I'm an IKEA hacker, so I know first hand that with a little lateral thinking and some DIY, you can achieve pretty much anything you want with these budget-friendly furniture. The brand makes brilliant basics, which are at the heart of any good IKEA hack, so that you can translate the latest trends in interior design into your own home, without breaking the bank.
Of course, it's not always as easy as it sounds, or IKEA hackers make it look. Some of the most inventive hacks out there use tools that are expensive, or you need experience with. Personally, I've made over cabinets, made IKEA's freestanding wardrobes into built-in closets, and even done some pretty creative things with an IKEA fruit bowl (but more on that later), so I know what it takes to make your creative dreams a reality using IKEA as a base.
