The Top Ten Ikea Items That Every Home Needs

Get your home all styling and organised with these top ten picks from Ikea…

Ikea. It is a haven for all things home. Sometimes, though, you can go there and get lost in the sheer size of the place, not to mention the epic amount of everything that should just go home with you…

But when you can’t take everything home, there are definitely a few Ikea products that you should make sure you have on your list. We hit up our resident home styling/decorating/shopping/organising expert, Sarah Shanahan to find out more….

Keeping it organised, stylish and timeless, the top ten Ikea must haves are:

1. The ‘Pokal’ clear glass. Such an iconic style that never dates. Super strong and only 95c each, you should always grab a couple to add to the collection whenever you head to Ikea.
