One of IKEA’s latest steps toward sustainability, this year it will eliminate its checkout use of plastic bags, for which it began charging UK customers two years ago. More than 380 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone, polluting land and waters with toxic chemicals. In the early part of the decade, Ikea pledged to phase out unhealthy formaldehyde and PVC in its core products, and to stock wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
The Ikea Laver table and chairs dining set is the perfect starter dining room set for those looking to come in on a budget. It is extremely affordable, less than one hundred dollars for the Laver table and the four chairs. It would also make a great table for a child’s playroom. Ikea does it again, providing sturdy and attractive home furniture ideas for the most reasonable prices.
I am a big fan of the Fusion table and chairs dining set from everybody’s favorite, Ikea. The chair backs are shaped to the corners of the table, which saves tons of space when the chairs are pushed up against the table. This makes it the perfect dining set for a smaller apartment. It has a decidedly modern look, but the grain and color of the table give it an almost retro feel. It’s easy to review Ikea products…they make great looking stuff, and so affordable!
One of the new designs from Sweden’s masters of affordable and gorgeous home furnishings, the Pax Wardrobe from Ikea brings attractive and refined elegance to your home. The shoe trees adjust to accommodate a variety of different shoe sizes and styles. The Ikea Pax Wardrobe will make a stunning addition to your foyer or bedroom, and its color will blend well with your current design color scheme.
I love the elegant simplicity of the Hopen Bed Frame from Ikea. Ikea manages to bring contemporary minimalist design into your home for such a reasonable price, its hard to imagine paying thousands of dollars from a modern bed, when Ikea does it so beautifully for a fraction of the price. The Ikea Hopen bed gets a great review from me!
Compact, nice-looking and easily convertible into a bed, the Hagalund Sofabed from Ikea is another example of Ikea’s dedication to designing simple, affordable and attractive furniture for the modern home. One of the nicest features of the new Hagalund sofabed is the storage space under the seat, which can be used to store bed linens, pillow, etc. We give the new Hagalund sofa bed a great review!
The Karlskrona Chaise Lounger from Ikea is surprisingly comfortable. When I first saw it I couldn’t imagine sitting in it for very long, but once I test drove it at the store, I quickly changed my mind. The Karlskrona chaise is exceedingly comfy and would look great on any covered patio or deck. Each of the chaise loungers is handwoven rattan, so no two are exactly alike.
The Ikea Sater sofa is a new wide cushioned sofa by Sweden’s master designers of furniture for the entire world: Ikea. Ikea has really mastered the leather furniture over the last few years, and the new Sater collection is no exception to Ikea’s continued quest to fill homes with beautiful and affordable well designed home furnishings.
In my opinion, Kramfors leather sofa came along recently into IKEA’s inventory and it launched the beginning of their sophisticated and well-made loft series of furniture - more for the hip urban city dweller than the suburban family. Its comfortable and unassuming, and looks beautiful in the colors of dark brown and black that IKEA has chosen for the piece. The Kramfors series is one of my favorite lines for Ikea sofas.
This is one of the most surprising IKEA purchases I’ve ever made. When I first saw it in the store I didn’t look twice - it wasn’t until I’d sat in in that I was sold for life. I have since bought three Karlstad Swivel Chairs. They are so unbelievably comfortable you wouldn’t believe it. I sit and read for hours in this chair, and it gives my den a sophisticated look. I love it.
