A DIY Cupboard makeover idea from IKEA Billy
Get ready to turn your living room into a furniture masterpiece!
- The first step in this DIY project is to assemble the cabinets. With a clear manual to guide you, you’ll have them put together in no time.
- Then, it’s time to bring it all together with screws and your trusty power drill. Using the drill, you’ll create cone-shaped holes allowing you to countersink the screws and give a seamless finish.
- Next, you’ll add a touch of durability by attaching MDF panels to the sides. With this added strength, you can feel confident in securing your cabinets to the wall.
- Before you admire your handiwork, seal any holes with wood filler and give it a fresh coat of paint.
Finally, it’s time to put your personal touch on it with decorating techniques you love and can’t wait to show off to the world.
Build a Stylish Coffee Table out of Magazine Holders
When a conventional table isn’t really your thing, you should have a look at this futuristic adjustable coffee table. 
You can tweak it to have a wider or taller appearance which is perfect for a different situation.
- First, unpack the magazine files. Make the already existing holes wider or bigger.
- Then, drill holes, four outer and two inner files. Use 12 pairs of bolts to assemble the four files.
- And then do the same for the inner files using the ten bolts.
- Cut a piece of MDF and shape it like a diamond 4 cm from the bottom.
- Cut another piece of MDF 4 cm from the bottom edge at the apex and the sides and 15 cm from the backside.
- Fasten the MDF on the magazine holders using the carpet tape.
- Unpack and assemble the two SVENERIK stools.
- Cut a 90-degree 8 cm deep recess in the seat.
- Lastly, screw the seat of the stool onto the MDF of the boards.
Make Your IKEA Lack Table Look More Expensive
You wouldn’t find tables like these at stores as they are specially made. Yes, it looks fascinating with those slats. Here’s how you make them.
Cut pieces of MDF to make the base according to the width and height you like. Assemble glue and secure them with nails. Cut the slats and glue them to the table base. Lastly, coat them with primer to give protection and color. You can leave it like it is or paint it with other colors.
It looks better than a flat mundane conventional, or store-bought table now.
An Elegant Media Console transformation project from Ikea Kallax
Redesigning and recoloring an Ikea console is a fun thing. Just look at the result here.
It starts with removing any stain, sanding it, and giving a primer coat before painting it. And then, add some stick panels on the front. Cut a piece of board and a semi-circular stick and glue them.
Install doors with pretty golden handles to make it even more fantastic.
Before installing the console on the wall, find the right spots on it so it can hold its weight.
A Hidden Home Office project idea in the Living Room
This Ikea hack project will turn your living room into a sleek and stylish workspace! Start by separating your Hemness cabinets with Hemness hardware. Then, assemble the rest of your cabinets and make room for your electrical socket and cable ducts with some well-placed holes. Light up your work area with OMPLOP LED lights and hang everything from a sturdy rail suspension.
Next, add a touch of sophistication with Vrena table tops and mount the table on Blum hinges for a sleek, floating look. Align your Metod suspension rails with your TV’s suspension rails and join the cabinets, adding in the OMLOP lights before hanging them on the wall. Finish it off with drawers and doors, and place the Vrena table in place.
And last but not least, maximize your storage space by cutting some UTRUSTA shelving to hide your Tradfri drivers. Get ready to impress with this stunning and functional living room workspace!
