Several Web sites publish ideas on how to use furniture from the chain store Ikea in creative, news ways under the name "Ikea Hacking". The Web sites publish pictures and guides on how to either use parts of Ikea furniture and build something new, or use existent Ikea items for things they were not originally intended for. The term hacking can have several meanings, but in furniture design it refers to creating a new design and function for a piece of furniture by making alternations to it.
