I know that IKEA furniture hacks are all the rage, but there’s a good reason for that. It’s inexpensive, and their furniture is easy to transform into something custom and stylish without spending a ton of money. Today I wanted to share several IKEA Bookcase Hacks to inspire you—there are so many ways to put your own design spin on these budget-friendly, versatile furniture pieces! You may remember when I transformed this IKEA Billy Bookcase for a fun design challenge.
I love this Moroccan Stencil IKEA Hack by Lovely Etc.
This Industrial Cabinet Hack by Ashley at Simply Designing is another creative way to make over a simple bookshelf.
Melissa from Polished Habitat added some fabric backing to her bookshelves, which is the perfect way to customize them!
Tania from Run to Radiance made her IKEA Billy Bookshelves look like custom built-ins and they turned out awesome! Her studio is totally droolworthy.
Angela from Blue i Style added some cute yellow bun feet to her bookshelf—the perfect whimsical touch in this fun kid’s space.
My friend Charlotte from Ciburbanity added paint stirrer sticks to the side of her shelf, along with a custom paint treatment for a really cool and unique look.
Jenna from Rain on a Tin Roof turned her IKEA Billy Bookcase into an amazing dress-up closet for her daughter. How fun is that?!
Check out this gorgeous bookcase hack by Heathered Nest! I absolutely love this adorable room.
Hopefully these IKEA Bookcase hacks have sparked your creativity and inspired you to think outside the box when you see basic shelving! A basic bookcase may look boring or plain on the store shelf, but it can be something special and unique after you put your own DIY spin on it.
What type of makeover would you give to a plain bookcase?
