A Big Kudos to IKEA

Whether or not you like the look of IKEA furniture,  we can’t deny that it is probably one of the best brands in the land of consumerism. This is not an over exaggeration.

The people behind IKEA will do just about anything to make their market happy.

1. Their furniture is clean, stylish and affordable.

2. When you take it home, it is easy to assemble.

3. When you take your little ones to IKEA, they have a place to play and have a blast while mommy and daddy shop

4. Trips to IKEA entail Swedish meatballs

5. They make hilarious commercials

6. Their catalogs have the same freshness and appeal of fun magazines. We love flipping through the colorful glossy pages, which inspire us to create and evolve our own living spaces.

7. They have their own creative comedy web series called Easy to Assemble

IKEA has become a brand that has something for pretty much anyone.  Within the list above, it’s pretty darn near impossible to not be able to find something that you like.  Such is the genius of IKEA.

Loving IKEA

Getting IKEA catelogs  in the mail is always fun.  The clean and simple look brings calm and serene possibilities to our living spaces. Real life has a lot of clutter. But the possibility of sheer stylish minimalism is always a nice thought.

I believe there is something for everyone at IKEA.  I’m not a complete IKEA nut. My apartment is very eccelectic, and not some type of showcase for the brand. What  I do have a penchant for are their storage solutions and their accessories (e.g. coffee tables, kitchen tools etc.).

Today I found an actual social network of people who love IKEA. I can’t really think of other interior design brands with their very own online fan club of enthusiasts. Pottery Barn and Z-Gallery don’t have social networks. And neither does Shabby Chic.

I suppose it must be fun to blog, post pictures and make friends with other people who have renovation and decorating projects. This network is something I will definitely be checking out.
