She spotted the $35 IKEA rattan basket and saw not just a basket but an opportunity: a side table waiting to be born! Her vision was a simple, rustic chic design that would blend seamlessly with her other home decor while serving as a functional piece of furniture.
After buying the basket, she literally flipped it upside down, removed the handles, then adhered to the tabletop. It's that simple.
She then added a simple wood round to the rattan basket. The glass was cut to the size of the basket's top to ensure a perfect fit. Not interested in a wood tabletop? Try glass, metal, or laminate instead - depending on what you have laying around.
Want more than a plain color? Try stenciling! Use a stencil overlay for designs like Moroccan tiles, mandalas, or florals. Choose contrasting paint colors for a pop on the table surface. Jazz up the table edge with decorative trim or a band of contrasting paint. You could even wrap it in a thin rope for a boho touch.
Want more storage? Connect two baskets - one on the other - creating a shelf-like setup before placing the tabletop.
And there you have it! An IKEA rattan basket transformed into a beautiful, rustic chic side table. Let's remember home decor and furniture transformation are not just about creativity—they're about personalization. They reflect your uniqueness, contributing to the comfort and vibe of your home.
After all, nothing beats the satisfaction derived from creating something beautiful and functional with your own two hands!
