Ikea Shelf Style: Hacks and Inspiration!

For the past few months, I’ve been inviting various friends, family, fans, and complete randoms, to share their Ikea Shelf Style with us.

(By the way, I’m always looking for new talent, so if you have one of those cube shelves – it doesn’t even have to be Ikea! – in your life, drop me a line right now!)

So far we’ve seen “those” shelves in family rooms, dining rooms, master bedrooms, entries and hallways, craft rooms and children’s rooms. (I’m still hoping to feature some in a bathroom, but alas it hasn’t happened yet.)

We’ve seen them in white, black, and every colour in between – including some that had received a bit of a makeover using chalk paint.

My only regret is that I have likely shot myself in the foot, and can forget about Super Amart approaching me any time soon to do a collaboration like I’ve seen on other blogs … 🙁 (Although we have had at least one guest show off their Amart version of the famous shelves, due to living over a thousand kilometres from the nearest Ikea!).

At the moment, I’ve run out of guinea pigs lovely people to share their Ikea shelf style with us, so desperate times call for desperate measures. I turned to Pinterest, and found a multitude of great hacks and inspiration. Here are some of my favourites:
