The Internet Is Obsessed with IKEA Hacks — Here’s 10 Places to Shop for Your Next One

There are a lot of reasons why IKEA is beloved, but one of the biggest is the versatility of the products. Whether a space is minimalist or maximalist, designed on a budget or without one, there’s usually a good chance that an IKEA product can fit in. That’s because this Swedish retailer’s array of products are notoriously adaptable — so much so, that you can either keep your purchases as-is or take on an IKEA hack to turn it into something all your own.

While you can, of course, go a totally custom DIY route with your IKEA hacks, you certainly don’t need to. Since the dawn of the IKEA hack, businesses have sprouted in IKEA’s shadow to help shoppers get quasi-custom results without needing to pick up a single power tool. Here, find 10 of the best sources for IKEA hack products that span everything from slipcovers to furniture feet.

Offering more than 100 different types of furniture covers, Bemz makes it possible to transform the most popular IKEA sofas, chairs, and footstools with machine-washable and often sustainable options. As long as you match the exact IKEA item to the fabric of your choice, the cover should fit perfectly and look like a custom piece to fulfill your exact vision.

If you want a slipcover that is stylish and very durable — as in, you need it to stand up to pets or kids or both — then peruse the handmade options at Comfortly. This company has “pet-friendly,” “stain-proof,” and “scratch-proof” categories to choose from that’ll expertly cover sofas, chairs, ottomans, and bed frames. There’s an outlet section that’s worth a scroll, too.

To hit all your slipcover bases, it’s also worth mentioning Comfort Works, which has a wide selection of IKEA-ready options to choose from alongside alternates for the likes of Pottery Barn and Article furniture (the company has covers for 30 brands in all). The major highlights about Comfort Works is that you can test out a selection for 60 days, and get a three-year warranty once you’ve made up your mind.

Sometimes a furniture’s base doesn’t exactly match the style you want to create. That’s where Pretty Pegs comes in. It’s mostly known for its range of feet of IKEA sofas, dressers, beds, and tables — with everything from modern wooden balls to mid-century metal stakes — but the company also carries knobs and handles to match. A Pretty Pegs update can be done in just a few minutes, but can make all the difference in giving a piece the top-to-bottom makeover you’re after.

When you’re envisioning a glam dresser or bookcase, but you don’t have the skills to create a decorative panel yourself, try O’verlays. These pre-made designs fit on the fronts of IKEA drawers and cabinets for an additional layer of texture that can be painted any shade you please. From geometric to traditional, and straightforward to daring, there’s a shape for any style.

Seeking out a decidedly modern aesthetic? Plykea is ready for your creativity, thanks to sustainably sourced plywood fronts for PAX wardrobes and SEKTION kitchens that are confidently minimalist. Plykea also has a selection of countertops and hardware to choose from, so you can make your before-and-after shopping as straightforward as possible.

Handcrafted in Los Angeles to fit SEKTION, BESTÅ, and PAX, Modern Twig has a classic-meets-elevated catalog for cabinets in every room of a home. From wood veneer with graining that’s meticulously sequenced across the fronts, to solid wood Shaker that’s timelessly cool, to matte finishes that won’t cause a fuss, there are plenty of options to meet your plans.

Best known for its collaborations with some of the industry’s most recognizable talents, like designers Sarah Sherman Samuel and Leanne Ford, Semihandmade has a mix of trendy and traditional fronts to take an IKEA kitchen to the next level. Want to make your own mark? The company also offers unpainted panels that you can DIY.

The collection of options at the Cabinet Face can update some of IKEA’s most popular systems including the PAX and SEKTION. It’s possible to use these fronts in bathroom, kitchen, and closet projects — as well as anywhere you want to put storage, after all — and the options include finished natural wood, melamine, and acrylic.
