DIY A Gorgeous Entryway Table Using An IKEA Staple

While high-end furniture looks nice, it can be hard to justify if you're on a budget. However, if you're looking to transform your entryway into a luxurious space, one low-cost option by @treshaja on YouTube could be just what you need to spruce up your space. Rather than adding a plain cabinet, you can simply use some wood and paint to give a complete luxurious makeover to an IKEA BESTÅ cabinet. As a result, you should be left with a piece of furniture that looks chic yet high-end — perfect for any entryway. What more could you ask for?

Of course, this table is a great option if you don't want to splash the cash and are looking for a piece that will make an impact. All you need is a few items and your own DIY skills, and you should be ready. So, how exactly do you craft this beautiful design? For this hack, you'll need an IKEA BESTÅ drawer to suit your space requirements, some paint of your choice, wood glue and filler, and some long strips of wood at least 2 inches in width that you can cut to size. Let's take a look.

First, you need to plan out your design using a wood strip and pencil on your doors, which you can detach from your drawer before starting your project. For this particular hack, you can make an arch-like shape using your wood with your lines and experiment with horizontal or vertical lines for your middle section. Once you map out your design, all you need to do is cut the wood strips to size and stick them on using your wood adhesive glue. Just be patient and ensure that you get it in the correct position; otherwise, it will be difficult to rectify, as you won't be able to remove your glue once it's dry.   

Now, it's time for the final steps. Simply take your filler to correct any blips and then apply some chalk paint. However, you can always choose your own color paint to suit your interior. Once everything is in place and dry, reattach each door to your IKEA BESTÅ drawer, leaving you with an eye-catching yet luxurious piece ready to slot into your entryway. The reason why this hack works so well is because the wood helps to create a unique design where it would otherwise be plain. This makes it look much more pricey than it actually is.
