Every living room, even the smallest, needs an ottoman, a footstool, or at least a floor pillow. If you don’t have one and aren’t ready to buy something, it’s high time to do it yourself! We have prepared a number of ideas for making your own IKEA items – renovating an existing item or creating a new IKEA item. Dive in!
IKEA ottoman and footstool hacks
Which IKEA items can you renovate? There are actually many ideas to choose from, but we chose IKEA Bosnas and Karlstad to show how to repeat them. If you take Bosnas, you can easily add a new protective cover that will perfectly match your interior. If you have a Karlstad handy, renovate it with whatever fabric you like. All other IKEA stools and footstools can be refreshed with new fabrics and spray paint – spray paint the legs if you have them.
Ottomans and stools made from IKEA items
If you don’t have a ready-made ottoman or ottoman handy, make your own with what you own! One of the most popular pieces for renovation is IKEA Lack coffee tables, which can be painted and upholstered to match your living room. You can also add a protective case if you need a very quick hack. IKEA Vittsjo tables are a great base to create a fresh and chic ottoman or even an upholstered bench. Add a padded cushion and spray paint the frame for a cool look. IKEA Knagglig boxes, IKEA Frosta stools and other items can be turned into stylish stools. You can also sew an ottoman using IKEA fabrics and inserts, or renovate an existing piece using IKEA fabrics or rugs. Add a touch of style to your living room!
