Welcome to the ultimate IKEA eye test! Think you know your LISABO from your VIMLE? Can you sniff out a FEJKA plant from across the room? Then this series is for you.

📸 The Setup:

Feast your eyes on this cozy IKEA living room straight from the showroom floor (yes, really). Your mission:
How many IKEA products can YOU name without cheating?
Scroll slow, guess first... then peek below the image to see how many you got right.

🛒 What we found:

Here's what our trained IKEA-ologists spotted in this stylish space:

  1. LISABO Coffee Table – Simple. Soft corners. Basically the IKEA equivalent of a warm hug.

  2. LISABO Side Table – Because one LISABO is never enough.

  3. VIMLE Sofa – Modular, comfy, and secretly a nap trap.

  4. BESTÅ Storage System – Wall-mounted like a champ.

  5. SINDVIK Glass Door – BESTÅ's fancy transparent cousin.

  6. STARKVIND Table with Air Purifier – It's a table and it cleans the air. Sorcery? Nope, IKEA.

  7. EKERÖ Armchair (Bomstad black) – Sleek enough for Bond villains. Comfy enough for Sunday naps.

  8. SKAFTET Floor Lamp – Bold curves and bright ideas.

  9. SKÄRIG Wall Clock – Minimalist and always late-proof.

  10. TÅRBÄK Rug – That subtle geometric pop we didn't know we needed.

  11. KNOPPÄNG Frames – IKEA's go-to for gallery wall greatness.

  12. 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).
