1.IKEA Malm Bed Into a Four-Poster

This blogger wanted a four-poster bed but didn’t want to spend all the money that would require.

So instead of buying a new one, they re-did their IKEA Malm bed by adding 4 posts to the bed, creating an elegant and sophisticated look.

They also added some drapes to soften up the look and have a canopy effect.

You may think this blanket might set you back hundreds of dollars but in reality, you can create it for less than $20 using an IKEA Gurli blanket and some lace, trim and gold sequins.

Just beware, it may take you quite a while to finish this one as it is meant to be a labor of love! Check out the guide at Make Scout DIY!

10.Gold Upholstered Bench

If you need a fancy looking end bench for your bedroom why not use an IKEA Vittsjo TV unit like this blogger did?!

You could use whichever fabric you like to turn the tv unit to a bench. The best thing about this is you get some extra storage space on the shelves for small items like books, magazines or even shoes! Check out the full guide over at Dwellings by Devore.

11.Brass Pulls to Spruce Up A Bed

If you have one of those IKEA bed frames with a pull-out storage station underneath then this is a great hack to try to quickly and easily make the bed look more glam and much more functional.

It can get annoying always trying to wriggle those pull-out drawers out from underneath your bed so this hack makes it easy as pie!
