I’ve already discussed IKEA pieces that remain affordable without giving away their origin, so recommended by interior designers!

(Here you can find the first video, and here, the second one!)

Today, I want to expand that list—let’s look at 11 more super interesting IKEA items that can make a difference in our homes!

– JÄTTEBO MODULAR SOFA

It is a modular storage sofa (and a removable cover, too!!) that you can adapt to any need!

The online configurator is super helpful for creating the best layout.

It has a simple, clean design that makes it easy to match with any style.

As mentioned, it’s a removable cover sofa available in three colors: gray, beige, and green.

The cover is machine washable, and you can even buy just the cover separately.

So, you might consider getting two covers in different colors—maybe to switch things up with the seasons, or why not, even create a cool two-tone sofa!

Each seat also includes a practical storage compartment, which is super handy if you live in a small space.

While it’s true that a sofa with legs is ideal for creating the illusion of a larger room, sometimes having that extra storage space is essential!

– RÅSKOG CART

It is a modern cart on wheels, available in two sizes and four colors, and there’s even an optional top cover.

It’s super practical to keep in the kitchen, but it works great as a nightstand or a sofa side table!

You can use it beside your desk, as an alternative or addition to a drawer unit, or even in the bathroom to store the things you use most often!

The fun part? You can find a lot of accessories online to customize it however you like, making it even more functional.

– ÖSTANÖ CHAIR

This chair has a design that’s as simple as it is timeless!

It comes in two colors: classic black and a bold, vibrant mahogany (I love it!).

It takes up very little space (and is even stackable), and its slim, lightweight frame makes it perfect for small areas.

The chair is super sturdy and comfortable, thanks to its soft seat and curved backrest.

It is perfect for the kitchen but works equally well in a modern living room.

– KRYLBO CHAIR

Similar to the previous chair concerning legs and seat, this one features a much more enveloping backrest.

That backrest gives it an elegant feel, making it perfect for elevating the look of a dining room!

It comes in two colors: beige and blue.

The beige works well in just about any setting, while the blue adds a playful touch—but it does need to be paired thoughtfully with the rest of the décor.

– HOLMERUD TABLE

This table comes in two shapes and two colors: oak-effect and black.

The lower version works well as a coffee table, while the taller one is perfect as a side table or even placed against a wall as a low bookshelf.

If your sofa isn’t up against a wall and instead faces another area, you could place two tables behind it, console-style, to create a visual divider.

It’s practical and elegant, with open shelving to organize and display books and decor pieces.

– BAGGBODA TABLE

This table is a revival of IKEA, originally from 1971 (back then, it was called CROMI).

Its simple yet striking lines blend perfectly with modern, contemporary, and minimalist styles.

It can be used next to the sofa or as a coffee table.

– KALLAX

I think Kallax is one of the most well-known and recognizable IKEA pieces.

However, there’s a green version with different-sized compartments (instead of the usual cubbies).

Like the original, one can place it vertically or horizontally – and it is customizable with containers and internal structures.

Its unique design and vibrant color make it a truly original piece!

– DYKARKLOCKA LAMPSHADE

That is also a revival from 1694, initially called TIVOLI, but with a difference: seven rings instead of nine.

These rings are in veneer, with oak on the outer layer and birch and beech on the inner ones.

The veneer makes it non-glare, but let’s be honest—it’s also not very bright, so it’s perfect for focused lighting over a table but not for general room lighting!

It has a simple and elegant design, ideal for Nordic, minimalist, Japandi, and modern styles.

– RÖDFLIK LAMP

This lamp comes in pendant, floor, and table versions, all in a beautiful grey-green color and classic white.

It draws inspiration from industrial-style enamel lamps, with the interesting detail of a brass switch on the lampshade.

It also features an adjustable head on the floor and table versions, making it super functional!

Its simple design makes it a generous fit for any style.

– SANNAHED FRAMES

These are square frames available in two sizes, 25×25 and 50×50, and three colors: birch-effect, walnut-effect, and red.

They have a deep frame that allows you to choose whether to place the image forward or backward, leaving space inside to accommodate an object.

The thick matting highlights and adds importance to the central image.

The smaller ones are perfect for creating compositions on bookshelves!

– HÄCKPOPPEL BOWL

With or without a base, this glass bowl with organic shapes is really charming in its simplicity!

Used as a centerpiece or placed on a console, it will definitely grab attention!

You can fill it with other items, but even on its own, it’s very striking.

I have to be honest, though, when it comes to bowls and vases, there’s always so much to choose from, like the vases from the Stockholm 2025 collection or Konstfull!

I get lost every time I go in-store, but also when I visit the website!

I hope you enjoyed this article and found it helpful.

A year or so ago, I talked about 15 Ikea items that, while remaining affordable, could give that refined touch to the home without making it clear where they came from…

Well, today, I would like to add new products, always designer approved!

1 – APPLARYD

This sofa is relatively recent, and as you can see, it does NOT look like an Ikea couch at all!

It has a remarkably minimalist and essential line, and its black steel raised feet lighten it and make it modern and elegant.

Perfect for scandinavian, modern, and contemporary styles.

It exists in two and three seats, and there is the possibility of a three-seater with a chaise lounge.

In Italy, it exists in two versions, gray or beige melange, but abroad it is also found in terracotta red and blue velvet.

2 – REGISSOR

This sideboard exists both low and as a window cabinet, and there is a white and brown variant.

The lines here, too, are essential and clean, with a handle built into the door, and the raised legs give that light touch.

It really adapts easily to any environment.

Both the cupboard and the window cabinet turn out to be very spacious.

Small idea, which is presented in the store: add light to the window cabinet; this elevates the perception of the cabinet even more, especially if you have unique objects inside; by doing so, you can make it the focal point!

3 – FROSET

It is a really versatile chair, suitable for nordic, japandi, modern, and contemporary styles; it can be put in the room as an extra seat but as an armchair in the living room, too, especially if it is small.

Its organic, essential, and light line does not weigh down the environment; on the contrary!

It exists in natural wood, black, and red.

The black one could be the accent piece that creates some rhythm in the house!

4 – SANELA CURTAINS

As you know for me, curtains are vital, because they dress the environment.

I have also often talked about double curtains, one filtering to let light through but protect the privacy and one blackout or semi-blackout for giving some contrast and rhythm.

If you like the idea, Sanela curtains can really go for you: they have a nice texture and are beautiful to look at.

They exist in a wide variety of colors; undoubtedly, there will be one that suits your home.

SANELA CURTAINS IKEA

It is a versatile tent because it easily fits on both rods and rails.

Of this same fabric, then there are also pillow covers, so both in the hall and in the room, it might be a good idea to get at least a couple of pillow covers in the same color as the curtain to make a reminder!

5 – MANALG

 

The nod to nature is now a growing trend, so Ikea has added pieces made of natural fibers like this wall lamp!

It is a handmade lamp that radiates light up and down and lets it filter through its fibers.

Basically, it is suitable for rustic and japandi styles.

And it brings warmth into the home and is undoubtedly an original piece!

6 – TUFJORD

This bed frame has an organic and enveloping shape!

Its steel legs lighten the structure, which already has an essential line anyway.

It exists in sugar paper color and green velvet.

It is adapted to modern, contemporary, glam, and art deco styles!

7 – EKOLN SERIES

A few weeks ago, I mentioned how important it was to have dispensers all the same in the bathroom instead of a thousand colored bottles!

Here Ikea offers a series in which there are not only dispensers but also other bathroom accessories.

This series is really very elegant with opaque colors, and can be the right solution and at an affordable price to decorate like a pro!!

8 – HULTARP

To stay on topic, this series can really elevate and make the kitchen super functional!

Once you’ve chosen the rails (which exist in black, brass, and steel), then all you have to do is look for the right accessories that allow you to have the things you often use on hand but displayed stylishly!

9 – KONSTFULL

Again in the video a few weeks ago, I talked about the importance of small arrangements of flowers and branches, even if they are fake!

Here Ikea offers a stunning vase for this purpose!

The shape is original, but what makes it distinctive is the frosted glass work that allows you to glimpse inside but giving it an abstract effect.

That is perfect precisely if you have fake flowers because it is usually just the stem that betrays artificiality, so however it will show and not show!

Adding a little water will really make a difference!

From the same series, there are also cylindrical and spherical shaped vases with very natural colors such as smoky and forest green… it can be a lovely and elegant idea to create a composition of these vases!

10 – GLASSES

When you get to the glasses section, it is good to stop for a moment because some pieces are quite beautiful!

In particular, I point out storsint, which has glasses for all kinds of drinks (even beer) and a nice decanter too. Of the series, I find the cocktail glass and the champagne glass particularly interesting.

For water, are lovely Ivrig and dyrgrip, which also has captivating red and white wine glasses!

As a champagne glass, I still report storhet!

I want to say one more word about Ikea furniture… Don’t disdain those pieces of furniture we all know by now because, with a pinch of imagination, you can change them into something unique and original!

There are many ideas online on how to “hack” Ikea furniture: a simple Besta, for example, with different feet and knobs, can really become unrecognizable at a price that is always affordable!
