Its no secret that IKEA is the go-to place for budget pieces that can be transformed.
This is especially true for many furniture essentials includingnightstands.
Some of IKEAs most popular nightstands offer so much potential for becoming a completely new piece.

Trying to get your hands on original pieces though can be tricky and expensive.
Here its been given a modern farmhouse look with the addition of molding and some elegant brass handles.
Lyndsey from@homebylyndseybought the Malm tables pre-loved making this a very budget-friendly hack.

The Tarva nightstand doesnt always have to be a bedside companion.
Here its been used to create handy under-desk storage by InstagrammerAutumn.

Finally, its been painted in the prettiest shade of mint green.
This wall-mounted Tarva would also work really well as a bedside unit, especially in smaller bedrooms.
When Karisa fromPetite Modern Lifewanted the look, she decided tohack the IKEA Tarvanightstand with some paint and stain.

She finished the look with paint and some dark wood stain to add contrast to the white.
She also pained the table in a pastel pink shade, making the piece even cuter.
This table would look equally cute in anypastel shadeunder the sun.
