These IKEA Micke desk hacks will get you excited
We all know that IKEA are great at supplying us with robust furniture at relatively low cost. The issue is that the sheer volume of IKEA furniture they retail, makes it seem very generic…you see it everywhere. One of these popular items is the Micke desk, but there are things we can do to make them a little more special. In this article, we will look at IKEA Micke desk hacks and some of the things we can do to make them a little more personal.
Listen to this post…
What is a IKEA Micke hack?
An IKEA hack can transform the most basic of furniture. In fact, there is a community of IKEA hackers that love nothing better than up-cycling and adding value to their DIY desk. A DIY IKEA desk hack is no different, there are plenty of examples to inspire you. It is genuinely a great idea.
Whether you bought your Micke desk as a personal space or an office desk, you have a range of options open to you. Whether you are looking to convert your Micke desk into a standing desk, a floating desk, add some sides to transform it into a corner desk or shaped desk, convert the table leg to to trestles leg or hairpin legs, they are all viable options for a trestle table. Consider adding a plywood top for a more robust finish.
Upgrading to create some great Micke desk ideas
There are upgrades that are open to you without transforming the actual desk. Such upgrades are an DIY project and include adding handles, casters, upgrading the drawer unit with soft close hinges and drawer stops, or changing the color of the front of drawer.
Your IKEA desk setup can look very personal with little effort. Add a keyboard tray, shelves and desk lamp for a very modern desk.
It also combines perfectly with other IKEA product ranges, especially IKEA shelf products. The IKEA Lack shelf is a popular addition and works perfectly placed over the slim desk.
Obviously, there are a number of IKEA shelving solutions available. The IKEA Alex drawer unit is also another popular favorite, adding some much needed storage space. The IKEA malm dresser range is also useful for adding further units.
For more ideas, consider the Lerberg trestle leg, Finnvard trestle and Linnmon desk products for trestle and desktop ideas. Let’s get into some IKEA Micke desk ideas.
