If you thought that the key to timeless stylish interiors required dropping half of your fortnightly mortgage repayments, we’re here to change your tune.
Ikea is one of our favourite brands here at HB, delivering Scandi-designed products at wallet-friendly prices.
But which Ikea products do we really love? The new launches that make us excited? And the classic products we turn back to time and again?
We’ve narrowed it down to a top seven. Here are our favorite finds.
1. Gronadal rocking chair, $199.
“I love the contrast between the natural rattan and the steel frame.”
Holly Byrne, HB Junior Features Writer
2. FJÄLLBO shelving unit, black $149.
“I own this piece and love it. It sits in our kitchen and is the perfect balance between hiding pantry items and displaying gorgeous cookbooks and bits & bobs like our mortal and pestle.”
Yasmine Parker, HB Senior Designer
3. BJÖRKSNÄS chest of 5 drawers, in Birch, $449.
“This would really go well with our bed frame! I could see myself painting the draw facades white”
Yasmine Parker, HB Senior Designer
4. Ypperlig dark grey coffee table, $59.
“I love this modern, understated piece. The size is perfect for a side table, and the simplistic design allows you to style it to suit any space. I’m excited to see the rest of the Hay x Ikea collaboration.”
Julia Nadin, HB Deputy art & digital art director
“Ilse Crawford is a goddess in home design and making a space your own. This pendant ticks all those boxes at an affordable price.”
Diana Moore, HB Digital content editor
6. ODGER chair in Blue, $99
“Sleek and well-priced, the Odger chair is at home in all kinds of dining room schemes. Easy to clean, lightweight and made of more than 55% recycled plastic – what a star!”
Gavin Kirk, HB Acting Associate Editor
7. BESTÅ storage combination with doors in Hallstavik blue-green, $850
“You’ll love keeping things tidy behind these closed doors – especially given their v-groove detailing at an eye-catching 45-degree angle. This freestanding unit is the ideal storage solution – and a welcome hit of colour – for the kids’ room.”
Gavin Kirk, Action Associate Editor
