IKEA has the ability to help us in many ways, from organising our homes, our kitchen, and even down to our car! Some may argue that shopping at IKEA means that you’re going to get mass produced furniture and fittings without much character or charm.

While that may be true if you compare them to vintage pieces, but there is one thing that the modern-day family love – it’s the functionality of IKEA that is so appealing. Not only do the look good, but it serves a purpose too!

Here are some great hacks that transform IKEA products into a multi-purpose solution for your everyday needs:
