Ikea Hacking
Have you ever been to Ikea on a Sunday afternoon?
You know, design - even at a low cost - can give a modern touch to a sad-looking home. All the more reason to resist the attack masses production.
I read about a blog that shows how to “hack” Ikea furniture!
By dissembling, cutting, removing, adding and re-assembling, you can personalize those standardized Ikea pieces.
These fans of “Made in Sweden” who, just like me, are against cloned houses, post their unusual ideas and explain how they modified Ikea furniture and turned it into something else.
A three-door wardrobe can become a workstation that is perfect for hiding your PC and creative mess when you have guests over.
You can also insert your PC tower in a Lack table that, when illuminated, looks like a real designer piece. I think I would need some help to manipulate the components.
And the final touch would be a restyled couch. All you need is a white canvas cover, some black paint and a stencil.
I’m so inspired! This weekend I think I’ll head out to my nearest Ikea store, which is in Casalecchio.
