IKEA Ivar cabinets are simple and basic pine items for storage – such a look requires changes and personalization. We’ve gathered the coolest and brightest IKEA Ivar hacks you may love and repeat or get inspired to create something that you like.
Renovating The Doors
Upscaling the doors of the cabinet is the easiest idea to go, it’s a fast and simple DIY. Take some paint of the shade you like and paint the Ivar piece, and voila! Saying painting I mean not usual solid colors but also something creative: some abstract or geometric patterns, even houses and mountains – turn on your creativity! You may also try various stickers or masking tape to create some prints on the Ivar piece. Not your way to decorate? Cover your Ivar cabinet with some printed wallpaper, go for dimensional appliques or chalkboard paint, so that your kids could turn this plain cabinet into a masterpiece with chalk. Don’t forget that you may add some legs to your cabinet or handles, pulls and knobs – create your own Ivar!

Other Hacks
If you don’t have much time, simply limit the hack to adding a top and a couple of leather pulls – you’ll get an easy Scandinavian item. Adding bright legs to the cabinet is another fast idea, it won’t take much time. Change the doors for cane ones and add hairpin legs to give your cabinet a gorgeous mid-century modern feel. Hang new doors made of paneling or beams, cut out the doors and insert some cork inside – these are catchy and interesting hacks. You may actually change your Ivar into a totally new piece painting it and adding shelves, legs and accessories. Turn on your creativity and create a customized piece!
