Every Dog Owner Should Know About These 11 IKEA Hacks

    Here's how to give your pup a truly modern home.

    1. First, turn the KALLAX shelf unit into a modern dog bed.

    2. Then, turn the EKBY JÄRPEN shelf and three BORRIS floor mats into a practical ramp for your dachshund (or any other dog with short legs and a desire to climb).

    3. The FAKTUM kitchen cabinet is perfectly suited as a raised and mess-proof food bar for large dogs.

    4. Does your dog love to look out the window? Build them a window seat from a MALM dresser. And you'll even get plenty of new storage space, too!

    5. Perfect for hot days: Turn the SORTERA recycling bin into an automatic water dispenser so your dog always has fresh drinking water when they're hanging out in the yard.

    6. The BESTÅ TV unit is the perfect thing to turn into a naptime sanctuary for your dog.

    7. If you own several dogs who are always sniffing out each others' food, a TROFAST shelving unit works as a wall-mounted feeding station with little privacy "partition" walls.

    8. Make a lil hangout spot for your pup to watch TV with you with two LACK coffee tables (which you can still use it as a coffee table for yourself).

    9. Are your cat and dog best friends? Let them sleep together in a bunk bed! You can easily build this yourself from two DUKTIG doll beds.

    10. How comfy does this mini dog house look? All you need is a cheap LACK side table, some fabric, and a beach mat to make it yourself.

    11. And if you want to build your dog their own little bedroom (!) with small sliding doors (!!!), you can easily do this with the MALM dressing table.
