Discover the Best of Ikea to Make Your Home Feel Cozy and Relaxed

Everyone has at least one product purchased at Ikea at home. The Swedish company has become so popular that recognizing the Billy shelf or the Lack table is second nature to most of us. But why is that?

It’s no surprise, IKEA products are very affordable, functional, and easy to build. The wide range of furniture available is also one of their main assets.

Over the years, the company has managed to build such a wide range of products that you can find approximately anything for your home at IKEA. But as nice as it is to have lots of options, it can also be confusing. It’s not always easy to spot the gems in this plethora of products. And, IKEA is definitely full of great finds. Designers are well aware of that. That’s why they very often buy certain pieces at IKEA. Nowhere else you’ll find such good design at such a low price. Take this stylish apartment, for instance, furnished almost just at IKEA.

Not everything at the big blue box is a winner—some stuff feels cheap and falls apart quickly. But there are seemingly endless options to fill up every room of your living space.

Ikea Is Using Virtual Reality For Onboarding And Training

Wirecutter’s staffers have long taken advantage of IKEA’s wide range of offerings, from sofas to storage to … Swedish chocolate? Yes, even that. We’ve refreshed our list of IKEA recommendations to bring you the 18 items we love the most.

I impulsively picked up a set of these drawer organizers that someone had abandoned in the IKEA check-out line, and I’m glad they did. Since then I’ve repurchased them four times.

These boxes, which come in multiple sizes, are ideal homes for items you just want a low-effort way to store: balled-up socks, cotton totes you don’t feel like folding, lipstick tubes that would otherwise roll around the bottom of a drawer.

Whether you’re organizing a walk-in closet or storing office supplies, the Pax system is endlessly customizable. We put a two-frame Pax, with classy glass sliding doors, in our bedroom as a wardrobe. And we placed another set, with more-utilitarian doors (including a mirror), in our small entryway to hold shoes, coats, and outdoor gear. There are many ways to organize the interior, and IKEA offers a range of compatible doors, handles, and lighting. So the Pax can suit whatever look you’re going for (as long as it’s relatively modern). We also recommend the Pax in our closet organizing guide.

It was easy enough for two not-very-DIY-savvy adults to install in an afternoon. This system looks nice, is incredibly sturdy and functional, and costs a fraction of what a professional “custom closet” system would go for. I love that we can change the configuration as our needs evolve.
