My Top 5 IKEA Purchases

I think it’s a fair assumption that everyone must own at least one piece of IKEA furniture and I personally love how affordable and versatile their items are! We have quite a few IKEA pieces in our home, so I wanted to share my five best buys with you.


1. ‘Kallax’ Storage Unit

We have this storage unit in both of our girls’ bedrooms, as well as a larger on in their playroom. We also use the ‘Branas’ baskets, which are really sturdy and hold so much stuff too.




2. ‘Hemnes’ Chest Of Drawers
I absolutely love the look of these drawers and I think they look more expensive than what they actually cost. I also changed the handles on them to these ones, which I think make a big difference too.


3. ‘Skubb’ Boxes
We have used these drawer dividers for years, as they fit perfectly in the chest of drawers. They’re great for separating items of clothing and accessories. I also mentioned them a couple of years ago when we were organising the nursery.

4. ‘Duktig’ Play Kitchen

We purchased this for our first daughter around five years ago now and it’s still going strong! It’s very well loved in our house and after we gave it a little makeover last year, it looks as good as new again.


5. ‘Mosslanda’ Picture Ledge
We’ve had these picture ledges for such a long time now and they’re perfect for displaying books. If you’re a regular reader, you know how much I love a themed bookshelf and I just really like the simplicity of these ones.

What are your favourite IKEA purchases? I’d love to know!
