It's not that I do not like IKEA. Because I kind of do. It is an inexhaustible source of inspiration and creative ideas. I appreciate the effort. I like the concept. And let’s be honest that’s what they sell really well. They sell the illusion of being funky and trendy although they are the most mainstream thing ever. I find it somehow sad that so many people stock up on everything from cutlery to bathroom sink at IKEA and turn their homes into a uniform, characterless place that is tattooed all over with the IKEA logo. A couple of nice pieces made by them are very much alright here and there but you need to remember the simple rule: less is more when it comes to IKEA. However, the good thing is that there is a world beyond it so if you like the vibrant and peppy Scandinavian design, check these sites out.
