Small apartments don’t give us a chance to get creative with the interior design, especially when it comes to the bedroom where we have to fit all of our personal belongings. Luckily, the internet is full of genius IKEA hacks that will help make small spaces more functional and organized. Here are three great IKEA hacks you can try.

Why IKEA Hacks Work

In IKEA, you can find pretty much everything you need for your home improvement needs. The prices are reasonable, and they have a wide variety of color and design options. Plus, you can get a lot of home inspiration from their physical stores and their website.

If you have limited storage space, you don’t have to opt for huge wardrobes that will only make the room look smaller. Instead, bookend a desk with taller storage pieces, like a wide BILLY bookcase for your shoes and a freestanding BRIMNES wardrobe. This way, your bedroom will look unique and a lot more spacious.

Create Dual-Function Hidden Storage

This one is one of the best IKEA hacks you’ll come across. Mirrors of all sizes can make any room look a lot more spacious than it actually is. Not only that, but they also look elegant, and you can store all kinds of items behind them.

Invest in an IKEA full-length mirror and turn it into a sophisticated jewelry storage. You can build a small frame behind the mirror and add hinges to it so it can look like a door.

Take Advantage of Monochrome Color Schemes

The IKEA BRIMNES bed is perfect for small bedrooms as it has two storage drawers on the sides. You also get a headboard that serves as a small bookcase. Here’s one of our favorite IKEA hacks: change the color.

The original one can be either white or dark brown-black. However, if you keep it this way, the bed will stand out and look as if it takes up too much space. What you can do is paint it in a similar color to your walls so the frame blends in seamlessly.
