Bekvam step stool IKEA hacks<\/h2>\n

The Bekvam step stool is one of the most versatile pieces of furniture in their range when it comes to kid\u2019s rooms. With a retail price of $17.99 (IKEA<\/a>), it\u2019s an absolute steal. Have a look at these inventive hacks for using it.<\/p>\n

Small toy storage on a magnetic knife rack<\/h2>\n

Sick of stepping on little toy cars that feel like they go straight through your foot? You are saved! The Grundtal magnetic knife rack is a storage savior for little metal based toys like cars and trains. Kids love magnets, so picking up after themselves is a more likely event with this little IKEA hack (sadly, it won\u2019t work on LEGO). It\u2019s only $14.99 (IKEA<\/a>) and is easy to attach to your kid\u2019s bedroom wall.<\/p>\n

Store books on a spice rack<\/h2>\n

One of the most popular IKEA hacks around (for a good reason) is using the Bekvam spice rack ($3.99 at IKEA<\/a>) to store and display children’s books. It\u2019s solid wood and can easily be painted and mounted as a cute little book shelf to walls, doors, above the bed head, etc.<\/p>\n

Kura bed\u00a0IKEA hacks<\/h2>\n

Have you got little angels who don\u2019t want to go to bed? \u00a0Make bedtime something they look forward to by creating something unique and fun with the Kura bed. The Kura Reversible bed frame is $299 (IKEA<\/a>, mattress sold separately). It can be flipped upside down to convert from a low to high bed. IKEA sell bed tents, but we know you can get much more creative than that \u2013 all you need is some inspiration, paint, wall paper and fun linen!<\/p>\n

If the thought of putting together an IKEA flat pack is daunting for you, why not hire an Airtasker to do the assembly<\/a> for you?<\/em><\/p>\n

Change table IKEA hack<\/h2>\n

A great IKEA hack for nurseries is to use the Tarva chest of drawers as a change table (starting from $129, IKEA<\/a>). The 3 and 6 drawer options are both the perfect height for changing your baby, and the drawers can be used as storage for nappies and creams.<\/p>\n

Storage with the Kallax shelf<\/h2>\n

Parents in the know love using the Kallax shelving system to create storage for toys and other bedroom items. Having the Kallax on it\u2019s side makes it easier for little ones to reach their favourite play items, and you can place a small mattress on top to create a reading nook. The Kallax comes in a range of configurations (starting from $69, IKEA<\/a>) and can be stacked, painted and given inserts to make organisation easier.<\/p>\n

IKEA DIY rocking chair<\/h2>\n

This rocking chair hack is an incredible money saving idea! \u00a0Instead of purchasing a rocking chair with a hefty price tag, why not make your own? IKEA has a great range of comfortable chairs available. Pick yours, then order some rocking chair runners online and attach them yourself.<\/p>\n

If this task seems a little outside of your skillset, Airtasker have some great handymen<\/a> who could do the job in no time.<\/em><\/p>\n
