#33 Giving old Ikea furniture a facelift
As a popular furniture retailer, Ikea has produced many iconic pieces over the years. Some of which have been phased out and are no longer available today. For those who have managed to hold on to these classics, they have something truly special on their hands. These vintage pieces are a reminder of the design trends and tastes of the past. They carry a unique charm that sets them apart from modern furniture.
One homeowner who recognized the value of vintage Ikea furniture is the owner of an old Expedit unit. Rather than throwing it away, they decided to give it a much-needed facelift by adding LED stripes to the back. The result was a transformed and eye-catching piece that now serves as a display case for their souvenir collection and storage for a few other loose items. This creative idea is a perfect example of how vintage furniture can be repurposed and given new life with a little bit of imagination and some DIY skills. By upcycling their old Expedit unit, this homeowner has not only kept a valuable piece of furniture out of the landfill. But they have also created a stunning and unique addition to their home decor.
