We all love a good Ikea hack, so when we discovered that the Swedish super store has been busy creating its own hacks, we had to explore further.

The hidden content is not actually secret if you’re Swedish, but for Australian consumers who only use the Australian IKEA website, the cache of ways to customise your Ikea furniture is a DIY-ers dream.

The only catch? The page is in Swedish, but that’s easily solved by hitting the ‘translate’ button in Google Chrome.

The ‘secret page’ is actually Livet Hemma, which loosely translates to “life at home” and it’s Ikea’s in-house blog. From styling ideas to seasonal stories, we can’t get enough of the hacks section.

Here, we’ve rounded up our three favourite hacks.
