8 DIY IKEA Hacks | Tips to Customize Ikea Furniture!

[@SmittenKitten.]

Umm... You guys are freaking geniuses. How is this even possible?? My husband builds furniture from scratch and I showed him these hacks and he was absolutely blown away. I think he was expecting the "typical fare" when it comes to Ikea hacks, so this was super surprising.

[@LindiandRuss]

Russel is motivated to keep costs down and I am motivated to make things pretty - these IKEA hacks are the result lol

[@SmittenKitten.]

@@LindiandRuss But your eye for beauty and color and shape are things I will never inherently have! I would so love to be able to do that!

[@lisareatherford8097]

I have to say I love everything you have shown , looks like your whole home is custom built

[@LindiandRuss]

We are really happy with how it turned out!

[@LindiandRuss]

Glad you found us! Thanks for watching!

[@moniquegreen861]

I cannot give you a specific Ikea hack that I love because I love them all. You have definitely inspired me!! Going to try the drawer fronts first. Thank you so much!!!

[@LindiandRuss]

Yay! Thank you!

[@kristaderksen3087]

Love it all! I really like the way you added the veneer to the Lack shelves. Looking forward to all your upcoming renos when you move!

[@LindiandRuss]

That was one of the first ones we did in this house! I’ve always loved it!

[@tracygong2369]

Love them all but for sure the long desk top is a winner.

[@LindiandRuss]

That was one of the first ones we did! I’ve always loved it! I may recreate the same space again in our next home!

[@tonyascott602]

Definitely next level! My favorite is the primary bathroom vanity!

[@LindiandRuss]

I looooove that one too! 🖤

[@amyweaver7413]

Wow - you have done so many great IKEA hacks. You have created such a beautiful home.

[@LindiandRuss]

I can’t wait to share the whole finished home tour with everyone! It’ll be beautiful!

[@jos-1994]

It's hard to chose a favorite but I will say your Son's closet set up with the dressers. It eliminates furniture in his room with plenty of easy access storage tucked away in the closet using the step stool. Can't believe you found about 10x of them at $20 each. Joke was on ikea. That was a steal 🙌🏼

[@LindiandRuss]

I love that space! It was a deal Russ just couldn’t pass up! 😂

[@logicalblueberry]

You guys are so adorable together. I love the way you take turns speaking and are so kind to one another. Your little boy is so cute too. I immediately subscribed and will look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your great ideas! God bless you and your family.

[@Rob-yu1lw]

What you two have done is absolutely fantastic!!! You turned Ikea pieces into custom looking pieces. You obviously work well as a team. I'm in Melbourne Australia and have seen lots of Ikea makeovers but none have come close to yours. I'm a new subscriber, so I'm going to be catching up on all of your videos. Thank you

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you so much! Such a huge compliment! We love having so many of these built-in custom looking pieces.

[@AmyManeelyPrescottRealEstate]

Hehe! Okay, I’m a Swedish speaker. “God Morgan” made me giggle. I know you wouldn’t know the pronunciation, but “god morgon” is a beautiful greeting meaning “good morning” and sounds like “goad morr OWN.” :) excellent video!

[@LindiandRuss]

Hahaha! I wish I knew that before I made the video!!

Wow y’all are goals - I don’t think I could even do one of these projects 😅😅

[@LindiandRuss]

You totally can! We have step-by-step instructions for all of them! 🖤

[@patriciacoco2665]

I honestly believe Ikea is for diy'ing. You get basic furniture and can make it however you want it, you can also keep it basic. But diy'ing Ikea gives you so many options. Amazing what you did. If you wouldn't have told me, I would believe you paid big money to have those things in the video look like this.

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! I totally agree with you - IKEA pieces are so versatile!

[@nicolebaker2488]

Great job! Definitely great tips!

[@LindiandRuss]

Glad you liked it!!

[@michellemeuleman385]

Loved them all ❤

[@LindiandRuss]

awesome!

[@Beni-zl4bf]

Where did you got those drawers from? the little wood things with the gap between them looks awesome

[@LindiandRuss]

The drawers are apart of the MALM dresser, the drawer fronts we custom made and we did an entire video on it. The video is linked in the description under "Ikea built-ins". Thanks!

[@Beni-zl4bf]

My Ikea organization hack: I use the sturdy cardboard pieces in the packaging to divide the drawers. Just cut and put it in.

[@LindiandRuss]

That’s so smart!! ❤️

[@cyber5006]

I am absolutely loving your hacks. just now sub'd waiting for more.

[@nanr8613]

Where did you get the fronts for your malm drawers, I have them and I want to the same thing you did.

[@LindiandRuss]

All the fronts on the Malm ones were custom made by us out of MDF! You can see the full builds on the individual videos linked in the description.

[@fatvegan4621]

At 10:05 where did you guys get the mirrors and how did you guys do the concrete call finish?

[@LindiandRuss]

All the details and links are in our video "Extreme Bathroom Remodel | Full Before and After Renovation and Reveal!" for that bathroom space :)

[@katkat5420]

I know this is an older video, but what is and where did you get the wall covering behind the shelves?

[@LindiandRuss]

we did it ourselves, search "Easy DIY Vertical Shiplap Wall" on our channel and you can see the tutorial of how we did it. Thanks for watching!

[@petinathomas6096]

Omg the both of you are amazing with great ideas and problem solving. Uhmmmmm could I borrow your husband (for like a week) I promise to give him back!

[@LindiandRuss]

ha ha ha, if only we could clone him! Happy Holidays!

[@bomisosatori9906]

Love Ikea, but they suck when it comes to celing lamps amd drain in the bathroom and kitchen sinks dont now why, only redeeming thing in the kitchen is the rubber hose rather than a solid metal drain. The makeovers where great

[@LindiandRuss]

Thanks!

[@Pinkorchid72]

Can you IKEA hack my home interior design?

[@LindiandRuss]

So we will be offering E-Design services through our website :)

[@jakitaprice9633]

What in the world do you two do for a living🤔 because your home is HUGE

[@LindiandRuss]

We have a KZbin channel and DIY blog :) You can see it all transform on our channel :)

[@jameskirk1638]

All the "hacks" are great but, when you add up the cost of all the extra materials, fancy tools that most of us don't own and will most likely have to buy or rent, you may end up spending the same, or close to the amount of money just having things custom built.

[@LindiandRuss]

Respectfully totally disagree! If you spend money on a tool, you can use that tool indefinitely! All of these tools can be used for countless projects. But even if you did factor in the full tool cost, and extra materials, most of these are still waaaay under a custom build cost! Get a quote and compare it!

[@druth72]

I like to going to the ikea as-is every week to find some good finds. But now that ikea raised their prices like they are custom pieces😡😡😡 I might once or twice a year 🥺

[@LindiandRuss]

Oh we haven't been in a bit - did they raise them alot?
