5 best deals from Ikea you can use everywhere
5 best deals from Ikea if you need some inspiration.
I love Ikea. Ikea is young and fresh and affordable.
This is the reason why everybody is obsessed with Ikea furniture.
Ikea has been all over Europe for over 50 years and in America for over 20 years now.
Of course, I decorated my first apartment with a lot of Ikea furniture because it was so affordable and exactly my style.
And it was so colorful, no more browns and beiges. Yellow, green, pink, blue, and patterns, a lot of patterns.
During the last 20 years, a lot has changed within IKEA, the quality improved and they are stepping up for the environment. Their furniture is still affordable, young, and fresh compared to other furniture stores.
Did I say I love Ikea????
IKEA is a Swedish-founded multinational group (1943) that designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture, kitchen appliances and home accessories, among other useful goods and occasionally home services. It has been the world’s largest furniture retailer since at least 2008. Wikipedia
This is why I am always eagerly awaiting the newest catalog. And I am so excited to share with you the best buys from the Ikea catalog.
5 best deals from Ikea you can use everywhere:
And here are the 5 best deals from the Ikea catalog.
Couch table/storage table
This couch table can be used in your living room or as a storage table in your kids’ room. KVISTBRO table is available in white and in dark blue. It is painted finish and powder-coated steel and looks great with modern furniture and adds a light accent to a darker room. Available in two sizes and two colors.
Gladom Tablet table
You can use this table everywhere. I love it in my living room but also as a side table in my bedroom. It is available in 3 different colors, easy to style or to move to a different place.
Here are some pictures of my apartment where I use the Gladom table:


Loveseat / couch
KLIPPAN has been around for longer but they always update this sofa with new patterns and colors and the price is absolutely spectacular. The cover is removable and washable which makes it a great deal especially if you have kids and pets.
I love the different color options, from multicolor to solid beige.
Bed with Simplicity
MALM is a complete bedroom series, with built-in storage and bedside drawers. It looks sleek and simple and fits in smaller bedrooms where you need simple and multifunctional furniture.
This bed series is available in different colors and sizes and different headboards to create your own style.
SLATTUM queen upholstered bed frame includes a slatted bed base. Full and queen sizes are available and it is only 129 $.


We bought the Slattum bed for my son’s studio apartment. He loves it. It is very sturdy and comfortable if you buy a good mattress with it.
This bed is also easy to glam up if you want to
I changed the interior of the bedroom into more colorful and wanted the bed frame to add some color to my design. Therefore I bought a floral fabric and just stapled it onto the headboard. It is so easy to do and it changes the whole look. See for yourself:


Sleeper Sofa
FLOTTEBO is a sleeper sofa with a side table and a removable and washable cover. I checked it out already and love that it is not so soft, that you can actually use it as a bed and sleep pretty comfortably on it.
It is available in different colors and made out of Polyurethane foam.
Recliner / Armchair
This recliner looks so cool because it is not so huge but still so comfortable. It also has a washable cover, which I like very much. So far it is only available in two colors, but I am sure it won’t take long for more different colored covers.
EKOLSUND recliner has soft rounded shapes which are sized to fit in even small spaces. Adjustable in three positions – so choose whether you want to sit upright, lean back or lie back for a nap.
And the armchair I absolutely love is called KOARP. I love the straight lines (which fit perfectly to the Klippan Sofa) and the removable and washable cover. It is available in a lot of colors and it is so affordable.
Of course, there are more than just 5 deals from Ikea.
For example Accessories
I can’t really select the best accessories, because there are so many different styles and colors. But if you are in need of new and ready-made curtains, Ikea is a good find.
Light fixtures are simple but different from everything else you can find in stores and you can also easily update them with paint or decor if you want to.
Picture frames, mirrors, candles, plants, shower curtains, artwork, … there is a lot to explore and a lot of pretty stuff to find. Just be sure to have a shopping list with you, otherwise, you will end up buying so much more than you actually need.
And if you are looking to update your kid’s room – there are so many colorful and funny options, I am sure you can’t decide what to buy.
What I love about IKEA
The Ikea Foundation supports many projects like renewable energy to fight climate change with over 300 Million Dollars or the WRI Project to bring clean electricity to 1 Million people in India and Africa just to name two.
There are many more projects Ikea supports and if you are interested, you can find more here https://ikeafoundation.org/press/
They have shifted a lot from when they started the company. The material they are using now is sustainable and most of it is recyclable. That wasn’t always the case but they see that the world has to change.
Do you know how to operate a drill?
If you buy Ikea furniture you need a good s screwdriver or even better you need an electric drill. This will help you put your furniture together so much easier.
I just wrote a review of the 7 best cordless drills for easy DIY projects. Might be a good opportunity to get one if you don’t have one already.
