head over to lukearthurwells for more detailed "how to" if you fancy trying something similar.

7. IKEA Billy Bookcase

And last but surely not least - think outside the box with the much-loved Billy bookcases! The talented @frokenrubinen cut her Billy bookcase to fit her space and painted it in the same colours as the wall. And instead of placing it vertically, she placed it horizontally and added our Hugo legs in chrome which  definetely added that extra spark of luxury.
