Ikea's concept of creating affordable furniture is simply brilliant, and I think there aren't many households in the Western world that don't own at least one or two Ikea products (I know I do!)
But because of the store's popularity it can be difficult to find something at Ikea that is not too basic, but also not something that is too recognizably 'Ikea', and therefore with a bit too much 'college dorm room' feel to it.
Luckily, the past few years Ikea has been focusing on designing products that are neither: interesting pieces that are not 'too Ikea', except for their price of course. Below are seven of my favourites.
