Despite the thought, yes Ikea offers only affordable products, there are some of them innovative pieces of furniture and accessories for the home, which not only excite interior designers in general, but even Ikea's designers and managers themselves.

The list also includes a blanket, curtains and even a vase. The next time you go to Ikea (soon we will also have it in Slovenia), pay attention to these products. Although they are simple at first glance, brilliant ideas are hidden in them.

The best Ikea products ever

Strandmon armchair

No one would resist having such an armchair. Especially because I would be in it sat like kings. The charm of the Strandomon armchair, according to Peter Bondesson from the development department at Ikea, is how prestigious it looks despite its relatively low price. You can choose between a regular version and one covered in velvet. There is also an armchair incredibly comfortable and will surely become your favorite piece of furniture.

Klippan sofa

A couch that can stand the test of time and which, despite its age (the sofa's design is from the 1980s), is still modern enough for every home. Designer and manager Betina Tviis Larsson is very satisfied with it. A sofa is possible replace the cover, so you don't need much to restore the exterior of a worn sofa to its original shine.

Ofelia Vass quilt

This very special blanket will be on the bed because of its properties stayed both winter and summer. Designer Sarah Fager says that due to the seemingly crumpled texture, the blanket is able to cool to the touch and feel fresh, and in winter to be insulating enough to keep us pleasantly warm.

Curtains Gunrid

We all know that the air outside is polluted, but we don't realize that the air inside living spaces can also be polluted. Various air filters that require electricity to operate and are expensive, however we can replace it with this curtain. It has cleaning properties. It is made of recycled polyester and coated with a special mineral-based coating that binds harmful compounds such as formaldehydes. It will also remove the stench. Another good feature is that it has a curtain it will not lose its properties even after washing.

Vase from the Omtänksam collection

It is true that, despite its different design, it still serves the same purpose as any other vase, but its shape brings many positive features, which they will be extremely happy about especially elderly users and disabled people. Due to the ergonomic neck, it will be able to be held easily by people who have a weaker grip due to illness (or an accident). The vase can therefore also be lifted with the hands and not only with the palms.

Billy bookcase

It's Billy An Ikea classic, which can be seen in various forms almost everywhere. In student dormitories, apartments, houses, offices... Even Ikea employees swear by it. It is a simple cabinet which, due to its height, will not take up much space, but will still offer plenty of room for all your books and other gear. Since it doesn't have any doors or drawers, you'll have a good overview of what's folded.

Bed frame Malm Bed

Minimalist, sharp, clean lines and very durable. It is one of the more popular bed frames by Ikea. And as an interesting fact, let us add that it is supposed to be one in ten Europeans conceived in an Ikea bed. 

Kallax racks

You have certainly seen such racks somewhere, especially in smaller apartments. They are extremely practical, as they do not obscure the light even in the middle of the room, and things on them can be accessed from two sides. It is also possible to purchase baskets, which are as ordered for the racks. There are also versions with doors. It is quite surprising that Ikea wanted to discontinue the product. They did this for a short time, but after a stormy response from customers, they put the product back on sale!
