IKEA produces lots of stuff, and this is not only furniture, and today I’d like to share some ideas on IKEA boxes and ways to hack or use them at home. They can be hacked in various ways and used for storage or used in IKEA or other furniture to complete it. How? Take a look!
Knagglig Boxes
Knagglig by IKEA are basic pine boxes that can be used in tons of ways. First of all, as they are created for storage, you can of course use them for that – place toys, towels, pillows, blankets, books and documents and anything else that comes to your mind there. Wanna make your boxes more functional? Add casters and you’ll get mobile storage pieces! You may also build larger storage units of Knagglig and put them on the floor or save the floor space and attach them to the wall – decorate them with paint or stickers or add some retro wallpaper.
Knagglig boxes can be used to make other furniture pieces that will also include some storage space or evne not include if you don’t need that – you can just repurpose them into some other pieces. Knagglig are a great base for little stools and ottomans on casters – you can include some storage space inside or skip it, for side tables and even to make a drink station with much open storage.

Drona Boxes
IKEA Drona boxes are also storage items for books, clothes, toys and other items and they come in various colors. You may use them not only for storing things in various rooms but also to spruce up your furniture and make the storage more closed and more comfortable. Drona boxes seem to be created right for many IKEA Expedit, Kallax and many other items in various configurations and looks – you can easily insert the boxes into this furniture. The boxes themselves can be decorated with stickers, painting, labels, tassels and just handles to make it comfortable to pull them out.
