5 IKEA Must-Buys to Improve Your Living Space

5 IKEA Must-Buys to Improve Your Living Space

With the IKEA Collection Point now open in Cebu, it's more convenient to shop from the renowned Swedish brand and bring their items home.

Reality check: Life is no video game, and changing things around the house will never be as easy as it is on The Sims (and the motherlode hack).

But even without the commitment of large furniture and dealing with your house’s wirings, there are many other ways to improve your living spaces and make them functional.

Here are some great additions from IKEA to add-to-cart—and yes, bring to Cebu!

EHNET Cabinet

When you have a small bathroom, chances are that you don’t have enough storage. Utilize vertical real estate by adding shelving like this one-door wall cabinet from IKEA’s EHNET series, which you can install wherever you have space. It’s moisture-resistant and easy to clean, making it also ideal for the kitchen or your laundry area.

STÖDJA Flatware Tray

Make your inner Marie Kondo happy by using IKEA’s STÖDJA flatware tray in your utensils drawer. Easily separate your forks, spoons, and knives from each other so you can easily grab what you need. You can also use these trays to (finally!) organize the makeup in your vanity.

STRANDMON Wing Chair

Nothing beats the appeal of a comfy armchair, whether you put it in your living room or bedroom. The STRANDMON wing chair, inspired by a 1950’s IKEA favorite, also comes in this cheery yellow hue to add a splash of color to an otherwise neutral space. Doesn’t this inspire you to curl up with a book on a lazy Sunday afternoon?

FYXNÄS Floor Lamp

Add more mood lighting to your home without having to mess with your electricals. The retro-inspired FYXNÄS floor lamp is minimalistic yet structured, making it a striking addition to your living areas. If you don’t have a lot of floor space, the FYXNÄS also has a table lamp version.

SVENSHULT Shelf

Display your favorite books or plants, or keep your frequently-used supplies within easy reach with a floating wall shelf. Functional yet versatile, the joy of the SVENSHULT one is you can create unique patterns by combining several of them. It also comes in gold and white finishes that can go well with any interiors.
