We have seen a lot of Ikea hacks here at jamesandcatrin.com.

We always have a few Ikea hacks squirrelled away up our sleeves for posts like this.

These Ikea hacks are the ones that really caught our eye this year.

Ikea Kitchen Island Hack

Never-the-less, we are pleased it did occur to someone to create this awesome drinks trolley!

The Ikea Frosta stool is no longer available (whats the deal Ikea?)

but you should be able to find one knocking around on ebay or craigs list.

This nightstand fromThe Midkiff Houseis a great example.

They have simply stained it a darker shade and added some trendy black drawer pulls.

It looks amazing though!

Marble Top Side Table Hack

Hunkeralways have great projects, including Ikea hacks.

This stunning marble top side table hack is a really clever way to upgrade the Ikea Gladom table.

The final product is so glamorous!

Ikea Hemnes Mudroom Bench Hack

Everyone dreams of a mudroom (or is it just us?)

We love the panelled effect at the back and the overall style of this mini-mudroom.

Finished off with a nice solid wood wood bench, its a really good farmhouse style look.

It just takes a bit of patience and some paint to create these stylish boxes.

This gorgeous knitted stool cover fromKnit Knitis a great idea!

They have used the classic Frosta in this example but you could use almost any stool for this hack.

Perhaps the Kyrre would be a great option?

Its a really cosy look and totally changes the feel of the stool.

Ikea Kallax Card Catalog Style Storage

Moving onto something a little bigger.

This brilliant Ikea Kallax card catalog style unit fromIkeahackerslooks amazing!

Its a really easy hack too, as you might get the drawers with the Kallax.

Featured onNewniq, from Design Tanke, this wall sconce light is both versatile and beautiful.

Ikea Mirror Frame Cork Board Hack

We love the creativity behind this cork board hack fromIkeahackers.

If you have a large collection of corks (good work!)

and are wondering what to do with them, then here is your answer!

This cork board will make a stunning feature in any room and really livens up the family noticeboard!

This fantastic vertical garden idea fromHunkermakes use of a cheap Ikea bed base and Sunnersta hanging storage.

This would be great as a herb garden, succulent planter or anything your mind can imagine!

This sideboard is stunning and makes great use of the naturally good look of white and wood.

This gorgeous Ikea Ivar hack fromBurkatronmakes great use of cane webbing to create a bohemian style cabinet.

There is a little bit of work involved in this hack, but its well worth it.

The addition of the hairpin legs really finishes off the look beautifully.

DIY Industrial Wall Sconce Lighting

Another excellent lighting hack, this one fromLove Create Celebrate.

You dont always have to reinvent the wheel!

Its a very minimalist industrial look and would work in almost any setting.

Farmhouse Style Moving Kitchen Island Hack

This is a stunning Ikea hack fromA Piece Of Rainbow.

They have created an incredibly colourful and practical movable kitchen island from an Ikea kitchen cabinet.

The tutorial is really thorough if you want to create your own version.

These Ikea hacks are ones that weve been wanting to share for a long time.

I hope there is something here that can inspire you to create something amazing for your home.

Get them out and breathe new life into them!
