A $10,000 IKEA Kitchen Makeover: What We Learned the Hard Way

A couple renovated a dated 1990s kitchen for about $10,000 by DIY-installing IKEA cabinets and materials, taking two months and finishing with warm wood-toned cabinetry, a green backsplash, and beige hex tile. They highlight key lessons: pay for IKEA’s professional measuring service, start prep work earlier, and plan for a temporary kitchen to reduce disruption; also test grout color on a small patch before committing. Their experience shows thoughtful planning can be as crucial as materials to achieve a cohesive, affordable remodel.

IKEA 365+ Stainless Steel Container Tops Consumer Reports as Best Food Storage

Consumer Reports crowned IKEA’s 34-ounce 365+ stainless steel food storage container as the best overall, beating Pyrex and other brands for seal quality, durability, and versatility (oven, fridge, freezer). Priced at about $8.99 total ($6.99 for the stainless base and $2 for the plastic lid), it features a leakproof polypropylene seal and dishwasher-safe lid; a bamboo lid variant exists but is not leakproof and nearly matches the price. The container has many positive reviews on IKEA’s site and Reddit, though some users dislike the bamboo lid.

Ikea's Lightweight Inflatable Chair Passes the Cat Test

Ikea’s PS 2026 Easy Chair is a $200 inflatable armchair built around a tubular frame with a dual-chamber air seat, pumped by a foot pump and wrapped in a fabric layer for comfort. Weighing about 8 kg (18 lb) and packing into a six-inch-thick box, it marks Ikea’s return to inflatable furniture after earlier failures and has reportedly withstood cat testing as well as human testing, signaling potential future air-filled products beyond this chair.
