The carpet in our living room needs replacement. We don’t need a very expensive luxury carpet. Just keep it simple and cheap. Don’t need to last for ages, since we like to change something in the house every now and then. So off course we had a look at IKEA and I went to the store this afternoon. Not a good plan since it was a Sunday afternoon. Never seen it so busy. Anyway, this got me thinking about all IKEA products in the house. Would I call them all favorites, nah, don’t really think so, but the Top 3 are definately favorites.
10. Alstern bath mat
By far the least sexy product in this Top10. But it is definately used on a daily basis.
9. Ribba frames
Still planning to make a photo wall on our attic. But I still have some Ribba frames from my appartment stashed somewhere.
8. Legitim chopping board
You can never have too much of these in the kitchen.
7. Tolerant wok
Our wok needed urgent replacement last week. For the time being we decided to take an El Cheapo Ikea wok.
6. Lack side table
Just a cheap side table with a good design.
5. PS cabinet
Not sure but I think I had this one initially in red. I then changed it to a white one. Since I stored some of my stereo equipment i made a whole in the rear end so I could run some cables through it.
4. Samla boxes
Great boxes to store all kinds of stuff in them. Records, camping gear, Lego, etc etc.
3. Billy bookcase
I had a few of these in my old appartment. When I sold them I moved them to my parents house. At the moment I’m considering to buy two new ones to store my cd’s.
2. Pax wardrobe frames
So great that you can design your own wardrobe by selecting the different parts. Great quality as well.
1. Kallax shelving unit
One of the most popular items from Ikea, the Kallax shelving units. Previously known as Expedit. Kallax is one of the most used solutions for storing records (which I used it for as well). This series has so many options available. There are also lots of hacks and ideas available. If you need some inspiration, have a look here for example.
