The best IKEA hacks for upgrading your furniture
An IKEA hack is when you take an IKEA product and upgrade it in some way that makes it more functional, more beautiful, or both. It's an easy way to freshen up your home by giving your worn-out favourite piece of furniture a quick lift. It's also kinder to both your wallet and the environment than buying a brand-new piece of furniture. Are you an IKEA hacker? These companies might be for you!
There are many ways to do DIY (Do it yourself), from building something yourself from scratch to applying marble wallpaper to a dresser. Fortunately, in recent years a number of companies have emerged that help you with bigger hacks in an easy way. The best of them make your IKEA furniture last longer and look more luxurious. We've put together a list of our favourites so you can hack everything from your kitchen to your sofa. And don't forget that you can of course then combine your lovely new fronts and cabinets with fine handles and knobs from Freya Home.
These are the best high-quality IKEA hack companies for upgrading your furniture
BEMZ
IKEA sofas and chairs can last for years, but the fabric can wear out fairly quickly. Some chair seats have removable covers that can be washed, but far from all of them. When stains on your favourite chair simply won't come off, Bemz can help you. Bemz produces covers in high-quality fabrics for a wide range of IKEA chairs and sofas. Or perhaps you just want to liven up your dull beige sofa with a bit of colour and pattern? Bemz offers a wide range of fabrics to help you do just that. Each cover is made to measure, which helps cut down on textile waste.
Combine the IKEA Söderhamn sofa with a Bemz cover for a perfect result. Söderhamn is by far one of IKEA's most classic and streamlined sofas, with its flexible modular shape and choice of armrests. It's also very comfortable, both for you and your guests. The sofa really comes to life with Bemz's latest Simply velvet cover.
Prettypegs
Prettypegs was founded to extend the lifespan of IKEA furniture and to highlight that even small details can make a big difference. This Swedish brand started with a range of legs for tables, storage, sofas and beds. These legs not only improve the functionality of the furniture, but also add a bit more personality to your home. Prettypegs now also makes fronts for IKEA's Bestå cabinets. Combine them with Freya Home's stylish handles and knobs to really nail that little extra something.
Superfront
Superfront offers one of the widest selections of fronts, sides, tops, handles and legs for IKEA furniture, including products for large wardrobes and bathrooms. The design itself is minimalist, with clean geometric shapes and various colour options. Bear in mind that you can always shop the fronts at Superfront, who specialise in this, and combine them with lovely handles from Freya Home. We're all different - but it's easy to mix and match, as fitting handles is super simple.
