IKEA is one of those stores I can't quite wrap my head around. I love so much of the furniture with its clean lines and funky colours, yet at the same time all of the kitsche messes with my brain. I enjoy IKEA, I like walking around, but I don't like the idea of everyone and their dog having the exact same furniture as me. Maybe that makes me odd, but it really is how i feel.
One thing I can say though is they have some excellent storage solutions for those of us that have limited space. This is advantageous for apartment dwellers as many of their solutions help with a variety of space-related troubles.
I will continue to shop at and walk through IKEA for kicks, but my mixed feelings will continue well into the future.
