"After spending hours wandering the merchandise-laden levels, it's easy to leave the Swedish design store feeling inspired by creative ideas for every room. Whether you need to outfit a full kitchen or pick up a few items to complete a dorm room, IKEA has you covered. But there's one section that might be especially inspiring for DIYers: the as-is section, right before you reach the checkout."
"The IVAR is a staple for many DIYers, whether they're outfitting a pantry or adding extra bathroom storage. "It's solid pine, so it's sturdy and one of the most versatile pieces of furniture at IKEA," says Kim Bui, the DIY blogger behind XO My Home. These cupboards are the perfect blank canvas and can add storage to just about any room in your home. Plus, they're easy to personalize."
The IKEA as-is section contains discounted, scratch-and-dent merchandise located near checkout and can be previewed online for local stores. The pine IVAR cabinet is solid pine, sturdy, and highly versatile for storage uses like pantries or bathrooms. Painting and adding hardware can transform the cabinet into a higher-end piece. Two IVAR cabinets can form a base for an art-and-craft table and accept decorative decals. Discontinued cabinetry lines and other imperfect items in the as-is area often present inexpensive opportunities for DIY customization and repurposing to fit various rooms and needs.
