If you've ever watched an episode of House Hunters,
you know how built-ins can make a first-time home buyer squeal (on a
scale of one to walk-in closets, they're probably about a seven). And we
completely understand how one could go go starry-eyed over a wall of
bookcases.
There's just something about their tidy finished look,
sturdy structure, and decorative details that make built-ins
swoon-worthy. But of course, like most things on our "someday list,"
they're not exactly cheap to install.
However, as many ingenious decor bloggers have demonstrated, when there is a will — and IKEA — there is a more affordable way.
IKEA furniture is known for its "hackability."
The pieces are generally inexpensive, and the fact that they come in a
million pieces is actually a plus when you're trying to customize
something for a particular space.
Often, with just a little trim, a
few extra nails, and a creative eye for design, you can turn what is
otherwise a wobbly bookcase or dresser into a beautiful built-in unit.
