2.  Hand Woven Chair Back

3. DIY - Build TV Bench + Cupboards
We love this low version of a fauxdenza, based on the floor and covered with cement tiles.  See more info at Livet Hemma. (By Pella Hedeby, Livet Hemma-redaktionen)



4.  Bedroom Lighting DIY
Make a DIY bedroom with smart LED light strip diodes.  The stylists painted pallets in white and attached LED light strips just below the rim. The homemade bed frame light up in the dark and creates an airy feeling in the bedroom. Cool.  Click here to see more.


5. FROSTA Stools DIY + Table Nook
We love what the Ikea stylists did with this little dining nook, painting a couple of FROSTA stools in different shades of blue, the NORBO leaf table and VALJE wall cabinet.  Click here to see more. (Anna Lenskog Belfrage, Livet Hemma redaktionen)

7.  Storage DIY

8.  Cohesive Shelving
We love these shelves painted the same colour as the wall. It adds a spacious, cohesive feeling. Click here for more info. (Photographer: Sandra Werud, Interior designer: Therese Ericsson).


9.  Suitcases as Storage
This isn't a new idea, but the way they've styled this - it's just so pretty!  See more storage ideas here.
