Welcome to the ultimate guide to IKEA hacking and DIY at Unplggd, with over 100 articles devoted to all things IKEA. Anything and everything about IKEA that's been highlighted in these pages is carefully cataloged and categorized (sorta) for your pleasure and convenience. Well maybe not *everything - man can only endure search for so long (in this case a couple of hours). We've got IKEA hacking, Ikea DIY, and even some normal IKEA pieces that we just found extraordinary.

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not from IKEA
What's IKEA? it is nor desk, nor chair,
Nor kitchen, nor dining, nor any other part
Belonging to a home. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So IKEA would, were it not IKEA call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. IKEA, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all my money.
