IKEA Locations

I own a restaurant and I’ve been searching for the past two weeks for LED bulbs that have **good color fidelity**. It’s surprisingly hard to find them in Europe, and I finally wanted to share what I discovered. Before diving into the numbers, here’s why it matters: CRI (Color Rendering Index) is a measure of how accurately a light source shows colors compared to natural light. A high CRI is important so that food, textiles, and décor look natural and appealing. But CRI alone doesn’t tell the whole story — **R9 specifically measures how well reds are rendered**, and reds are particularly important in restaurants to make dishes look vibrant and appetizing. Many LEDs have high CRI b...

Hello, I am moving to Belgium, Antwerp in a bit. I am looking for a high quality furniture store that offers interior advice. Does anyboby know any ? :

Greetings! This is my first time writing to this community, and I hope to find some interesting ideas here! I have a new apartment, and my main problem is that I don't know how to handle open spaces. This is my living room, also I work here. There's retro wooden furniture here — this huge cabinet, that doesn't fit anywhere else because of the ceilings. I'd be very happy if you could suggest ways to zone it and use the empty zones created by the sloping roof. I was thinking about a shelving unit, but it seems too much of a conflict next to this retro cabinet. I also have an ottoman (it's like a bed without headboards) that I could place in my work area and add i...

Hi all, I've been contemplating something I rarely see discussed in here and something I struggle with on my own anticonsumption journey. The dopamine withdrawals you have from not purchasing and the guilt I struggle with when I do purchase things. Shopping used to be a source of pleasure for me; regardless of if it was grocery shopping or clothing/personal item(s) shopping. I've always enjoyed thrifting and estate sales, so once I became more conscientious of our waste it was easy to transition to adapting to only buying clothing and furniture second hand My main problem seems to be around consumables. Everything is in plastic. Cleaning supplies, health supplements, yogu...

Hi, I'm looking for a high quality sofa, dining table, chairs, carpet bed,.. the works. Can anybody advise me a good furniture store in Antwerpen Belgium?

Hello, I am moving to Antwerp Belgium in a few months. I was wondering if anybody has any tips for a cool furniture store there that also offers interior advice.

I’m a first time home owner and wanted to get a list of home maintenance tasks, so I searched around and made a compilation of multiple lists. Feedback welcome, especially any recommendations of video instructions for any of these tasks. References refers to the numbered list of references at the very last section. I originally made this in excel and I used ChatGPT to reformat into list format. ## Deck **Clean and stain/paint decks** *Frequency:* Summer (7,6,10), Periodically (1) *Instructions/Notes:* It generally just needs a good washing. A deck may also need re-staining. Also check for any loose boards or posts and repair as needed. For pressure treated wood decks, apply coat o...

It’s surprisingly difficult to find LED bulbs in Europe that have both a **high general CRI (R1–R8)** and a solid **R9 value** for rich reds. Most manufacturers chase efficiency and lumen output, and as a result, many LEDs sacrifice **color fidelity**, especially in the red spectrum. Interestingly, **IKEA** — a company known mainly for furniture and lifestyle products rather than lighting technology — has actually done a great job addressing this, because their **business model, marketing strategy, and in-store experience all rely on good lighting**. All their **2700 K bulbs** come with **CRI > 90** and **R9 > 40**, which is impressive given their price and availabilit...

I am moving into an apartment that has some old furniture. In general it’s good quality and in a good shape. We are also bringing some Ikea furniture and I am a bit worried it will look awful. I don’t have much money to spend, so I am wondering what kind of aesthetic I should aim for to give it some personality and make it look cozy and a bit modern. Could you share pictures and style names that could inspire me please? I have tried looking in Pinterest but didn’t find anything that uses truly old furniture. Photos 1-3 are the new apartment, the rest is some of the Ikea furniture.

My Daughter had an appointment last night. In that appointment they allow her to sit in bean bag chairs. So far, we are several months into these appointments, she has been using the room with the bean bag chairs, and we have had no issues. Well, an hour after we got home last night from this appointment, as I was getting both her and her brother ready for bed, I always check their hair, as head lice is one of my biggest fears.. It absolutely terrifies me. Sure enough, while looking through her hair I spotted a single lice bug. I was able to grab it with my finger nails. I looked at it for a second to make sure I was indeed seeing a louse. Then I popped it. I put my daughter in the tu...

Location: Continental USA Budget: $2k or under Dimensions: unexpanded table length should be under 50”. Width less than 40”. Style: I do not want a table with middle seam. It has to be with a leaf attached on the side, where the table frame expands to accommodate the leaf. A mechanism like ikea ekedalen is ideal. Where have I looked: ikea, west elm and it’s associated brands and google search Where I don’t know how to look (need references): etsy/custom furniture shops Mods, I hope third time is the charm for this post. Where can I find an extendable dining table with a leaf that attaches on one side, as opposed to the center. Also one where the legs move to create space for the l...

Saw the old post on this subreddit and decided to chance it anyway; surely the new revision they released will have resolved this catastrophic failure, that results in the mechanism seizing, right? Nope. Tied my Brompton to a table while I went to the counter to buy lunch, and it failed stuck. This lock is less than two weeks old and has only been used about three times in completely dry indoor conditions and has otherwise lived in my bag. I suppose if there's anywhere that's a *good* place for your lock to jam shut, it's a furniture store that serves meatballs which happened to have a saw to hand... Overall 2/10 don't recommend unless you want to explain to your offic...

As the title says, I'm looking for a BIG mirror but I have checked out all the furniture stores in Helsinki area and around and there is nothing of the manner. Most are just tall and slim. I've also checked Tori and some secondhand stores. Would love some suggestions or if there is someplace that can make it on order

For the renovation task tiny room, my person asked for vintage furniture for his grandparents coming over. I have no vintage option in furniture, even when going to the store rather than my inventory? The three not shown in my picture above (due to space on my screen) are classical, small, luxury, and simple. Help 😭

I was browsing furniture on ikea.com and I dont know what I did to make this happen but a screen came up on the bottom half that showed a chart of the items price history. Im using a Samsung phone. Anyone know how to make this screen come up?

With this one, the dish itself was much less successful. I made a mold to fashion a foot and stem for this dollar store cup. I used a penny, onto which I glued an IKEA wooden shelf peg. I first tried making the mold from that solid clay-like stuff. Didn’t come out great. Then I did a poured mold. That went a little better. But I had some trouble gluing the stand onto the cup straight, so it’s on a bit of a drunken angle! Still, I think the trifle itself came out okay! The little pumpkin was from a Michael’s set of miniatures.

I have a 4x4 kallax for storing my board games. My question is I have a decent collection of smaller board games that don’t take up the full width of a kallax or card games, same story. Is there an ikea shelf that is the same width as the kallax that I can stack on top of my current kallax but with smaller compartments, so maybe a 1x6 that is the overall same width that would make better use of the space to store my smaller games? That way I’m not storing smaller games in a massive cube. Thanks!
