20 best IKEA hacks on Instagram 2019

It’s been a while since I last did a round up of my favourite IKEA hacks on Instagram. And since then, the number of IKEA hacks on IG has grown leaps and bounds.

When I did a search, I found over 280,000 posts on #ikeahacks!

So, before the year ends, let’s dive in and check out some of the best IKEA hacks on Instagram.

20 best IKEA hacks on Instagram

#1 MALM reading nook

A cosy reading nook from 2 MALM dressers (though the caption mentions HEMNES), framed. It even has space behind the cabinets for storage.

Two #ikeahacks in one photo ☺ The reading nook and a bookshelf. The bench was made using two ikea dressers. We framed them for a built in look and pained them the same color as the wall. They weren’t quite deep enough so we added a storage compartment in the back – perfect for storing extra blankets and pillows. The bookshelf is made from 4 ikea book ledges and dowels. A favorite spot for both reading and play. Hope you’re having a good Monday 🤗. . . #ikeahack #ikeahackers #ikeahacksforkids #diykids #julinspo #readingnook #windowseat #barnrumsinspo #barnrumsinspiration #kidsroom #kidsroomdecor #vintagekids #kidsroomideas #kidsroominspo #barnrumsinspo #barnrumsinredning #barnrum #timmervägg #vintagedecor #vintagekidsroom #vintagekidsrooms

#2 KALLAX kitchen island

A lovely farmhouse style kitchen island using the KALLAX shelving unit as the starting point.

Watch the build process video here:

#3 Breakfast bar with the FINNVARD trestle

Want a breakfast counter? This is probably the easiest way to set one up. A FINNVARD trestle and butcher block anchored to the wall. And that’s it!

#esstischinspo 💡Werbung wegen Firmennennung Einige hatten gefragt woher unser Esstisch sei.. also den Bock kann man einzeln bei @ikeadeutschland kaufen, das ist der selbe denn wir auch für unseren Waschtisch im Bad verwendet haben. Und die Tischplatte gibt es auch bei Ikea in der Küchenabteilung, es ist nämlich eine Arbeitsplatte.. die gleiche die wir auch in unserer Küche haben damit das alles zusammen passt 😄 super easy und teuer war das ganze auch nicht 😁 ich wünsche allen einen schönen Montag 😘 // dużo ludzi się pytało skąd nasz stół w jadalni, a więc jest z @ikeapolska nogę idzie kupić oddzielnie a płytę znajdziecie w kuchniach.. ponieważ jest do blat kuchenny, taki sam który my mamy w kuchni żeby stół pasował do naszej kuchni. 😃 za nie dużo pieniędzy a i tak się prezentuje ☺ życzę miłego poniedziałku 😘 #kitchen #kitchendesign #kitcheninspiration #kuchnia #kuchnie #ikeakitchen #ikea #ikeahacks #ikeaideas #farmhouse #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #farmhousekitchen #landhaus #landhausstil #landhausküche #esszimmer #esszimmerideen #interior #interiorinspo #homeinspiration #homeinspo #decoration #decorinspo #whiteinterior #whiteliving #whitedecor #vanlife #scandinavianhome

#4 Sewing room cutting table

Inspired by this sewing table hack, Johanna made her own version from 3 KALLAX units. The table provides lots of storage and a large surface for cutting. Perfect!

Watch her cutting table video below. Sewing room tour video here.

#5 The blue “yoga mat” bag

The FRAKTA trimmed to fit a rolled up yoga mat and protect it from the rain.

#6 TROFAST LEGO table

Always love a good IKEA-LEGO hack. This LEGO station is made from 2 TROFAST units back to back.

WERBUNG|| DIY-Legotisch 😁 Hey ihr Lieben 🥰 Wie versprochen zeige ich euch noch das Geschenk von uns für den großen Schlawiner zum 3. Geburtstag 🎁🎉 Da die letzten Monate das Büro vom Papa voll mit seinem alten Lego war und der Schlawiner nix anderes mehr spielen wollte, baute ich aus zwei Trofast Regalen einen Legotisch 😍 und damit er nicht durchgehend so viel Platz im #kinderzimmer einnimmt, habe ich ein paar Rollen drunter gebaut, Scharniere an den Regalen befestigt und ein Schließmechanismus 😁 nun kann man den Tisch aufklappen und ganz an die Wand fahren 😅 nicht nur ich bin begeistert 😍😂 denn Papa und der große Schlawiner sind nicht mehr aus dem Zimmer zu bekommen 😂😂😂 kurz vor knapp wurde ich noch von einer guten Freundin angefixt 😅 denn sie führte mich zu @limmaland und deren passenden Lego-Sortier-Sticker 😱😍 mein innerlicher Monk ist sowas von befriedigt 😅 #endlichordnung 😅 Wie gefällt euch der #legotisch? Habt ihr auch früher gerne mit #lego gespielt? 🥰 Wenn euch die Idee gefällt, dann freue ich mich über einem Herzchen, einem Kommentar und das Abspeichern/Teilen nicht vergessen 🥰 vielen lieben Dank 🥰 #birthday #partyplanner #kidsbirthday #kindergeburtstag #party #mamablogger #mamablogger_de #diy #surprise #mottoparty #boy #meingroßer #stolz #vorfreude #partydecoration #birthdaydesign #kidspartyideas #happybirthday #ikeahacks #3geburtstag #schnellundeinfach #spieltisch #present #geschenkideen #diebestenideenfuerkinder

#7 Vintage style TARVA

A row of TARVA 3-drawer dressers given the faux drawer treatment. Classic.

#8 HOVET industrial mirror

Industrial mirrors have pretty much exploded on my Instagram feed. Most are pretty expensive. Make one from the large HOVET mirror and save some $$.

#9 Dog bowls using the IVAR

Isn’t this cute? Food and water bowls for your dog using short IVAR posts and a shelf. Cut holes in the shelf to fit your dog bowls.

#10 Hot air balloon with REGOLIT

Add a little whimsy to your kids’ room. A REGOLIT lamp shade, small basket and stick on dots completes this hot air balloon.

#11 A classy mirror cube

This looks a million bucks but it’s cheaper than you think. You’ll need 2 packs of IKEA LOTS mirrors, 24 angle brackets, masking tape and an adhesive that fixes to both glass and metal. Join the mirrors together, et voilà!

[𝙸𝚔𝚎𝚊𝚑𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚒𝚐𝚎𝚗] • Ja, nu äntligen tog jag tag i detta som jag tänkt göra länge! En spegelkub. För att göra en spegelkub behöver du: • 2 paket av Ikeas spegel ”Lots” • 24 st vinkeljärn • maskeringstejp och • lim som fäster mot både glas och metall Sen är det bara att köra! ________________________________________ #spegelkub #ikeahack #ikeahacks #ikeahacksdiy #diyikeahack #ikealots #ikealotsmirror #mitthem #inredning #interiordesign #interiorstyling #inredningsinspo #inredningsinspiration #inredningsdetaljer #interior #interior2you #interior_deluxe #interior_and_living #interiordecor #heminredning #heminspiration #heminredningsinspo #interior4inspo #inspotoyourhome #heminredningsdetaljer #homedetails #mynordicroom #nordichomes

#12 KURA playhouse

A lovely KURA playhouse. Click the arrows to see how happy she is to call this her big girl bed.

#13 Cigar Box Guitar

When I see absolutely “far out” hacks like this, it gets me very excited. It also reminds me of this one. I hope the BRONSSOPP guitar sounds good.

#14 Toy box crate with seat

What an idea! A toy box with storage and seating. So useful, and I don’t mean just for kids. I can think of a number of ways I can use this handy storage crate ottoman at home.

#15 Mobile phone loop

No instructions found. But it seems pretty straightforward. Snip the handle off the FRAKTA blue bag and glue the ends to inside of a phone case. Done!

#16 Release the KROKEN

If plain clear glass is boring, jazz up the KROKEN with art. These personalised water bottles make great gifts too.

#17 FROSTA chair

So simple but make a difference. Just take one more FROSTA seat and leg and attach the short curved section under the seat. Sadly, the FROSTA seems to be discontinued, which is a major bummer. It is definitely Number 1 on my “IKEA, Please Bring Back List“.

#18 LEGO brick cabinet

These LEGO brick cabinets are adorable. Cilla made them from EKET cubes and round discs. Catch her Stories at @designbycilla for the tutorial.

LEGOSHELFIE.

#19 Prehistoric DUKTIG

This Jurassic theme DUKTIG play kitchen is so rawrsome. Be sure to check out the entire room @sweet_home_of_mine. And this post for more DUKTIG hack inspo.

#20 Rustic coffee table

Probably the simplest hack ever. The SNIDAD basket (handles removed) topped with a round wood table and there you have it! A coffee table for your patio.

IKEA HACK -👉SWIPE ACROSS for more photos!! One of the hardest things to find in most stores is a natural coffee table. So again I got to thinking and looked around my house for some inspo!! I really do have way too many baskets and thought about a past hack of mine where I turned a laundry hamper upside down to make a side table. So I turned the Ikea Basket I had upside down but the handles were in the way! I loved the look of it and it was a decent size for a small coffee table – so off went the handles! Also sitting in the storage room was the $19 @kmartaus oak look Side Table which I hadn’t used yet! The round top matched the colouring of the basket beautifully so I popped it on top!! Shazam- Instant Coffee Table – and I needed something to go with my @kmartaus Timber Chairs- perfect!! So if you have the @kmartaus timber chairs and you want a little table to match – here’s one for you!!❤❤❤ #ikea #ikeahack #hacks #decorhacks #homehacks #homedecor #home #bargain #bargainshopper #bargainhunter #decorate #diy #diycoffeetable #natural #kmartaus #kmarthack #kmarthacks #homestyle #homeinspo #lookwhat_i_found

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.

Kitchen renovation reveal: Rhombus wall steals the show

It’s been a while since I did a home tour. If you’ve missed the previous reveals, you can catch up with my Master Bathroom remodel and Guest Bathroom reveal . Today, let’s focus on my kitchen renovation. Hands down, this is the most used room in my home. I spend crazy amounts of time in here, even when I’m not cooking. Just off to the side of the kitchen I converted an awkward space into a reading nook . In the mornings, I sit and read or pray and meditate, before it gets too warm. And on the other side, there’s a work-in-progress plant wall / indoor garden which also takes up a lot of my time. So, all in all, lots of traffic in here, and that’s not even counting cooking and eating time. The kitchen is definitely my favourite room, because the transformation is huge and I love how it turned out. Kitchen renovation: The before House 17 when I first got it, actually had 2 kitchens, which is a very common “Asian” home concept. First, the “dry kitchen”, which is where you make simp

IKEA sofa with genius armrest storage

Bet you never knew your sofa armrests were prime storage space. Ok, so the guys at IKEA are the masters of hidden / secret storage everywhere. In fact, one of the things I most loved about the  ESKILSTUNA sofa series was the undercover storage on the chaise lounge, but… what? More than 80 liters of storage space wasted on the armrests? NO WAY! I really don’t understand how they didn’t take that opportunity with several different armrest modules. Mobile chargers, cup / can holders, foldable tables, refrigerators… there’s SO MUCH space in there. I can’t stop thinking on different options! For myself, I went for two designs. First, a “full space” design on the (right) side of the chaise lounge. (The cavity fits two foldable chairs). Second, on the left armrest — a flip open section for “mobile charger / remote control storage / etc.”. Below that, a full-depth pull-out drawer, tall enough to store A4 sized magazines. This is the final result: Full space design, right of cha
