Thanks for asking. Ever since COVID -19 lockdowns, many people have developed a taste for interior design and regularly take to Pinterest for inspiration.
But as you may well know from experience the cost of buying a few furniture items can quickly add up.
As a result clever internet users have been coming up with solutions to repurpose items bought from Ikea, which are available in many different parts of the world.
The trend has been labeled Ikea hacking.
What are some examples?
One of the main goals is to organize and optimize space.
It could be using a small bookcase with square compartments as a horizontal bench for example.
Add a mattress and some cushions and you've got something that's comfortable to sit on and can still be used for storage.
Meanwhile stalls are also very popular for making coffee tables or plant shelves.
Some IKEA hacks are very simple, like using a spice rack in the bathroom, a child's bedroom or a cupboard to save space.
The same goes for bathroom steel bars, they can be put in kitchen cupboards to store lids, A ladder can be used as a magazine rack, a bed frame as a wall organiser, a baby bed as a clothes drying rack.
You can even create a small bed for your pet using a low level coffee table with a cushion inside.
There's also a design aspect to it.
You could take a pie dish and a pot cover with the same grooves, paint them and make them into a candle holder, a flower pot, an ultra graphic fruit basket or a tray.
you could convert your laundry baskets into beautiful lamp shields.
So can you just customise any piece of furniture?
Well, IKEAs main concept is offering simple and minimalist objects at affordable prices.
The flip -side is that you often end up with the same furniture as your friends or something that doesn't look very high quality.
The term IKEA hacking is now used in a broad sense to refer to improving a cheap IKEA product.
On the Internet you can find many ways to enhance and elevate furniture without breaking the bank.
Particle board furniture can be repainted to look like real wood and adorned with vintage handles to give it an antique look.
Adding doors to a simple bookcase can make it more aesthetically pleasing.
Right now one particular trend involves redecorating entire pieces of furniture with mosaic tiles.
Do I have to get the original items from IKEA?
No at all. IKEA hacking is all about getting away from the standardization caused by mass consumption of the same items from multinationals.
But if you buy your items from IKEA, of course you're still somewhat contributing to that phenomenon.
IKEA has even been riding the trend by sponsoring online articles listing the best hacks.
If If you use and refurbish second hand furniture instead, your items will end up being even more original.
Of course you can still stay true to the ethos of IKEA hacking.
Finding new functions for furniture items and enhancing them.
You can stop to consider those options before throwing away old furniture you already own.
It's even more cost effective and eco -friendly.
