- Jazz It Up with Contact Paper. It's the small changes that make the biggest difference. For this hack, blogger Carrie Waller of Dream Green DIY simply added a stained wood top and some contact paper to her EKET storage cabinet.
- Replace the Top. Most of the cabinets in the EKET series are push to open, but when you have the opportunity to install gorgeous gold handles, it's hard to pass up.
- Make a Slim Console Table. If you need something slim to save space in an entryway, consider turning the EKET cabinet on its side. You can remove the interior shelves, turn it so the door opens down, and add some legs for a secretary desk-style console table.

- Install a Secret Door. For those who find a way to integrate their fur babies into all aspects of their home, this cabinet-turned-pet-motel is a dream. A subtle addition of a pet door on the side of this Besta cabinet creates a secret sanctuary for your pet, without cramping your style.
- Turn It Into a Desk. When you work from home, plenty of storage and a large workspace are the keys to productivity. Creating a makeshift desk with two Besta cabinets instead of legs and a blonde wood desk top makes for both a chic and comfortable workspace.
