You can’t correctly pronounce the name of a single piece of furniture, you’ve got a secret stash of those little hexagonal wrenches and thoughts of mini meatballs smothered in lingonberry sauce dance through your head.
It’s no secret, you’re an Ikea addict, and your home look something like a photo spread from the Swedish super-store’s catalogue. Even though you already marvel at the genius behind the Billy bookcase’s connectivity and the Besta storage combos, the brilliance of Ikea’s products doesn’t stop there.
Who knew so many already awesome Ikea products could morph into the coolest gear for kids for next to nix? #GAMECHANGER
10 Cool Kids’ Bedroom Ikea Hacks
Check out how these Ikea hacks for kids’ rooms add flourishes of functionality and even allow you to upcycle!
1. Spice Rack Bookshelf
Don’t want to invest in a pricey shelf for your 4-year-old’s room? Heath & the B.L.T. Boys’ repurposed Bekvam Spice Rack bookshelf rings in at a low, low $4.99!
2. Mudroom Makeover
Polkadot Chair’s kid-sized lockers were made from Ikea’s Billy bookcases. Get your little one’s organised, minus the hefty price tag.
3. Bookshelf Dresser
As if turning a simple spice rack into a bookshelf wasn’t cool enough, On the Banks of Squaw Creek’s Ikea hack adds little Bekvam’s to the side of a dresser to make a cool kids’ combo!
4. Toy Turnover
Got an Aneboda dresser (no longer available for sale) hanging around? Little Red Window’s hack takes the birch veneer version and transforms it into a kids’ play kitchen. This is seriously crafty and cuts the cost of a store-bought version by bushels!
5. Step Up
This Little Street’s stepping stools are over-the-top adorable. With a pat of wallpaper, you too can take a plain Bekvam stool ($19.99) and turn it into a decorating dream.
6. Art Display
Make your child’s room museum-worthy. Mommo’s imaginative art display is created with two packs of Losjon hangers ($9.99 for a 5 pack).
7. Magnetic Wonder
Just a Girl and Her Blog’s kids’ room hack defies gravity and makes use of metal and magnets. Even though Ikea’s Kungsfors knife rack ($19.99) is technically for kitchens, it can double as a toy keeper! For instance, holding trucks, trains, cars and other metal-made small toys off of the ground. Genius!
8. Lego Raceway
Turn an inexpensive Lack table ($19.99) into a Lego play area and storage unit! Centsational Girl made this double-duty unit that lets you keep all of the teeny tiny pieces together while getting imaginative with play.
9. Delightful Dollhouse
If you have a Besta shelf unit ($115), you’ve got a dollhouse! Alternatively, you could use the Eket shelf unit ($75) too. Let Kids Create transformed the Ikea storage solution into a fab place to play with pretend friends. It’s an Ikea hack, pint-sized real estate dream!
10. Lego Playcube
Ikea Hackers is obviously packed with cool ways to use the Swedish stuff. This Lego play land is made with a 2×2 Kallax ($50) and a pinch of creativity. As a result, it’s one of the ultimate Ikea hacks for Lego lovers!
We’re hard stretched to decide which one of these 10 brilliant Ikea hacks tickles our DIY muscle the most. How about you?
