How to upgrade IKEA stools: 18 ideas for you

Budget stools from IKEA are in almost every home. If yours are already on the edge of destruction, we suggest changing them beyond recognition. Make it very easy!

1. Marius chair with fur cushion

This is the most budgetary chair from the entire range of the Swedish brand. And it can easily be turned into a sophisticated and fashionable seat with a fur cushion. It is enough to paint the stool with spray paint for metal surfaces and attach the fur “skin”. 

2. Aged stool “Frost”

In order to repeat this experience, you will need sandpaper and wood varnish. Treat the surface of the stool and then fix it with varnish. Done – a stylish stool can be used as a table, it will definitely fit into any style of the room. 

3. Bench from stools “Frost”

The same “Frost”, only in a different version. This time, the designer painted three stools the same color and tied them with string. It turned out quite authentic and stylish. 

4. Frost stool with a tray-top 

Remove the tabletop from the stool and glue it on a stylish tray. You will have a great breakfast table. In addition, the legs can be painted in the desired color. 

5. Frost stools converted into a table with sliding tops 

From budget stools, you can get a stylish colored table with mid-century modern aesthetics. True, only countertops are used from IKEA stools. Paint them in your favorite colors, even the same ones, and attach them to the rack. And install the entire structure on several legs. 

6  Children’s chair “Antilop” with painting 

Young parents who want to diversify children’s furniture can take advantage of this idea. It is enough to take paint for metal (legs) and plastic (back). And then – a matter of your imagination. For example, here the parents chose a cute panda for drawing. 

7Stand for newspapers from the stool “Frosta”

Sometimes it’s enough to look at things from a different angle. Nothing was done to this stool, except that it was turned upside down. 

8. Frosta stool with soft seat 

Take foam rubber and your favorite fabric with a pattern, you will also need a construction stapler. Lay the foam rubber on the seat, cover it with a cloth, and secure it with staples using a stapler. The stylish stool is ready! 

9. Table with a geometric ornament from the Frosta stool

With skillful hands, an ordinary stool can turn into a stylish table. To do this, you need to paint the table top (you can also use stickers) and fix the legs as shown in the photo. Look at the result.

10. Stool “Marius” in industrial style

The usual black stool “Marius” and outdoor tiles give such an interesting result. It can be used for an open balcony or terrace in the country.

11. Stool “Marius” with wooden top 

The chair can be painted the color you want or left as is (IKEA now offers 3 colors: red, black, and white) and then put a piece of wood on top. 

12. Stool “Oddvar”, turned into a children’s toy 

These resourceful parents made a kind of children’s kitchen out of an ordinary wooden stool. 

13. Frosta stool with knitted cover 

Another easy way to transform an ordinary stool is to knit a cover. If it seems to you that this is a “grandmother’s option”, take a closer look at modern boho-style interiors. Such style techniques are at the peak of fashion. 

14. Transformed stool “Frosta”

It seems that only the geniuses of engineering thought could come up with this and bring it to life. But in fact, here they just unscrewed 3 legs and attached them to the remaining one. It is convenient to attach such a chair directly to the sofa. 

15. Frosta stool converted into a lamp stand

As you can see, you can completely change the purpose of the stool. The seat turns into a stand, and the legs into a frame. It remains to stretch the cord with the lamp, and you’re done. 

16. Transformed stool “Oddvar”

An ordinary wooden stool can become a bedside table. To do this, it is enough to paint it. 

17. Transformed step stool

For a long time, IKEA had Bekvam step-stools in its assortment – they were often bought for children so that they could comfortably stand at the sink or table. Now they have been temporarily removed from the website of the Swedish brand and replaced with analogs – the adult Bekvam ladder and the Masterby ladder stool. 

They can be transformed in the following way – paste over with pieces of wallpaper. Then boring plain wooden stools will sparkle with new colors. 

18. Stool as a flower stand 

The same step stools can be used as tables for green plants in your home. So flower pots will look much more aesthetically pleasing.
