Ikea renovation

It’s no secret that IKEA is a gold mine for affordable, hackable home decor. And in its massive catalog, there are a few tried-and-true favorites that always seem to rise to the top. These classics are classics for a reason: From the storage-packed BILLY bookcase to the endlessly customizable BEKVAM spice rack, they’re all super versatile in terms of both function and style.

Yes, tiny kitchens can be adorable, but they can pose problems when it comes to having adequate space to store cookware, prep and keep food, cook and eat, and house your plants (hey, that’s important, too!). You might be able to renovate, but that’s certainly costly—and perhaps not an option if you’re renting. But where some see a problem, IKEA hackers naturally see an opportunity. They don’t just stick to the store’s kitchen section, either!

The people over at IKEA are all over the clever DIY projects shoppers have been crafting with its basics. In fact, the Swedish brand has a not-so-secret website that’s a library chock-full of IKEA hacks that will turn your world upside down—or, at least, your house.If you’ve yet to be acquainted with Livet Hemma (which translates to “life at home”), it’s time to be formally introduced.
