IKEA Hacker

For souls with a taste for fine design, IKEA is a godsend. The affordable yet stylish furnishings offered by the Swedish retailer wind up everywhere from hip living rooms to lush lofts. This intriguing site will surely excite afficiandos of the blue and yellow behemoth. However, it truly highlights a niche of IKEA fans who break with cliches and think outside the box. The adventurous folks featured here toss aside the often indecipherable directions and remix or "hack" furnishings to their own taste. A guitar made from a table top? Check. A coffee table out of a file cabinet? Yep. A daybed transformed into a banquette? That too. With ingenious ideas like these, we heartily recommend taking a crack at some of these fun hacks.
