Our readers know we love a good IKEA hack. So to kick off spring, we rounded up a fresh new batch of budget-friendly furniture transformations that feature some of your favorites, which will turn your bedroom into a peaceful (and pretty!) escape. It’s time to update your bed linens, add some color to your space and give some love to those items you’ve neglected all winter long. These IKEA makeovers will get that done and more!
DIY Cushion Headboard
A new headboard can make all the difference in revamping your bedroom into the stylish oasis you’ve been dreaming about. Here, an outdoor bench cushion was repurposed into a sleek, minimalist-inspired headboard by wrapping it in good-looking fabric (this blogger chose denim) and hanging it with leather straps above the bed. It’s really that easy!
DIY Pom-Pom Blanket
Hand-sewn pom-poms convert a simple IKEA throw into a more dressed-up bedroom accent. Follow these simple steps to make this DIY pom-pom blanket.
DIY Mudcloth Pillow
A sharpie is all you need to convert this cushion cover into an on-trend mudcloth pillow. Some artistic talent wouldn’t hurt either, but the great thing about this textile design is that the patterns are supposed to look free-hand, not perfectly identical.
DIY Makeup Organizer
Pretty storage solutions on a shoestring budget? Yes, please! If the light wood surface of this simple cubby isn’t quite your style, coat it with a fun geometric print for a more modern feel. Set it on your desk or vanity to stash offices supplies or makeup essentials.
DIY Bedside Bench
How do you make a $60 coffee table look high-end? Wrap it in lush pink velvet fabric and repurpose it as a bedroom bench, that’s how. Finish with metallic gold painted legs to lend to an even more glamorous look.
Follow these instructions for the DIY bedside bench.
