Are you tired of searching for the perfect side table that effortlessly combines Scandinavian simplicity and Japanese elegance? Look no further! TikTok'er Maria has come up with a brilliant and budget-friendly DIY solution using IKEA serving bowls. Want to know more? Let's dive into the details and see how you can create your own Japandi-themed side table.
Japandi style is the lovechild of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian functionality. It's all about clean lines, natural materials, and a muted color palette. Think of it as the zen calmness of a Japanese tea garden meeting the cozy warmth of a Scandinavian cabin. Japandi emphasizes simplicity and harmony, making it the perfect design style for those who crave a serene yet stylish living space.
Grab two of the IKEA serving bowls and glue them together to form a sphere. Make sure the flat ends are aligned so that you have a smooth surface to work with. Next, take the third serving bowl and glue it to one of the flat ends of your sphere. The opening of this bowl should be facing upwards, ready to hold your serving tray.
Now that you have your three bowls glued together, you'll notice some seams where the bowls meet. Fill these seams with wood glue to create a smooth, cohesive surface. Once the glue is dry, sand down the seams to make them flush with the rest of the structure.
Apply a gel stain to the entire piece, including the serving tray. This will not only hide the seams but also give your new side table a unified look. The stain adds a touch of sophistication, making the bowls look like they were always meant to be together.
Finally, glue the stained serving tray to the top of your structure. Make sure it's centered and firmly attached. Voila! You've just created a stunning Japandi side table that will be the envy of all your friends.
