IKEA

First published on 23 Dec 2008.

Shopping at IKEA is a guilty pleasure most of us won’t normally ’fess up to. If its range of simple, chic and easy-to-mix and-match furniture pieces and knick knacks already put you into Martha mode, the new 2008 collection is going to have you in overdrive. Switch your dusty, tired curtains with some new, brightly coloured ones. Change your floral cushion covers to striped ones – for that mod hipster look – and get some colour (and cheer) into your home, just because you feel like it.
