Style Your Home Like Drew And Jonathan With These Property Brothers-Inspired IKEA Hacks

Drew and Jonathan Scott are our favorite home renovation twins. While they prioritize function, they also deliver on distinct modern designs. You probably can't hire the pair to redecorate your home, but you can make it look like they designed your space at an affordable price by following some of these Drew and Jonathan-inspired IKEA hacks. There is something for every room, from greenhouses to lighting to statement fixtures. Upcycle inexpensive furniture and decor from the Swedish retail giant into luxury pieces, embracing the brothers' contemporary style.

In an interview with Native Trails, Drew shared, "Every single kitchen we do is different. Every bathroom is different because every house is different, and that's where you get to let loose and have fun." Therefore, while their signature includes a bright, contemporary design with a touch of rustic flare, each interior makeover also highlights the unique character of the space and occupants. Because of this, while following these IKEA hacks, don't forget to embrace your style to create a Property Brothers-approved look that also fits your personality.

A white dresser with long brass handles screams modern and fresh, the exact style that the Scott brothers adore. Get the look with IKEA's MALM dresser, GRIBBOL handles, MDF board, wood trim, wood glue, and white paint. First, cut the trim at a 45-degree angle to create a frame around each drawer and attach it with wood glue. Do the same with the MDF board to frame the sides of the dresser. Once all the framing is attached, paint the piece and add the handles. It will brighten up the space instantly.

Drew and Jonathan Scott love a statement piece. You can create one that would be perfect for any room with two of IKEA's IVAR cabinets and MDF boards. First, assemble the cupboard. Next, cut eight quarter-circle pieces out of the wood board that equal the length of one of the cabinet doors. Attach the pieces to the top and bottom face of each cabinet, then prime and paint. Personalize your sideboard by substituting the quarter-circle for triangles, squiggles, or any other shape you'd like. When painted a neutral shade, this piece will still look contemporary without appearing too whimsical.

Another statement piece you can use as a sideboard or TV stand features the BESTÅ unit and TIMMERVIKEN doors. We're cutting half-ovals in the doors and filling them with cane webbing for a high-end rustic look. First, trace where you need to cut each door before sawing your outline. A jigsaw power tool is best for the job. Next, soak the cane sheets in water for 30 minutes to soften them up. Then, cut the cane to fit the door and staple it on from the inside. Let it dry and attach the doors to the BESTÅ unit. Its asymmetrical look will add dimension to any room.

Turn IKEA's SIMRISHAMN table lamp into a luxury piece with marble contact paper. Cover the base in the contact paper, making a slit for the wire to go through. You can cut off the excess paper with a utility knife to ensure straight lines along the edges. Next, spray paint the silver hardware. A gold or brass shade will pair best with a warm-toned marble look, while black or the original silver may match cool-toned marble better. Add your bulbs, and you're done. You can pull off the same look with the SIMRISHAMN pendant lamp or chandelier for a grander light piece.

The wood LACK coffee table is getting a concrete facelift. For this makeover, you'll need a 48-inch concrete form tube, patch cement (available at Home Depot), water sealant, and gorilla glue. First, remove the legs and bottom shelf from the LACK table, then cut the tube into three 16-inch pieces for the new table legs. Sand down the table, then cover it and the legs with the cement. Once dry, sand it down again, attach the legs to the table with glue, and spray the whole piece with the water sealant. You'll have the design of modern concrete with the benefit of a lightweight table.

What's more of a contemporary statement piece than an interior garden? Flowers and foliage add life to your home, literally and figuratively. The IKEA MILSBO cabinet is the perfect base to create your own indoor greenhouse for tropical plants. The glass shelves give it a clean look, and there's ample space inside. You'll need a mini fan for airflow, a thermohygrometer to keep track of humidity and temperature, grow lights to mimic sunshine, and weather strips to trap the humidity. Since the MILSBO is metal, you can attach everything with magnets for easy installation. Then, you'll have a tropical jungle that is sure to capture attention.

Turn a picture frame into an upscale floating table with IKEA's HOVSTA. First, remove the backing of the photo frame and attach your desired backdrop. You can use a picture, wallpaper, wrapping paper, fabric, or anything else that captures your style. Return the backing and glue the stand in place. Next, screw C-hooks to the center of each side for four hooks in total. Finally, tie ribbon, yarn, or twine to the hooks and hang your floating table from a hook in the ceiling. It won't hold a lot of weight, so only use light decor pieces on top.

This two-tier jute chandelier highlights the brothers' modern but rustic style and requires the RINGSTA 17-inch and 13-inch shades. You can go for one tier and pick your desired size, but the double shades emphasize the style factor. Glue one end of jute twine to the inside of one shade and wrap the string around the feature from top to bottom, adding glue to the inside every few inches of string — then repeat for the other shade. Next, place the smaller one inside the larger one. Attach them together by tying four-inch pieces of twine between their metal bars, then add the bulb.

The KYRRE stool is a popular item from IKEA, but we're giving it a modern makeover with cane webbing and spline reed. With the woven material, we'll add a backrest to turn it into a sculpted chair. After soaking the cane for 30 minutes and the spline for 15 minutes, glue a sizeable sheet of cane to the backside of the seat, then add an arch of spline to the top edge of the cane sheet with glue. Cut off any excess cane and add another spline reed to the backside. Finally, wrap the ends of the spline underneath the seat and secure them with staples.

Built-in shelves have an elegant look to them. If your home didn't come with its very own structured shelving for displaying books and decor, you can DIY it with BILLY bookcases. Get enough BILLYs to line the wall you'll recreate. Evenly space them out and fill the gaps with plywood before drilling them into place. You may need height extension shelves for the bookcases to reach your ceiling. Then, nail molding to the top of the structure and paint the piece one of the Property Brothers' favorite timeless paint colors. To elevate your built-ins, attach archways cut from plywood before painting.

A storage bench in the entryway is a great use of space that's both stylish and functional. Because The Property Brothers prioritize functionality, they'd approve of this piece. You'll need the KALLAX storage unit, paint, fabric, foam, and a wood board. First, cut the wood board the same size as the KALLAX, then attach a thick foam sheet and cover it in your preferred fabric to make the seat. Repeat the same steps to make a backrest. Next, paint the KALLAX your preferred color and attach the seating. You can add doors or baskets to the shelves to elevate the piece or leave it as-is.
