IKEA is a European multinational group that designs and
sells ready-to-assemble furniture, kitchen appliances and home accessories,
among other useful goods and occasionally home services. Founded in Sweden in
1943 by 17-year-old Ingvar Kamprad, IKEA has been the world's largest furniture
retailer since 2008. According to the
Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as of January 2018, Kamprad was the eighth
richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$58.7 billion. The
company's name is an acronym that consists of the founder's initials plus those
of Elmtaryd, the family farm where he was born, and the nearby village
Agunnaryd.
1. BILLY Bookcase
One of IKEA’s most popular pieces, the BILLY bookcase can be
used for so much more than books — think shoe storage, tchotchke display,
temporary TV stand. To boot, it promises one of the easiest assemblies in the
entire catalog.
2. KLIPSK Bed Tray
Like breakfast in bed? Make it less messy with this simple
tray — there’s a lip around the edge to catch any crumbs and spills, as well as
a groove to prop up a book or tablet. The legs also fold up for easy storage.
3. RENS Sheepskin
Add instant style to any space with one of these sheepskin
rugs. Drape one over a chair for a furry effect, or place one on either side of
your bed during colder months.
4. TEKLA Dish Towel
Do you avoid laundry as much as the rest of us? Grab a few
of these towels next time you visit your local IKEA. They’re amazingly
inexpensive and they work great as napkins, too.
5. NYSKOLJD Dish Drying Mat
This is perfect whether your dish rack is constantly
overflowing, or if you need somewhere to air dries those bulky pots and pans.
6. RANARP Pendant Lamp
The classic, slightly old-fashioned design of this lamp
makes it look a lot more expensive than forty bucks.
7. STRANDMON Wing Chair
Over 200 5-star ratings on IKEA’s
furniture website sealed this chair’s spot on our list. Harkening back to
IKEA’s original 1950s design, it comes in eight great colors and patterns, from
understated gray to a vibrant palm print.
8. Mulig Clothes Rack
