Ikea hacking: Low-cost, DIY movement finds new uses for furniture
Description
July 11, 2024

During times of economic hardships for many Canadians, people want to save money, but may not want to sacrifice personal style for their living spaces. As Alexia Kapralos explains, the grassroots Ikea Hacking movement involves building unique furniture pieces by repurposing inexpensive Ikea parts 鈥 and even gives it a try herself.
