These Companies Help You Hack Your Ikea Furniture (And Make It Look Expensive)
Ikea furniture is great just the way it is, but it's also an affordable base if you're looking for something to customize. There's a handful of companies that sell beautiful products like wooden cabinet fronts for your Pax wardrobe and mint green spindle legs for your cabinets — all made especially for Ikea furniture. Many of the best companies are based outside of Canada and although shipping can get expensive, it's still cheaper (and a lot more fun!) than buying a whole new piece of furniture. Here's six companies to make all of your custom Ikea dreams come true:
Customized IKEA
Custom upholstery
Bemz allows you to update a tired Ikea sofa, armchair, headboard or bed skirt (plus a million other things) with covers that fit a variety of Ikea models. Choose from hundreds of colours and fabrics like purple velvet or red linen. Sofa covers starting at $99.
Customized furniture legs
It’s amazing what a drastic change changing the legs on your furniture can make to your space. Prettypegs offers a massive selection of super-stylish legs for Ikea beds, sofas, storage and tables in all different shapes, sizes and colours. Legs starting at US$53/4.
Custom bunk beds
You know those awesome Ikea solid pine bunk beds? They totally transform when you stick on these decals, cut especially to size for each panel. $79 for a set of five to cover the whole bed.
Custom drawers
Update your dresser into a botanical masterpiece with these removable stickers. Behang Fabriek specializes in decals that are easy to stick and remove to update your Malm dressers, Pax wardrobes and other Ikea products. Ships to Canada, but priced in Euros. Starting at €40.
Custom cabinets
Semihandmade specializes in doors for many of the beloved Ikea cabinets — the Pax wardrobe system, the Sektion kitchen cabinets and even the Besta media system. They also sell three different sized tabletops, so you can turn Ikea cabinets into other pieces of furniture, like desks or side tables. Starting at US$66/door.
