IKEA Hack: Transforming Expedit Cubes into Industrial Storage for a Child’s Room
I love IKEA, but an IKEA hack makes my day!
Recently I moved homes, and started decorating my son’s room (of course first!). I went for an industrial theme; which required lots of DIY as decor for this look is expensive! His room is rather small so clothing storage proved challenging; therefore I chose an open clothes closet solution as this opened out his room space further. Additionally, I came up with a brilliant hack of an IKEA Expedit cube which had originally been intended for discarding!
Sand an IKEA cube down with either paper or sander – I used my sander here – until the surface is sufficiently roughened up so paint will adhere better. Hammer nail heads into place for faux rivets – I purchased mine off eBay!
