Ikea is proof that a trendy home doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. And some of their latest pieces can be used in a variety of ways. So, if you’d like to be even more savvy, these Ikea hacks will give you a chic home for less.
Vilto Storage Stool
You don’t have to stick to the grey material here. Instead, you can make it match the rest of your interior with your favorite fabric.
Ekedalen Bench
This bench is classic and minimal. You can use it just about anywhere: kitchen, dining room, entry way, and bedroom. If you don’t like white, paint it whatever color you like.
Hemnes Storage Unit
This is a fun way to do storage, and this piece can double as a wardrobe, pantry, toy room shelf and so much more.
Ypperlig coffee table
This side table is both versatile and resilient. However, if the colors don’t blend well with the rest of your room, consider spray painting the tray.
Ypperlig Shelf Units
This storage unit is open and spacious, but a bit dull and office-like. You can easily upgrade it with colorful paint and a glossy wood finish.
Lurt Gubbarp
This simple rack is a great deal, but if you’d like to personalize it, paint your own knobs or find some adorable ones at Anthropologie.
Bestå Top Panel in white marble
White marble is an Instagram-favorite look, and if you can’t afford real marble tops, this Ikea piece might be perfect.
Utåker Stackable bed
If you enjoy hosting people, or if you know you’ll need bunk beds in your future, these stackable beds are an easy way to maximize sleep space while still having lots of open room.
Tarva 3-drawer chest
The great thing about this little chest is that the sky’s the possibilities are practically endless. Paint it any color or finish you please. Make it look rustic chic or old and elegant.
Lurvig pet bed
This pet bad is simple and adorable, but you can also make your own by repainting an old drawer with your favorite paint and adding a comfy cushion or mattress inside.
