You can find more variants of the ordning lamp at ikeahacker.blogspot.com ...including brief instructions or links to instructions. (Not much to say anyway, ordning come...

IKEA itself lists the Tirup swivel chairs together with the Kramfors range. I like the shape, but they are offered in 5 colours only, so it would depend on your colour scheme if they fit. (They do ...

Can this actually be bought?

...what I mean is, maybe there is a good reason to it and AT is (are?) aware of repeating the question, but then why not make it explicitly clear?

honestly, I like wood, but it's almost painful to look at that colour-mishmash. I can understand that you want to keep the pink oven, but the blond wood just doesn't go with it, let alone with more...

This is definitely the most stupid idea I've seen in a very very very long time. As oh so many others have said it might look orderly, but if you actually read your books it's not practical at all,...

I just wonder how many pink pearl erasers I can use in a lifetime.... which would make all the extra ones.... well .... the equivalent of the aforementioned "things", don't you think? Pencil...

I have no curtains and don't lower the blinds. There are no busy streets near, but the neighbours from the house opposite could look into my flat. Even when I had a house more ...

You sure could. Students at my school have done that (we have had a collection of soft toy taxidermy on the hallway walls for at least a year), so why shouldn't you be able to?

Actually Hamburg, Germany has at least a second one in Harburg, which I recently read about in the paper. It has the same 3-pieces-only policy like the other one mentioned above. Here's a li...

I have some IKEA pieces and some solid wood non-IKEA pieces. Almost all of them are almost 15 years old, because at that time I moved into my first own flat. The IKEA sofa is still comfy, though to...

I think I'd go for something directly attached to the individual window frames, like white blinds or (white) Roman blinds. I have white blinds directly attached to the frames of my li...

Barbecues!! My worst experience was not so much the noise, but the smoke! Here in Northern Germany we have bonfires on Easter Saturday, so that night you have to keep the windows shut shut s...

things that make me happy are: my clean and relatively tidy rooms my wall colours the fact that everything is so open and light-flooded my re...

I have tried sitting on the floor on a balcony (one of those tiny Europeans), and I must say, first of all, no longer being a teenager I wouldn't want to sit on the floor for very long, neither rea...

If I calculated correctly, that's about 76 centimeters - not a lot, but enough to sit at a table with two people. "Foldable" seems to be the magic word to me, but why not? I looked at IKEA for meas...

it came in red once, and there even was a wonderful time when there were A4 sized boxes half the height of the ones they sell now. much better for finding things.... *sigh*

Etsy says, 1/4".

not a dark colour lover, but a colour lover - my flat also definitely polarizes, especially my pink office and bright orange hallway. never mind - i just love the colours, and i've been living here...

Ikea has a built-in ironing board, too, the Akurum. Though I do wonder why it is about 50$ more expensive in the US than when you buy it in Germany.... Still, it's about the same price as the one m...
