🛒 What we found:
Here's what our trained IKEA-ologists spotted in this stylish space:
-
LISABO Coffee Table – Simple. Soft corners. Basically the IKEA equivalent of a warm hug.
-
LISABO Side Table – Because one LISABO is never enough.
-
VIMLE Sofa – Modular, comfy, and secretly a nap trap.
-
BESTÅ Storage System – Wall-mounted like a champ.
-
SINDVIK Glass Door – BESTÅ's fancy transparent cousin.
-
STARKVIND Table with Air Purifier – It's a table and it cleans the air. Sorcery? Nope, IKEA.
-
EKERÖ Armchair (Bomstad black) – Sleek enough for Bond villains. Comfy enough for Sunday naps.
-
SKAFTET Floor Lamp – Bold curves and bright ideas.
-
SKÄRIG Wall Clock – Minimalist and always late-proof.
-
TÅRBÄK Rug – That subtle geometric pop we didn't know we needed.
-
KNOPPÄNG Frames – IKEA's go-to for gallery wall greatness.
-
FEJKA Artificial Plant – Because real plants are hard and IKEA knows us well.
🎯 Your Score?
-
10–12 products: IKEA Master. You probably know the warehouse shortcuts too.
-
6–9 products: Solid. You've assembled a BILLY or two in your day.
-
1–5 products: No worries. Time to visit the store and "just have a look" (famous last words).
Stay tuned for Volume 2 – new room, new chaos, new challenge.
