See this stunning kitchen with lots of IKEA kitchen hacks

Rachael, a licensed builder located in Brisbane, sent in her IKEA kitchen project where she (and her team) personalised/ customised/ hacked some parts of it to give it the extra va va voom.

She demonstrates a few creative ways of using and customising IKEA products to create her client’s dream kitchen. Let’s take a look at Rachael’s IKEA kitchen hacks.

#1 Overhead cabinet with moulding

The space had very high ceilings and they wanted to make use of the full height with a row of overhead uppers. But the two wall cabinets flanking the window would end up being a little too high if they were to line up with the overhead cabinet.

Rachael had the idea of adding decorative timber trim between the top rows of cabinets to slightly lower the second tier of wall cabinets to just the right height, without breaking the flow.

The decorative timber trim elegantly joins the top row of cabinets with the two lower wall cabinets and dresses them up even further.

Doesn’t it look grand?

#2 IKEA kitchen hack: Bench top island and casual dining table

As there isn’t a dining room in the house, they also did an ‘island’ which functions as a casual dining table using IKEA bench tops and a pair of custom legs. The legs are metal, welded into an ‘X’.

Rachael used the same bench top for the base cabinets and island to maintain a seamless look and feel.

In the above video, you’ll see more of the dining table/ island at the 4.55mark.

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.
