One can argue endlessly about the advantages and disadvantages of furniture and home and interior goods from IKEA stores. Some consider them stores for the poor with the same type of goods, others consider them a good place where you can completely furnish an apartment for a low price. But it’s difficult to agree with the fact that the company offers excellent solutions for different ages. For example, for young people who have just left the care of their parents, a small studio would be a good option. Let's look at the TOP best things from IKEA that will help you settle into your first home. And not only. Many of the products will fit well into the interior of a spacious apartment.
Stepladder "Bekvem"
Typically, large stepladders are not needed; they are used only during repair work.
And for daily needs, this option, which has a height of 63 centimeters, is perfect.
Advice!
You can use such a stepladder to get things from the top shelves, or you can make it into an additional seat, coffee table or flower stand.
Price – 2299 rubles.
Dishes
For fans of beautiful and stylish serving, the Streamig series is a must-watch. There are bowls, mugs, deep and flat plates, so you can create a whole set.
Dishes "Strimmig"
Other beautiful new tableware items are the “Lyuvare” and “Stilenlig” series. The latest series with an ornament of leaves evokes a spring and summer mood.
Corken bottles appeared with a similar design.
A tightly closing airtight stopper allows you to store oils, milk, soy sauce, etc. in such containers.
The “Korken” series also has these jars for jam or jam.
The “Lyuvare” series of dishes, textiles and accessories deserves a special mention. A catchy gold design, stylish ornaments, and original shapes will not allow these items to be hidden behind cabinet doors. This collection was created in order to be visible and decorate the interior. All items in the Leuware series fit perfectly together.
Lantern for shaped candle “Lyuvare”, price - 1,999 rub.
Kitchen accessories
Kitchen towels, oven mitts, aprons, etc. - it seems like such little things, but it is in such details that the mood of your kitchen lies. I really liked a set of oven mitts with a broccoli pattern called Torvflu.
Do you want to change something in the interior without spending a lot of money? Soft cushions for chairs will help place bright accents and refresh the atmosphere. I liked “Whippaert”, a delicate blue, heavenly color.
Another way to quickly and inexpensively add coziness is to buy new napkins for the Sommardrem series appliances.
Dryer "Press"
The dryer is made of plastic and has 16 clothespins. You can hang it in any suitable place; due to the reliable fixation, the item will not fall.
You can use the dryer both outdoors and indoors; it is easy to assemble, so you don’t need a lot of space for storage.

A little history
IKEA was founded in 1943 by Swedish entrepreneur Ingvar Kamprad. Since childhood, his character was dominated by the traits of a shrewd businessman.
From the age of five he traded matches, buying them wholesale in Stockholm. True, the first buyer was his grandmother. But gradually things started to turn around. And many neighbors began to turn to the boy for goods.
When the young man turned 17, his father gave him a small amount of money. Ingvar invested them in creating the IKEA brand. At that moment, the brand was still far away.
For the first five years, the company was engaged in the mail order business of office supplies. Towards the middle of the last century, Kamprad came up with the idea of selling furniture. The first store opened in 1958. After 5 years, the company entered the international market. The first country where the company opened a store was Norway.
Currently, the company is engaged in the development of design projects, which are subsequently used to produce furniture and home accessories in different parts of the world, and directly in trade. Today the trading network includes about 330 stores in more than 40 countries around the world. And it continues to develop successfully, focusing on the middle class and young people just entering adulthood.
Floor lamp "Lersta"
The lamp perfectly complements the design of any room. You can place it in any convenient place, and adjust the direction if necessary. Recommended for reading. The height of the product is 131 centimeters. Caring for the lamp is easy; just wipe it with a dry cloth.
Price – 1,399 rubles.
Furniture for garden and cottage
Most garden owners know what they expect from home and garden furniture. It should be compact, lightweight, durable, resistant to moisture and sunlight, with a simple folding mechanism. IKEA knows how to satisfy all needs.
ASKHOLMEN set
It includes a folding table and a chair with a soft cushion. The table is installed against the wall of the veranda or terrace. What else do you need for a pleasant morning tea?
Set ASKHOLMEN IKEA
Advantages:
- The stylish and original set is made of solid acacia, which is not afraid of moisture and even early autumn snowfall. Simply wipe the surface and leave the kit to dry in a well-ventilated area;
- Treated with a translucent stain, which not only gives the furniture a tint, but also extends its service life;
- Easy to fold;
- Takes up little space when stored.
Flaws:
- Requires regular treatment with stain, which is sold separately.
The set will cost ASKHOLMEN customers 6,300 rubles. An additional chair can be purchased for an additional fee.
Mirror "Flaknan"
The floor mirror measures 30x150 centimeters. It will look organic in any room due to its simple design and calm color scheme. A special film protects against splinters if the glass breaks. Caring for the mirror is easy - it can be wiped with a damp cloth, or a special glass cleaner is also suitable.

Chair POENG
One of the most recognizable IKEA products was created by Japanese designer Noboru Nakamura and has been successfully operating for 40 years. High quality and relatively low price have helped POENGU stand the test of time.
The frame consists of multi-layer laminated birch veneer and is comfortably springy. The upholstery is soft and durable fabric that is easy to care for. Available in various colors and can be complemented with a footstool. Price from 6,999 rub.
Dinner table
At first glance, I was captivated by the kitchen table called “Danderyd”. Tabletop in a natural wood shade made of oak veneer on elegant steel legs. For a rustic, romantic interior - an excellent option. And the price is affordable - 11,499 rubles.
Potato peeler
Potato peeling knife STEM, price: 49 rub.
Another worldwide favorite of housewives who value convenience and their own time. The knife is easy to use, safe, and prevents the risk of cuts. According to numerous reviews, with this knife the time for peeling vegetables is saved twice. It’s not for nothing that it is included in the list of the most purchased products in Ikea: World bestsellers from Ikea: 8 popular items for any interior.
Finger puppets
Eh, I wanted to suggest the game “Pegs and Hammers”, but it seems to have been taken off sale. It's a pity. Perfect for developing motor skills for very young children. But okay. If you need a gift for a child, then I recommend a set of finger puppets. There is “Titta Dur”, where 10 toys cost 349 rubles and “Gulleplutt” for 99 rubles each. The second ones, of course, are made more efficiently, but a set for 349 is also suitable for a start. They live a long time, although children quickly outgrow them. And the child himself can play with them (especially convenient when traveling, when you don’t want to take a lot of toys with you), and parents can give the child a show or tell a bedtime story with their help.
Small shoe racks
If the corridor or hallway cannot boast of large dimensions, you should think about purchasing vertical storage. The BISSA shoe shoe is perfect for this. It doesn't take up much space and has a couple of storage compartments.
Thanks to it, it will be easy to ensure and maintain perfect cleanliness, since eight pairs of shoes or even more can be placed inside. The top can be used to store a variety of items. The shoe shoe is sold in three colors: white, brown and black, and the cost is 1,699 rubles.
Rack Kallax
Rack “Kallax”, RUB 7,999.
Another favorite of buyers around the world is the Kallax shelving unit. It can be transformed as you wish: placed vertically or horizontally, filled with drawers, boxes or additional inserts. This will help create order: New items from Ikea for comfort and perfect order in the house. One or more of these shelving can be used to divide a room into zones, which is especially important for studio apartments.
