You might have seen on my stories that I went to Ikea recently and dragged along my brother for his first ever trip there! Going to Ikea and spending someone else’s money is the best!!!😂In all seriousness though, we did have a really productive trip – he decided to buy a Pax wardrobe and even got it fully designed, ready to order! I remember when getting our own Pax, it was so helpful to have an Ikea designer double check everything. They can even tell you if a shelf is in the way of a hinge etc. I highly recommend using their service – it’s free and can even be done online now!
While strolling around, I took note of anything that caught my eye. Shock of shocks…there was actually a ton of things I loved, so I’ve broken my Ikea finds down into sections to make things easier!
Vases and Plant Pots
Flowers in the brown and the green Konstfull, as well as the Tonsatta vases all looked so pretty! They were all a great price too, ranging between €15 and €25.
The Olivblad is such good value, starting at only €10 for the small. These look so well when you have a group of three at varying heights. The €5 Nyphon pot goes with it perfectly, creating a modern looking group!
The Tolkning is a little pricer at €50, but well worth it. It’s study, big and the rattan allows you to add some natural material to your home – always a plus!
Seating
The Esseboda was surprisingly comfortable when we sat down. It comes in a few different colours and you can change the legs too. €850 for the two seater.
The Lacko is currently on sale for €74.25 if you have an Ikea family card. (All outdoor furniture has 25% off with a family card right now, so it’s well worth a look!)
The Strandmon was so comfortable to sit on, I hardly wanted to move! The dark brown leather so soft to the touch. €399.
€15 for the Adde chair is an absolute bargain! Love the design – they looked way more expensive! They were comfortable to sit on and they stack, so really handy if you’re looking for some extra seating or budget dining chairs!
The beige/brown fabric pattern of the Soderhamn is one of the nicest fabrics in Ikea. So elegant and soft to the touch, plus it looks like it could hold stains well. €1559 for this 4seater with chaise longue.
Lighting and Food Serving
Billy bought the glass Fado lamp and I know it’s going to look so good in his living room! Great price for €25 – one of my top Ikea finds!
He also grabbed the Molnart lightbulb for €13. It’s low lumen so the light is very dim, making it ideal for the glass lamp. The shape of the LED filament looks so cool when lit too!
The Kappeland for €45 is a new product in Ikea. It’s large, so great for a statement piece in the middle of your ceiling, plus because it’s rattan it will leave shadows on the wall when lit – people either hate that or love it! Which are you?
The Fullspackad serving tray caught my eye – love the modern shape and it’s only €15.
Ikea 365+ is a new range that’s in Ikea that mixes different sized glass food containers with silicone lids. I bought the lids and love them for when you want to avoid using clingfilm. The lid will ‘sunction’ to any container – glass or plastic- as long as the lid is big enough! The lids don’t hold on well enough to bring on the move (we tried for a picnic and it wasn’t great), but perfect for in your pantry or fridge!
Soft Furnishings
The Gunnemor throw is so soft to the touch and an absolute steal at €7! The off-white colour would go in almost any room! Handy to have a few around when it gets chilly on a summer’s evening!
The velvet Sanela curtains are so luxe and I love that they are room-darkening. Comes in a choice of colours. €69.
The Akerfibbla duvet cover is a really soft cotton and I love the chequered pattern! Comes in green and white. Starting at €40.
I loved the pattern on the Sandtrav cushion the moment I spotted it! It comes in a few colours, but I think I love the red the most – which is kinda unusual for me! It’s €17, including the filler.
Tell me, what are your favourite Ikea finds???
I need one to try one of those suction lids! Love the color of the soft furnishings 😍
