10 fabulous ideas for the IKEA SNUDDA kitchen turntable
#1 A Kitchen Turntable
Firstly, of course as a kitchen turntable. It’s so simple, so cheap and so useful for the kitchen.
Glue a round tray like the SKALA on top of the the SNUDDA lazy susan and you’ll get a handy turntable to use in those hard to reach corners under the kitchen sink. Read more.
Also works beautifully in corner cabinets.

#2 Sunburst mirror
Monica from the magazine, Home by Sunset has two wonderful hacks using the IKEA SNUDDA.
You can make a unique round mirror to suit your home decor. Monica stuck wooden teardrops on the lazy susan and painted them white. Glue on the mirror last.
#3 Big red and baby blue clock
One IKEA SNUDDA lets you make two clocks. Not bad for a $13 item. Firstly, lightly sand the top and sides of the lazy susan. Decorate it the way you want to with wooden shapes, stencils, nails — it’s up to you. Paint and assemble the clock as per instructions.
#4 A cute side table with storage
Get a side table with storage in a few seconds. Just combine the RÅGKORN plant pot and the SNUDDA lazy susan. See more.
#5 Wood and metal side table
Another side table, this time combined with MARIUS Stool legs. See tutorial here.
#6 A decor piece
Create a unique piece with Scandinavian prints for a chaotic, whimsical art piece that’ll brighten your kitchen. See custom painted SNUDDA.
#7 A cat tree
The round discs of the SNUDDA is just right for a cat tree. Seen here with STOLMEN poles. Swap the discontinued poles with the ELVARLI. See the full tutorial here.

#9 Homework station
Decorate the turntable with paint and washi tape. Next, stick mason jars on top of the SNUDDA with fasteners. Then, fill the jars with stationery for your kids to grab and do their thing. See the full tutorial here.
#10 Wheels
Bet you never saw that coming. But the SNUDDA works as wheels in this coffee trolley table. The wheels are functional so you can move the trolley table around if needed. See the complete tutorial.
