IKEA furniture is known for its clean lines and basic design that allows itself to be hacked in many forms. The IKEA Malm bedroom series is full of modular pieces with various uses, but designing custom furniture brings a whole new sense of control into your space. 

The most personal room needs the most personalized furniture. Our dedicated Norse experts have gathered their favorite customer hacks to show some unexpected ways to transform your IKEA Malms. Check out these varying ways to customize your storage to fit your needs and style.

A 4-drawer oak Malm chest got a timeless Scandinavian upgrade from Visit Batch with white Eleanor drawer fronts and Elisabeth brass knobs. Creating that little bit of contrast using two neutral colors emphasizes the clean lines and crisp color palette.

 

Norse's white lace finish perfectly matches IKEA's white, so these Malm nightstands look sleek and monochromatic with our white Susan nightstand fronts and matte black Marlen knobs. This upgrade was done by our customer Marissa from Philadelphia, PA. 

 

For a bolder contrasting look, use a darker front finish like our customer Sam from Boston, MA. Our charcoal black Joan drawer fronts on an oak, or even white, Malm chest is a popular for more modern interior styles. Our matte black hardware, such as our Ingrid pulls have been our bestsellers this year. 

 

Seeing how customers make use of an older IKEA piece is always our favorite photos to get. Hunter from Phoenix, AZ had a discontinued dark brown Malm dresser and lightened it up with earthy sand Joan drawer fronts and black Marlen knobs. 

 

Professional DIYer and home blogger Ashely from Texas, also known as @Sugarandcloth on Instagram, added silver sage Astrid drawer fronts to Malm chests used as nightstands. These chests also have gold Kristina pulls for a touch of glamour. This was a great way to add a pop of color to a neutral room while creating a cohesive look.
