Also, were we all aware that Ikea ships basically everything now?! There's honestly nothing I love more than aimlessly wandering around Ikea and getting lost in a maze of shockingly affordable furniture and gadgets I never knew I needed. However, I've found a new favorite hobby, and it's aimlessly wandering the pages of Ikea's online shop. There are so many fun yet useful things to discover, from kitchen must-haves and bedroom upgrades to adorable lighting fixtures and genius organization solutions. Buy now, high-five yourself later. Promising review: "Love this long guy. He was easy to put together and looks great anywhere he fits. The light is soft and warm and turns off after 15 minutes." —Aimee Promising review: "Love these!! I got two of them, and I am using them as clothes hampers; side by side, they look great. We have a lot of dogs, and having clothes in the hampers off the ground helps a lot for us. Would love to see these in more color options. I want to add a bunch more down our mudroom hall and use as recycling bins, etc. Loving how easy these are, and installation was a breeze. Would 100% recommend." —Heather Includes the pegboard, five hooks, and one shelf. You can also pick up an accessory pack for $15.99 — it features three clips, two hooks, and two shelves that will fit perfectly in the pegboard. Promising review: "I bought this to organize my kid's art supplies and it's great. So many different ways to keep things together." —Jeri Promising review: "This was slightly larger than I thought, but it's very nice. Lightweight but also quite sturdy and well-made." —Karen Promising review: "Very sturdy and easy to install. After I bought the first one, I went back for three more." —Linda Promising review: "I bought this to hang scarves and hats by my door. Perfect and cute way of corralling the mess." —Nancy Promising review: "I like this because it's multifunctional in a child's room. For now, it acts as convenient shelving on the wall. Later on, I'll take it down so my baby can play with it. I plan to paint it to make it more personal." —Anonymous Promising review: "This vase is exquisite. It is a beautiful, bold color in an abstract design. Clean, modern, and sculptural. The glass is substantial. Excellent quality for such a reasonable price. This item exceeded my expectations." —Sandra Promising review: "Needed a thin laundry basket for a small bathroom. This is perfect, large enough for a large load, and was easy to put together." —Alexandra Promising review: "The container sizes were perfect, and it gives my patio an almost whimsical look with the round wooden dowels." —Cynthia Promising review: "Bought this years ago, and it is still going strong, looking good. It's on a screened porch year-round." —Anonymous Promising review: "Absolutely adorable box, my favorite thing in the new collection! The lid locks if you turn slightly to the left or right, which makes the cat look like it’s got a turned head. The box is very spacious and pretty sturdy." —Aj Promising review: "The Varmblixt is my favorite lamp I‘ve owned. It provides just enough light to fill a room, but only enough to feel warm and cozy! Hygge at its best! I own two now, one for home and one for my office." —Richard Promising review: "The box fits perfectly under our bed and is easy to open, even if you're a little impatient or in a hurry. Our bedside drawers are small, so we needed an easy solution to store the various items we need on hand at night. Bigger drawers wouldn't have been enough." —Fox Promising review: "I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!! They work great for tennis shoes, Crocs, and sandals. They allow you to put twice as many pairs in the same space. I HIGHLY recommend!!" —Tracey Promising review: "Perfect for my 4-year-old's shoes. Fits on the side of the counter. We have such a small space, and this really made it better for us." —Amber Note: This does need to be attached to a wall. Promising review: "I was looking for a shoe holder and organizer that was both slim and not very deep because it would have to be put behind a door. It fits perfectly! And it works great and looks fabulous." —Courtney Promising review: "I bought this most handy gadget to use in my sewing room. It's perfect to hold my hand tools in a convenient location, it's portable for travel and attending workshops, and it's easily stored away. I'm wishing I'd bought a couple more!"—Wendy Promising review: "I purchased two of these for my cats' litter boxes, and they work perfectly! They're very cute, and also out of the way. Very convenient when it comes to cleaning, you just slide it out of the shelf!" —Shae Promising review: "I am really impressed with the style and quality of this ottoman for the price. The pleats and piping elevate the design, and the pale blue color beautifully complements my much more expensive armchair in my traditional/coastal living room. Well done, Ikea!" —Anonymous reviewer Price: $129.99 (available in two colors) Promising review: "This colander is easy to use and very useful when needing to strain vegetables or noodles. Easy to clean up. Sturdy!" —Arthur Promising review: "Perfect to display indoors because it is a work of art in itself and will complement most decor. I also like that it is on the small side (think small coffee can), so it doesn't take up too much space. The narrow spout helps to aim water where it needs to go without spillage. The gold handle is just the icing on the cake!" —Jo Ann Promising review: "Cute design. It's perfect for the bedroom. I have one on each side of the bed to hold my accent pillows and an extra blanket." —Penny Promising review: "I use this to put my fruits and yogurt in. The top is where I put my granola. It comes in very handy for a parfait-on-the-run cup." —Jillian Promising review: "I honestly bought this for my pan lids, and it works great and stores all sizes. Now I'm going back to buy one for my plates. Hahaha. Highly recommend this item, it's solid, but light, and holds six pan lids." —Claire BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
