Top 5 IKEA Hacks to Spruce Up Your Home
I
1. Upholster a boring and basic IKEA chair or give it a custom pattern
Over at Little Green Notebook, there is a tutorial on how to give one of the drab IKEA chairs, from their basic range, a quirky new pattern just by using a Sharpie! Click here to see how you can do this too!
If you feel like more of a challenge, why not try upholstering the chair instead? There's no need to spend a fortune on a chair with a pretty pattern when all you need is a cheap basic chair and a few pieces of fabric from your local craft store.

2. Dress up a dresser with a lick of paint and changing the handles
Why spend £50-100 on an expensive dresser with a nice design, when you can make your own for less! All you need is a basic dresser, some paints and some interesting handles - maybe some hardware for the extra snazzy appeal! Click here to view the tutorial over at Marcus Designs Inc.
3. Turn some simple IKEA bookshelves into a family launch pad in you entrance hall
Like me, have you been exploring the magical land of Pinterest and come across all those fabulous family launch pads? I know I have and they always leave me clueless on how to make my own as they are just amazing! I don't even have a place of my own - never mind a family! However, as soon as I get a place of my own I'm building one of these bad boys to keep me organized as I fly out the house!

4. Is your cat litter bin an eyesore? Hide it away in a cabinet!
That's right, there is now a simple solution out there for all you cat lovers to hide away your cat's "presents" from guests and yourself. Simply click here to see how the people over at IKEA Hackers turned a cabinet into a sneaky and accessible (to owner and cat!) litter bin.
5. Always wanted to have a breakfast bar but could never afford it? DIY it instead!
Over at IKEA Hackers, they've managed to turn a few draws, baskets and a shelf into a "oh so dreamy" breakfast bar that I long to have. I think this method is so worth the time, given how much it costs to buy a regular one - no kitchen is complete without a breakfast bar! (A mon avis anyway! Haha!). Click here to read up on the tutorial.
I hope you enjoyed this week's post and that you try out some of the hacks.
