Faux fretwork panel as large scale wall décor

Bet you never thought IKEA picture frames — sans pictures — could be wall décor? Carol and Mel did just that. They arranged a bunch of the affordable FISKBO picture frames into a fretwork panel for their wall.

IKEA Item:

FISKBO

Other Materials:

Lay out frames on a large space that you won’t need for a few days.

Arrange them into a formation that you like.

Follow instructions on back of adhesive tube and glue the frames together.

Pay attention to keeping frames straight and aligned with even spaces.

Then, let the glue cure thoroughly. We used some heavy books to keep the frames down.

Lastly, install your faux fretwork wall décor with the appropriate wall fixings.

Heidi salvaged two ALGOT metal shelves which had been smashed in the transportation. Rather than binning them she re-purposed them and made some wall “art”. See how she did it.

#2 Turn cheap postcards into chic wall art

Liskat bought some IKEA art cards that were perfect for the kitchen. She was looking for a way of displaying them so they looked a little less cookie-cutter and a little more high-end. A quick trip to the local DIY store provided all the necessary materials for this easy to assemble project. See the full tutorial.

#3 Floor panels for the wall

Wooden walls make a room feel homey. There’s no reason why floor panels can’t be placed on the wall. If the IKEA TUNDRA is unavailable in your country, any laminated flooring should do the trick. See more photos and steps.

Peter was tired of looking at the original brick fire place in his main living space. Inspiration struck and they clad the fireplace with SPONTAN magnetic boards. Get the details.

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, rig...
