Special students welcome at IKEA Singapore With the new 2016 IKEA catalogue hot off the press, and as tradition holds, it's always fun to find what cool decorating tricks and ideas are hidden within their pages. Hot Tub Jets Fall OutIt always takes a few flip-throughs to catch them all (little nuggets to be uncovered, stylist tricks and ideas to bookmark), here's some finds worth a mention.Ac Coil Cleaner Msds 1. Trick - Fabric Bed CanopyWhite Labrador Puppies Houston Tx Love this fabric idea to create a little cozy and private bedtime nook.  (Fabric - BERTA RUTA). 2. Trick - Adaptable Space The sofa below becomes the bed (above) at night using adaptable, movable furnishings. (LYCKSELE LOVAS sofa bed). 3. Find - Curtain Rod Set

No trick here, just a cool curtain rod set find.  4. Trick - Noticeboard Gathering Create one big notice board out of several small cork boards.  Create a table out of stools by piling them up. 6. Trick - Create a Washi Tape Backsplash A clever and low-cost way to personalize a space, using gold tape as a backsplash. We're thinking washi tape as a more temporary solution and not so scary on the paint. 7. Trick - Kitchen Cabinet Becomes Storage Bench Make a storage bench to create a cozy banquette in your dining area using kitchen cabinets and comfy cushions on top! 8. Trick - Make Plants Look Taller Make plants look taller or create more privacy by raising plants on lower tables indoor or out. 9. Trick - Light Up Put some light on the situation (your closet) to help the confusion of what's black and what's navy. 10. Trick - Open Up Leave your closet doors open and put them to use to showcase your favorite things. 11. Trick - Make a Faux Closet

Not a new IKEA trick (we've reported this a few years back), but not with shelving in the mix.  Put up floor to ceiling curtains, install shelving and create one side of a room (or nook) into a closet. 12. Trick - Cohesive Storage Make things look like they were meant to be together (or even one unit) by keeping things the same colour. Different shapes, even series look more cohesive by keeping them in the same hues. Add on as you need. 13. Trick - Make Ceilings Look Higher Draw the eye up by hanging art up high above doors and shelving.  Just make sure there is something underneath, otherwise it will look super silly. 14. Find - A Nice Home Office Space Just a nice space to work. 15. Find - Crates These KNAGGLIG boxes in natural wood make for a great way to hold all kinds of stuff. 16.  Trick - Rug Gathering Make a big rug out of small rugs by stitching them together. Create extra storage or a place to dry clothes by adding a shower curtain or two into the shower stall.

18.  Inspiration - Pink Tiles + Graffiti Bathroom Love this pink tiled bathroom with lipstick graffiti! 19.  Inspiration - Plants Everywhere Plants make a space happy. Stay organized making things also handy with this shelf and caddy bar. Hold things you use often, like utensils or pencils, crayons, and scissors for homework.

The best kinds of Ikea hacks, after all, are ones that don’t look “hacked.” They’re the ones that blend in so seamlessly and look so naturally awesome that you’d think they were made that way from the beginning. When Ashley asked me to write about my favorite Ikea hacks for kids’ rooms, I pored over post after post looking for just those kinds of projects. So, here are my top picks for the most stylish Ikea hacks for your little ones!

Fourteen projects that I hope will inspire you—along with their total cost: 1. My favorite Ikea hacks are always the simplest, and Kaley Ann’s hack of the LEKA baby gym is just that. Although bright and fun on its own, by repainting the activity pieces in black and white Kaley took the LEKA to a whole new level of chic. Total project cost: about $45 2. Queen of the California look, Sarah Sherman Samuel transformed a TARVA dresser for her baby boy’s nursery. The gorgeous color and hardware add instant glam, but the way she sawed the legs is what really makes this piece look authentically mid-century. (Tip: try using different hardware to lower this cost.) 3. If you’ve had a baby recently, you know that stylish rocking chairs are expeeeeensive. Liz of Explore Dream Discover used this tutorial to turn her STRANDMON wing chair into a rocking chair for her nursery. (Who knew you could buy rocking chair runners?!) 4. I’ve always loved Ikea’s curtains for their quality and price, but Ashleigh added extra cuteness to her LENDA curtains with DIY pom-pom trim.

Who doesn’t want a yummy pink donut rug? (It’s unclear which rug Brittany used last year, but the ÅDUM rug would certainly work now.) Total project cost: about $75 6. Why not turn a KALLAX shelving unit into a modern doll house with some fun wall decals or leftover scrapbook paper? Or use the STUVA wall cabinet, like in this example. 7. Charlotte’s Lovey’s take on the IKEA PS 2012 dresser is just too cute.  Although I love it plain, painting it in bright pastels and switching out the knobs makes it much more unique. And how awesome would it look with the donut rug? Total project cost: about $450 8. Rosandra Ferri’s Italian blog is a treasure trove of Ikea hacks—many of which are her own, all of which are adorable. I love the artwork display area she made using two packs of the LOSJÖN hangers and some twine.

And check out those toadstools! 9. So many Ikea dresser hacks, so little time.  This one from Erin Kelly is particularly gorgeous—can you believe this is the same TARVA dresser as number 2? That’s the beauty of Ikea products—they can be totally customized! 10. So…this is by far my favorite. I mean, come on. I want a stool-turned-desk-lamp, don’t you? Recreate it using the FROSTA stool and the SEKOND cord set.Turn a BEKVÄM spice rack upside down to hang your little one’s clothes. Extra points if you paint it with your wall color! via The Picket Fence Projects 12. Another great rocker project, this time with the EKTORP chair.  Caitlin and Chris turned this baby into a swivel rocker using this base. 13. If your kiddo has a few more clothes than can fit on number 11, why not attach a BYGEL rail to a LACK shelf like Tabitha did and call it a day? 14. Last but not least, I’m dying over these cloud wall shelves that were made using the MOSSLANDA picture ledge and some craft wood.
