Checking out the new 2015 IKEA catalogue (US version) for cool DIY or decorating tricks from their stylists is always a fun hobby in these parts when it first comes out. It seems this year they are really offering up a heap of tricks (obvious or not). Here’s a few that caught our eye!
1. Decoupage a Lampshade.
Not a new idea, but we like this idea for a craft room or workspace using newspaper gluing with Mod Podge to the REGOLIT lampshade.
2. Washi Tape a Table Top

3. Recycled Herb Garden
Make a budget-friendly (and cool-looking) herb garden using recycled plastic pop bottles.
4. Decoupage a Cupboard
Another cute idea tying in with the lampshade, decoupaging newsprint to the back of a cupboard. Shown: IVAR Cabinet.
5. Sew Storage Pockets

6. Make a Room Divider
An idea for a studio apartment or dorm. String fabric or yarn through a headboard to the ceiling to create an instant room divider. Shown: TARVA bed.
7. Plywood Pin Board
Great for spaces where you can’t attach things to the walls. Lean plywood and hang shelves, knobs and use as a pin board.
8. Make a Faux Wall

9. Keep Organized

10. Hide Clutter
A cool idea to hide clutter by using roll-down blinds. Add a little paint to give it a customized look. Shown: TUPPLER block out roller blind.
