IKEA Idea of 2015 Well, well, well. I’ve got the list!

Yes, my list of favourite IKEA ideas for 2015 is out. These are my 10 favourites from over 600 hacks and ideas published last year. (I will be posting the top 10 IKEA hacks of 2015 tomorrow, so watch this space!) IKEA ideas, at least on this site, are easier, less heavy-duty hacking projects. I love IKEA ideas because some are so smart and some, too cute.

Don’t forget to vote for your favourite at the end of the post. Voting ends January 23, 2016, 11.30pm (EST time).

  1. All of these ideas have own target audience but of course it hit me: I’m in need of simple solutions for clothes, as “Bracket for clothes”, which is absolutely wonderful idea. I feel a bit stupid atm. I didn’t see that myself. =)

  3. These all are great ideas for all kind of people. Mothers & fathers probable need “Chip clips to the rescue”. Mountain bike owner who can’t have his bike anywhere else than at his flat definitely needs “Mount it on the wall”.
    In my culture, the way our apartment buildings have been build, give us a chance store bikes in to places that are build for them.

    And I definitely find “Trolley to foldable drying rack” useful. In many ways but also for laundry. =)
    These two are my fave. <3

    Congratulations, and thank you for sharing. 🙂
