Wingback rocking chair
If you've been eyeing those gorgeous wingback rockers but can't bear the exorbitant prices, this hack is for you. Interiors by Kenz takes the stationary Ikea Strandmon chair and adds wood rocking chair runners to make it a one-stop baby soothing machine that's easy on the eyes to boot.

Spice rack bookshelf
Yes, you read that right. Spice racks. Totally amazing, right? Simply paint the unfinished Ikea Bekvam racks the color of your choice and mount them on the wall. Use one or more for your own customized bookshelf corner. And at $5 a shelf, you can really go all out.

Customized co-sleeper
Searching high and low for a co-sleeper that doesn't look so much like a … well … co-sleeper? Check out this stunning hack over at Ikea Hackers on morphing the Ikea Singlar crib into a sleek co-sleeper.

Exposed closet
Take one Ikea Lack shelf and screw a simple rail to the bottom and, voila! Instant exposed closet! Stack books and other cute knickknacks on top, and use the rail to hang your favorite baby clothes. Decorative and functional—it doesn't get much better (or easier) than that, and at a total cost of $23 it's also super affordable.

Pom-pom curtains
A quick and easy way to brighten up the nursery is to add some colorful trim to plain white curtains like the Ikea Teresia. The pom-poms add a touch of whimsy, and the colors can be customized to complement your wall color.
