5 GREAT HACKS OF THE WEEK
#1💎
Why we like it: This IKEA Pax wardrobe hack brilliantly transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
By combining Pax wardrobes with timber from Savoy Timber and elegant skirting from Skirting4U, it offers both style and functionality.
The Brass handles are the perfect finishing touch, adding a bespoke elegance. It's a creative, cost-effective way to achieve a luxurious, custom-built look in any home.
#2💎
Why we like it: This IKEA bookcase hack is a game-changer for anyone looking to add a high-end look on a budget.
The process starts with a solid paint primer, ensuring a good base. Then, a carefully chosen stain is applied, followed by the masterstroke: using a grain tool to create a realistic wood grain effect.
This technique transforms a simple bookcase into a piece that looks like an expensive, real wood cabinet. It's an ingenious, cost-effective way to elevate your space with a touch of DIY magic.
#3💎
Why we like it: We absolutely adore these IKEA nightstand makeovers.
The creativity in these projects is inspiring, showcasing a range of styles from modern chic to classic elegance. It's hard to choose a favorite when each makeover reflects such unique and personal charm.
Which one do you love the most?
#4💎
Why we like it: This DIY Adventsteller, with its simple, natural, and beautiful design, perfectly complements any ambiance.
The combination of IKEA's OMBONAD bowl and tray, ADLAD scented candles, STRÅLA lights, a wreath of your choice, and candle holders creates a warm, inviting holiday atmosphere.
It's a delightful blend of natural beauty and cozy charm. Well done!
#5💎
Why we like it: This IKEA hack, turning a STRÅLA LED garland into a reusable wreath, is both charming and sustainable.
The garland, entwined around a simple hoop, creates a warm, inviting glow, perfect for the holiday season. Adding eucalyptus and larch brings a natural, rustic touch. Love it!
