Today&#8217;s Ikea hack is beautifully cheap and has some retro funk to it, to brighten up your pad with colourful accents. Not only is this hack super budget-friendly, it&#8217;s also so easy, Steve Harvey could probably get it right.<\/p>\n<p>In the mid-80s, the Memphis Group, a designer collective founded by an Italian guy, started putting out furniture, glass and homewares decorated with crazy geometric patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this Ikea hack for Memphis Group-inspired cork coasters.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The parts.

Tape off sections of each coaster. Check the picture for inspiration. You&#8217;re going to paint parts of the coaster that aren&#8217;t taped, so the taped areas will expose the natural cork of the Avskild coasters.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Paint the untaped sections in a single colour for each area. Give them 3-4 coats for even coverage and solid colour. Let the paint dry, then gently pull of the tape.
