When it comes to IKEA, there’s more than meets the eye! Don’t overlook these IKEA products! Every time I go, I’m always amazed at what I find. Let’s get right to it.
1. Korken Kitchen Organizers
Looking for a stylish way to store your favorite pantry items? Check out Korken, IKEA’s glass jars with airtight lids, perfect for keeping things fresh and organized in your kitchen or pantry, or even on your kitchen counters.
2. Skurup Floor Lamp
Illuminate your space with Skurup, IKEA’s industrial-style pendant lamp. Its black metal finish adds a touch of edgy sophistication to any room.
3. Moalina Curtains (all curtains basically)
You can’t go wrong with really any of the IKEA curtains. Of course, the Ritva is one of the best. The Tibast and the Hannalill too. You can even pinch pleat some of them. But I saw these warm, textured drapes and was pleasantly surprised. These drape beautifully!
4. Groeryd Bar Cart
I was so closeeeee to getting this! I am kind of wishing I did. This is such a pretty bar cart. And dressing it up for parties and holidays would be so fun. Its versatile design and sturdy construction make it perfect for storing and transporting items in any room of the house, or just leave it in the dining room as a show piece.
5. Billy Bookcase
Sorry, but I have to include this one in here. The Billy bookcase is an IKEA classic, known for its versatility and affordability. Whether you need storage for books, decor, or media, Billy has you covered. And there are about a million ways to hack this IKEA product.
6. Kitchen Tea Towels
Hear me out. These kitchen tea towels are made with great materials. They are generously sized, and they always come in prettiest patterns. These are not just for your kitchen!! You can use them as napkins, or hand towels in the bathroom or even fabric gift wrap! Everytime I’m at IKEA I pick up a few.
7. Faux Greenery
The faux greenery is pretty good at IKEA. I say pretty good because some of them do indeed look fake and tacky. But if you take some time to really dig around, there are definitely some gems here. I picked up a couple of these plants pictured here and after repotting – they look amazingly real.
8. Lomviken Frames (One of the best ikea products ever)
These frames are so good you guys! They are thin with bright white mats and come in so many different sizes. These sleek and modern frames are perfect for showcasing photos or artwork on any wall, adding a personal touch to your home decor. They look like West Elm!
9. Fenomen Pillar Candles
As much as I love flameless candles, sometimes you just want the real thing. I’m really into glass hurricanes with a beautiful pillar candle. Such a pretty look! Even Amazon doesn’t sell pillar candles this cheap (or at least, not at the time I’m writing this post because I checked.) I always stop and pick up a set of these unscented affordable beauties. You can get a variety set of 5 for a little more than $10!
10. Christmas Trees and Accessories
This is the first time I really noticed the Christmas items. Particularly the trees. My gosh! They are so good you guys. They are on sale after the holidays but I was with my husband and he said no. But I still have to include them in this round up because the faux trees are pretty darn good. Also, this basket tree collar has me swooning!
11. Slipprig Candle Holders
These are so pretty! Totally handmade by skilled craftspeople, so each one is totally unique. You know when you light up that candle and the light just dances through the pattern on the holder? Yeah, it’s like that. Adds a nice touch of decor to any space. Plus, the glass is super easy to clean. Just remove the outer woven part, toss it in the dishwasher, and boom, good as new!
12. Sockerart Pitchers (insta – Famous IKEA Products)
These are super popular and I see them all over Instagram. And for good reason. These make amazing decor in your kitchen but (and I know this kind of gross), they make stylish holders for your toilet brush. If you have a bathroom with a pedestal sink and no other storage these can serve as little holders in the back corner of the toilet. They come in a matte now!
13. Lassbyn Mirror
Pretty and practical. One side has a magnifying mirror for all its uses. Love that this mirror is chrome!
14. Hovet Mirror
Need a mirror that stands out? Look no further than Hovet, IKEA’s large, sleek, and modern mirror. Its full-length design is great for checking out your outfit before heading out the door.
15. Fryken Baskets
Handwoven in seagrass by some seriously skilled craftsmen. And check this, they come in these super handy sizes, perfect for all your smaller stuff. They’re like the secret sauce for organizing your office, bathroom, or bookshelf, adding that extra touch of charm and character. Plus, they’re affordable and a unique shape.
16. Vallasan Towels
These are crazy good! I wish they had more colors. I love the waffle weave and the fringe. Made from soft and absorbent cotton, these towels are perfect for drying off and adding a spa-like feel to your bathroom.
17. Soldrankt Champagne Cooler
Doesn’t this look like something you would find at a Pottery Barn? I picked this up with a deer in headlights look and showed my husband and he said: “But we don’t need that we already have one.” To which I responded: “Yes, but this one is small and good for small parties.” And his response: “But we don’t need that we already have one.” Oh, he’s always so practical like that. My advice? Get it.
18. Dytag Duvet Cover & Pillowcase
Okay, imagine this: a duvet cover set that’s like the comfiest hug after a day that felt longer than a Monday! It’s made of 100% pre-washed linen, so it’s already got that relaxed vibe and gets better and softer with every wash. The texture is crushed, so it’s not gonna be wrinkle free but I like that look. Comes in several colors – one of my favorite IKEA products ever!!
19. Lonsas Mirrors
20. Vareld Waffle Bed Blanket
If you want a BIG bed blanket like you see the designers put on the end of the bed – this is a winner. It only comes in white and pink, but its soft material and stylish design make it perfect for adding warmth and texture to your bedding ensemble!
21. Morbylanga Table
I can’t believe this is IKEA!! Morbylanga, IKEA’s extendable dining table, offers flexibility for small or large gatherings. Its sleek design and smooth extension mechanism make it a practical and stylish choice for any dining room.
22. Lohals and Lydersholm Rugs
Lohals, IKEA’s jute rug, adds texture and warmth to any space. Its natural material and neutral color palette make it a versatile addition to your home decor. And I put the Lydersholm in my kids bathroom. It’s soft underfoot, thin enough to fit under doorways and adds the perfect amount of warmth. You do need a sticky rug holder for it as it will slide around. This is great for covered outdoor areas, too.
23. Agen Rattan Chair
For laid-back outdoor seating, consider Agen, IKEA’s rattan chair. Its natural material and timeless design make it a perfect addition to any covered patio space. It states it’s suitable for indoor use, I could see this in a guest room or child’s room in the corner. Throw a sheepskin over it to add some more texture and warmth (although it’s comfortably on it’s own). I couldn’t love this chair more!
24. Hemnes Coffee Table
Why do I love this? Because it’s made of solid pine and can be sanded down and restained or repainted. I love the timeless look to it and it’s a good size. Perfect for most spaces.
25. Kolbjorn Outdoor Cabinet
This cabinet is good for both inside and outside. It’s tough, easy to clean, and rust-resistant because it’s made of powder-coated galvanized steel. The feet are adjustable, so it stays level even on uneven floors. If you need more storage, you can add the KOLBJÖRN shelving unit on top (sold separately). The doors shut tight and have a magnetic lock.
