42 Chic IKEA Items That Look Expensive But Cost Less Than $100

There's something incredibly magnetic about IKEA. Whether you pop in a store or browse online, once you shop, you simply can't stop. It's one of those places where you go in for a couple of things, and come out with an entire shopping cart you never knew you needed. But the price and the quality is so unbeatable, you really can't go wrong. And thanks to the minimal Swedish style, their designs are usually timeless classics that won't date come next season either. 

So in honor of one of our favorite affordable home brands, we trawled every section to find the chicest and the cheapest pieces in store right now. We sectioned them out per room so you can upgrade the space that needs it most or why not upgrade all of them? We won't judge. Happy shopping. 

Living Room

We simply have no words for how chic this rattan chair is. We can see it in a living room with a soft sheepskin or pillow but it could also sit comfortable in the corner of a bedroom.

Quality throws are hard to come by at an affordable price. This one is 100% and the stripes are a classic.

Kitchen

Aprons aren't just for grandmas. This one will save your pretty clothing from being splashed or spluttered on by that boiling hot tomato soup you're stirring on the stove, and that is worth $13.

Dining Room

IKEA Sjuttiofem Pendant lamp $12

IKEA PS 1995 Candlestick $8

If there's one thing I learned from my Swedish friends, it's everyone looks better by candlelight. They're always burning candles instead of turning on lights and it creates such a warm and ambient mood.
