All of the furniture pieces you're about to see started their life as humble, affordable flat-packs that have been elevated to a higher level. And the best bit… None of these IKEA hacks are difficult or time consuming.  This is D.I.Y. home decor for everyone!

 IKEA’s top selling Kallax has a myriad of uses

The IKEA Kallax range is one of the most popular of IKEA’s storage solutions. Its modularity makes it super flexible.  Lay it horizontally for sideboard styling, use a sixteen cube version as a room divider, stand it up for a bookcase or storage unit... The possibilities are endless. The cube design allows you to proudly display your favourite items or, with the addition of doors or boxes, to hide your clutter!  As well as being versatile, Kallax's clean, cubist design makes it a blank canvas ready for elevated styling - Hamptons, Boho Chic, Classic... whatever!

 Keep the IKEA functionality + add your personality

Your storage needs and budget are met by Kallax, but does it suit your interior design scheme?  Lux Hax Styl-Panels are designed to help integrate flat-pack furniture into any number of interior design styles with easy-to-apply customisaion panels that affix to the door-fronts of the IKEA Kallax system. Mirrored panels create a sense of luxury and opulence. White panels on white add elegance and texture - or they can be painted any colour you like.

‘Affordable Opulence’

Looking for hall table ideas? The sideboard styling on this credenza compliments the mirrored Styl-Panels and the pop of colour is the perfect final touch. IKEA Kallax has been elevated, literally and figuratively, with tapered legs and now makes a statement in this hallway, as well as providing much needed storage.
