In this article, I will showcase some real world examples of IKEA Trones hacks.

The first question that we need to establish is what an IKEA Trones is. Originally, this IKEA product was designed as shoe storage, holding three pairs of shoes.
They were a way of hiding them away so that your environment looks a little cleaner. Wall hung, they proved incredibly popular and at a relatively low cost too. Their functionality and style meant that people started finding other uses…let’s take a look at some of them.
Since you are here…can I ask a favor?

IKEA Trones are simple to paint. Most people prefer to use spray paints. You need to prime them first before adding a couple of coats of your final spray paint finish. If you want to do a more thorough job, i would recommend that you ‘key’ it first which gives it a better surface to hold the paint. This is simply giving the surface a light sandpapering before you prime it.
