The beauty of Ikea lies in its infinite possibilities. You can furnish your entire home from scratch with minimalist products that look way more expensive than they actually are. But, the ubiquity of this Swedish home brand brings about another dilemma: Your apartment will look like carbon copies of everyone else's. This isn't really a big deal, but it can be somewhat awkward to spot an identical MALM dresser or area rug in your friend's living room.

Luckily, Pinterest is here to offer up a genius workaround for the problem. The idea discovery platform is a great resource for easy tutorials that can elevate the look and function of even the most basic household item. With the help of simple tools and an inventive streak, your Ikea piece will shine like a rare designer find. Ahead, we've scoured 10 of the best Pinterest hacks to transform your home into a dreamy design catalogue.
