The best IKEA hacks to upgrade your furniture

An IKEA hack is when you take an IKEA product and upgrade it in some way that makes it more functional, beautiful, or both. It's an easy way to freshen up your home by giving your favorite worn-out piece of furniture a quick makeover. It's also kinder to 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 DIY (Do it yourself in English, i.e. do it yourself in Swedish for the uninitiated), from carpentry to putting something together yourself from scratch to putting marble wallpaper on a dresser. Fortunately, in recent years, a number of companies have emerged that help you with major hacks in an easy way. The best of them will make your IKEA furniture last longer and look more luxurious. We've put together a list of our favorites so you can hack everything from your kitchen to your sofa. Don't forget that you can of course then combine your new beautiful doors and cabinets with nice handles and knobs from Freya Home.

These are the best high-quality IKEA hack companies to upgrade your furniture

BEMZ

IKEA sofas and chairs can last for years, but the fabric can wear out quite quickly. Some chair seats have removable covers that can be washed, but not all. When stains on your favorite chair just won't come off, Bemz can help. Benz produces high-quality fabric covers for a wide range of IKEA chairs and sofas. Or do you just want to liven up your boring beige sofa with a bit of color and pattern? Bemz offers a wide range of fabrics to help you do just that. Each cover is custom-made, helping to cut down on textile waste.

Combine the IKEA Söderhamn sofa with Bemz slipcovers 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 shines with Bemz's latest Simply velvet slipcover.

Prettypegs

Prettypegs was founded to extend the life 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 little more personality to your home. Prettypegs now also makes front shells for IKEA's Bestå cabinets. Combine with Freya Home's stylish handles and knobs for a really special touch.

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 and with stylish geometric shapes, with different color choices. Remember that you can always buy the fronts at Superfront, which specializes in this, and combine these with nice handles from Freya Home. We are all different - but it is easy to combine between, as it is super easy to install handles.
