From craft room, kitchen to bedroom and beyond, we have over 25 IKEA hacks for organizing all areas of your home! Which is your favorite?
I knew I needed these IKEA hack ideas as I looked around my house to find ways to get my crafting self better organized this year.
I just keep going back to a large IKEA bedroom wardrobe I bought well over 10 years ago. I remember my excitement when I stumbled upon the fully assembled piece in the scratch and dent section of the IKEA “tool” section of the store (literally this is a corner of the store where they have tools secured to walls by chains). I began the long process of dissembling the wardrobe until it was in several smaller pieces, only to bring it back home to reassemble it all again!
This memory is so clear in my mind, that I doubt I’ll ever be able to give this piece away. Now many years later, I no longer need it to store my clothes. However, it has loads of storage and would make for the perfect organization solution in my craft room. It just needs a few adjustments, otherwise known as hacks!
This got me thinking: what other repurposed IKEA furniture ideas are out there that could help to get your home organized?
Some really popular IKEA hack ideas are an IKEA shoe rack, IKEA workbench, and IKEA bissa hack. Here are some of our favorite IKEA home organization and storage hack ideas we found. Visit each post to see how these brilliant bloggers pulled off the transformations!
