BILLY Bookcase 📚
This was actually the very first piece of furniture we bought when our home was completely empty.
At first, we simply needed somewhere to store our books and important documents. Over time, we've come to appreciate just how versatile the BILLY bookcase is. You can customise it with or without doors, making it easy to display the things you love while keeping everyday clutter neatly hidden.
It's one of those timeless IKEA pieces that can adapt as your home and storage needs change and we'd definitely buy it again.
MALM 160cm Chest of Drawers
Our MALM drawers have gone through so many different configurations in our bedroom over the years, and that's exactly why we love them. They're simple, versatile, and easy to move around as our space and needs change.
Right now, they mainly store all of our vanity essentials and the bags we aren't using every day, helping to keep everything organised but easily accessible.
Definitely one of those IKEA staples that's grown with our home.
NORDEN Gateleg Table ✂️
This has become my dedicated craft table, and I absolutely love it. Whether I'm sewing or working on other DIY projects, it's the perfect workspace.
The built-in drawers are great for keeping all my sewing tools, threads, and craft supplies organised and within easy reach. We also added castor wheels, which make a huge difference because the table can get pretty heavy to move.
The best part? When I need the extra floor space, I can simply fold it up and wheel it out of the way. Such a practical piece for anyone who loves crafting but doesn't have a dedicated craft room.
BESTÅ Storage
We use the BESTÅ units as our TV console, and one of the things we love most is how easy they are to customise.
Originally, every compartment had a door, but as our family grew, we removed one of them and added a shelf instead. Now, our toddler has her own little spot in the living room for her favourite books and toys, while everything else stays neatly tucked away behind closed doors.
It's one of those pieces that grows with your home and can easily adapt to your changing needs.
BESTÅ Storage
This BESTÅ unit actually started out as part of our TV console, but it's now found a new home in our master bedroom as a bedside table and extra storage.
One of the reasons we love IKEA's modular furniture is how versatile it is. Instead of replacing furniture as our needs change, we can simply reconfigure and repurpose the pieces we already own.
GÅRDSBUTIK Bin
This has been one of our favourite storage solutions for our tiny service yard. It hides away all the everyday clutter while taking up very little space.
We use it to store hangers, detergent, and garment bags, while the bottom two bins are dedicated to our toddler's dirty laundry and our kitchen cleaning cloths.
Since it's made of plastic, we also don't have to worry about water damage if we accidentally leave the window open when it rains.
