Hi, what a day!! I took a client shopping in
Ikea today. He just moved into a 2 bedroom unit with absolutely nothing - so I had a whole house to outfit. What fun!! A shopping trip like today required a bit of organisation. I had already measured up the space the week before. I spent a few hours over the Easter weekend planning and kitting out the space using
Ikea's great website. You can even put together little mood boards on there now. This was quite handy as I was doing it all on the laptop while I was away, so I didn't have access to all my usual office tools for mood boards etc.
We started out with all the large furniture items - bed, drawers, bedsides, sofa, dining table, chairs, buffet etc etc. Loaded all this lot into the van and SUV, then hit it all again for the lighting, accessories, linen etc. So 4 hours later - cars loaded to the rooftops we took it all back to the unit. Now my dear client has about 2 weeks worth of flat packs to put together - lucky him!! I wonder if I will get a few curses as he puts it all together. I'll try and get some photos when it's all done, so you can check it out.
I often use
Ikea pieces to fill in with other more expensive items in a scheme. It's handy to have that option to keep costs down if the budget is tight. How do you feel about
Ikea? Love it or hate it??
Here's a few rooms to view that I know have
Ikea pieces in them - can you guess which pieces are
Ikea?
