Ektorp Sofa, Blekinge White
The Ektorp sofa is super affordable and has a variety of slipcover options for changing color and style. The classic white has been a favorite of mine for a long time.
Tejn Faux Sheepskin, White - $9.99
The Tejn faux sheepskin rug is animal friendly! It’s great as a chair cover, Christmas tree skirt (a few layered around the base) or a bedside landing for your toes.
Knappa Pendant Lamp
This iconic design has been seen many times at design shows, in magazines and on blogs. It has great texture, acts as a statement piece in a room and is a super affordable lighting option for any room.

Mammut Children's Chair | IKEA
These fun little plastic chairs are not only great for the home, but also for churches, daycares and other kid-friendly places that love their design. They’re inexpensive and easy to replace in high-use areas.
Billy Bookcase, White
The Billy bookcase is simple on its own, or you can trim it out with moldings for a timeless, built-in look.
Lack Side Table, High-Gloss Pink - $12.99
Put the Lack side table together in a few seconds, and you have a fantastic basic that can move from room to room. At $12.99, you won’t feel bad if someone spills their wine or colors in permanent marker on it. I used four in my kids’ former playroom. They can be pushed together for a great sit-down-and-play table or pulled apart for smaller uses. There are lots of color choices too!
Docksta Dining Table | IKEA
Why pay big bucks for a designer name when you can get the same look with the Docksta table? Mix it with modern, contemporary or traditional for a timeless appeal.
Norden Extendable Table, Birch - $299
Love the farmhouse look, but can’t get your hands on a vintage piece? Not handy enough with power tools to make your own? Get the look with this classic Ikea Norden extension table. Leave it au natural, or paint/stain it for a customized look.
Klippan Love Seat, Fräsig Black
The Klippan love seat may look like a bachelor pad must-have, but it’s actually a great option for families because it’s so easy to clean! It comes in a variety of colors too.
Ekby Valter Bracket
Another farmhouse/cottage classic, this Ekby Valter bracket adds a charming detail to shelving in any room.

Alseda Stool
These beautiful wicker poufs add great texture and a comfy cushion when you need some extra seating. It also works great outdoors, as long as they are stored away after use.

The Byholma chair is another budget-friendly option for a high-end look without the price tag. It has a beautifully weathered gray finish and classic lines. It would be fantastic in a dining room or sitting area. This is definitely my next Ikea purchase.

Skimmer Candlestick, Silver Color
These silver candlesticks have been a long-time favorite. Their curvy lines and bright sheen are reminiscent of mercury glass.
Rotera Lantern for Tea Light, Galvanized
Ah, the Rotera lantern. It’s great on the patio, front porch or mantel. It looks great on its own, but even better when grouped together en masse. A variety of sizes and finishes make it a classic Ikea purchase.

The Bestå storage system is a long-time favorite for those who crave sleek, clean lines. There are several finishes to choose from, all with a high-end, modern look.
