The Best IKEA Home Decor For a Stylish Home

Give your home a beautiful high-end look with the best IKEA decor and furniture items!

Last week, I traveled about two hours away to pick up a large lot of flower frogs that I won at an online auction.

Whenever I'm far away from home I always check out the area and spend the day exploring. I usually end up finding new antique shops and thrift stores, but this time, I found an IKEA!

I never pass up a chance to go to IKEA, so after picking up my auction wins and stopping at a few thrift stores I headed to IKEA.

My plan was to grab a couple more sets of my favorite room-darkening white curtains, but I ended up walking out with a cart full.

Some of their new items are just too good to pass up and considering it's been many years since I've done an IKEA decor post, I thought it would be helpful to round up my favorite budget-friendly decor items.

THE BEST IKEA HOME DECOR ITEMS FOR A STYLISH HOME ON A BUDGET!

1. MERETE ROOM DARKENING CURTAINS

IKEA is one of my favorite places to buy curtains! Not only are they great quality, but they come in 98" lengths, which makes them perfect for hanging high and wide.

I have a set of 100% cotton Merete room darkening curtains in my office, my bedroom, and my vintage booth.

2. FEJKA ARTIFICIAL POTTED MAGNOLIA PLANT

I prefer real plants over faux, but there are a few spots in my home where it's a bit too dark for real plants to thrive. One of those places is the corner of my bedroom. It's in the back of the house and barely gets the evening sun.

I knew as soon as I saw the artificial potted Magnolia plant at IKEA that it would be a nice change to the Fiddle Leaf that was currently in my bedroom. It's larger, brighter, and something a little different.

3. FEJKA KENTIA PALM

The artificial Kentia Palm is another option that I thought was a great buy for the price. It's full, the palms can be adjusted, and it has a nice realistic look.

4. REAL PLANTS

If you're a real planter lover like I am then definitely check out the plant section next time you visit IKEA. I find that their plant prices are super reasonable and cheaper than comparable big box retail stores.

5. VARELD BEDSPREAD

I've had the dark gray waffle weave bedspread from IKEA for a few years now. It's the perfect lightweight addition to spring/summer bedding.

Can you spot all the IKEA decor items in my bedroom?

The curtains, gray bedspread, artificial Magnolia, and the small frame on my nightstand are all from IKEA!

6. VATTENKRASSE WATERING CAN

I would have bought this adorable ivory and gold watering can if I didn't already have a brass watering can that I love. The size and style are the perfect combination of stylish and functional.

7. MOJNA PENDANT LIGHT

IKEA always has a large selection of stylish and affordable lighting. I was immediately drawn to the Mojna white pendant light. It doesn't really fit the style of my home, but it would make a fun addition to a playroom or kids' room.

8. KAMPIG SWIVEL HOOK

I'm a big fan of mixing metals and the brass color hooks from IKEA are a great way to incorporate a touch of gold into your home.

9. WOOD CUTTING BOARDS

IKEA has a great selection of affordable cutting boards in a variety of wood species and sizes.

Two of my favorites are the small beech and large oak cutting boards. The small one is the perfect size to leave out on the counter and grab to cut up an apple or a small portion.

10. Pillow Covers

IKEA is hands down one of the top sources for affordable pillow covers. They have a nice variety of colors, styles, and textures that are perfect for mixing and matching.

I loved the various shades of green textured tone-on-tone covers so much that I bought them all!

11. HORNMAL THROW BLANKET

This lightweight throw blanket comes in three great colors (green-yellow, light pink, and off-white) and is perfect for adding a touch of texture to any room.

12. FLINSHULT ARMCHAIR

Dark gray is a color I'm always drawn to and I noticed two fantastic armchairs right away. They were very different styles, but both were comfortable and could work with a variety of decorating styles.

I love that IKEA is affordable and offers a variety of styles that are easy to mix and match to appeal to everyone.

If you have had the chance to wander through the styled IKEA showroom then you know this is just a small selection of the many fabulous home decor items they offer.
