IKEA Hacks & Ideas

Beyond the IKEA Hack. Innovative companies create something new using IKEA furniture.

IKEA has its place in the world of design, a pretty important place actually. For those of us that need somewhere to start when we move out on our own it is essential. The price point, ethical standards and renewability factor are all pretty good. Combined this with well designed furniture, and you have the perfect stop for all your 20 and 30 something home needs.

Most of us, at some point however, would like our home to have pieces that don’t stand out as iconic IKEA. Luckily we have options. Born from the “IKEA Hack” come a team of companies using IKEA products as a jumping off point for something more unique. Say you bought an IKEA sofa years ago and there isn’t anything really wrong with it, consider an upgrade from one of these three designers.

1.   Not a “hack” exactly, but Pretty Pegs will help you totally transform your old or new IKEA sofa. They offer new legs for old furniture. Modern and beautiful, nobody will ever know it is IKEA.

2.   Another online brand available to help you transform your old sofa is Bemz. Slipcovers and chair covers are available for a wide range of IKEA styles in dozens of fashionable patterns and solids.

3.   Superfront is genius. This Swedish company provides fronts to cabinetry, handles in modern finishes, and all over major upgrades to your IKEA bathroom or kitchen. Don’t worry they ship to Canada.

Sometime all your sofa needs is a facelift or your kitchen a new front to look custom. There is no denying there is a major place for IKEA in home décor and design, but we prefer it with the extra edge and style.
