Hide A Boring Pedestal Sink With This Stunning IKEA GODMORGON Storage Hack

While pedestal sinks get the job done, you may find that it's not the most aesthetically pleasing option, especially if you have a particular vision for your bathroom. However, rather than splashing the cash on a pricey renovation, you could hide the bottom half using this stunning IKEA GODMORGAN storage hack, as shown by @rebecca_propes on TikTok. By propping it in front of your sink and adding your own finishing touches, you'll be left with a stylish result that completely masks how it looked before — what more could you ask for? Not only is this a cheap way to upgrade the look of your bathroom, but it also creates a handy space for stowing items away.

All you'll need is a GODMORGON unit from IKEA for $329, some floral wood accent from Lowe's for $45, some paint in the color of your choice, a saw, a nail gun, strong adhesive, a wooden slab, and some wooden legs to prop it up, whether you buy them separately, or upcycle an old table that fits the right measurements. If you want to purchase the wooden legs separately, you can find some for $35.99 off Amazon. Just make sure whatever you choose will allow your drawers to stand at the correct height. Likewise, if you want a cheaper set of drawers, you could always get a different version of the GODMORGON for $199.

To update your drawer hardware, start by measuring their size and cutting your decorative layer using your saw, making sure to make one piece per drawer. The decorative layer can either cover the whole front of each one or partially — it all depends on what look you want to go for. If you want to add some wood around the border of your design, you'll need to cut these to size, too, so you're left with four separate pieces. You should ensure it all fits in place, or you may have a wonky result. Once you're happy, you can glue all the pieces down with your adhesive, using your nail gun to secure it before painting it. Through each step of this process, you should wait for your product to fully dry before moving on to the next stage.

When it's complete, simply attach the wooden legs to the bottom of your unit and slide your new drawers into place, or alternatively, you can mount it to your wall. It will all depend on the style and height of your pedestal sink. As a result, you should be left with stylish storage that hides the former design, making your bathroom look much more appealing.

While there's no denying the design in the TikTok looks fabulous, there are plenty of other ways you can customize your drawers too. For example, use some wooden slat material to go over the top of them, which is available for $51.20 at Hardware Hut, and combine it with some marble over the top (with a cutout for your sink) to complete the look. You could also experiment with other materials, such as this rattan for $14.99 off Amazon, or something more daring, such as this floral vinyl for $14.99 on Amazon. Some other options include this marble effect from Home Depot for 14.99. In addition to these changes, try swapping out the cabinet handles to add some extra "oomph" to the piece. Of course, you could paint any of these materials in any color you want, too, to easily make it fit with the rest of your bathroom interior.

The reason why this hack works so well is because the size of the cabinet helps to cover up the design of the original sink instead of replacing it with your very own custom built-in piece. This makes it much more appealing to look at overall and can help you create the look of your dreams. Now, it's time to get DIY'ing your custom drawer storage.
