Do you Ikea?
Once you’ve decided that you really want to make an effort in designing your space, you may turn your nose up to Ikea. I can’t blame that, and I definitely don’t suggest walking into your local store and buying a whole room, but Ikea is great for filling in the blanks. Many times I’ve been reading through my blog reader or scanning through Pinterest and a beautiful room will pop up with some fantastic Ikea products woven in. I tend to follow the model of decorating that incorporates a few high quality items, some vintage items, and some lower end but still tasteful items. This creates interest and a story.
Ikea is also great for filling a void until you can save to get your dream piece. For example, I love this Saarinen table, it’s modern, it’s clean and it’s just lovely. It’s also not in my budget at the moment. Until I can justify that purchase, I’ve settled for this one. This afternoon while I was wandering the maze that is Ikea, I kept noticing a handful of their new items that really stood out, and would fill some holes in my home.
It turns out that everything I wanted to throw into my cart belongs to the new NIPPRIG collection. This fresh collection of wicker is perfect for spring, and it fits into everyone’s budget, so what’s not to like? I thought I’d share some of my favorites here, and yes, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that a few of these made it home with me!
1. Nipprig Shade Bamboo $24.99 | 2. Nipprig Beach Bag $4.00 | 3. Nipprig Single Hook $2.99 | 4. Nipprig Storage Box $16.99 | 5. Nipprig Chair $49
What about you, what are your favorite Ikea pieces? Do you have any go-to’s or do you avoid this giant home store like the plague?
