IKEA Croydon

I simply love IKEA for quality products and variety. You name it and they have it. Home Furniture, like bedrooms, kitchen, study, lounge, living room, garden, bathrooms and out door Furniture. They have handy stuff. They have decoration items, crockery and cutlery. Table lamps, hanging lights, ceiling lights, shelves and wall hangings. They have kitchen items of all types. Anything and everything you need for your house. IKEA makes it so easy, everything under one roof. Keep it up

IKEA store arranged over 2 floors with everything you come to expect. Even at busy lunch times there always seem to be somewhere to sit and the tables are cleaning very carefully between each guest. Somehow they have managed to keep the price of food reasonable despite inflation in Summer of 2022. The toilets are well maintained and the staff very helpful. Overall a first rate experience.

Good place for home shopping. Went for wardrobe designing idea and the lady who helped us was wonderful and too good with her work and professional. You can get more professional help in designing in kitchen in kitchen area. Ask someone to guide to the correct location.

Best shop for a variety of items. Very creative ideas and latest products. Big store, various food options 😋, big parking lots. Only the place where trolleys are kept on first floor are not marked correctly and very easy to miss out starting of the shop unless you remember to go back after you pick up trolley.

Apart from problems with navigating my way around store and locating the short cuts, this store has a large quantity of any goods you want. Apart from popular items which sell out quickly but take weeks to restock!

Nice seasonal sections and quirky instagrammable spots located in different departments.

If you are decorating your home of need to jazz it up with some colourful bedding, accessories then Ikea is a perfect place, and guess what? You can get your steps done too! A lot of walking, also have a good restaurant so after your shopping trip you can relax with a cuppa. They have this quick pick up hotdog stand, can get busy at peak hours but they are not bad for the price you pay. Can get busy at peak times so I tend to go an hour before their closing time. If you are a plant person, it’s a heaven! So many amazing plants at reasonable prices! I love their Berry candles!

So many examples of how the various pieces can go together to make a ‘home’.
For those who struggle to imagine it in real life, it’s invaluable. If you know what you want & can imagine it, then you can skip straight to marketplace.

Escape rooms are becoming popular (but expensive). IKEA is a free escape room. There may be people in there who have been walking around in circles for a few weeks. It’s all part of the experience.

The cashiers were lovely and really helpful with my lack of hands.

I docked a star because it’s too easy to buy stuff you didn’t come for. It’s too well presented, looks beautiful and is too tempting to spend.

Living in London, in a small space it’s one of the only furniture shops that gives furniture for small, multi-function rooms.

You can (unofficially) take a trolley to the tram, then easily change to get very close to home. Or a cab (pretty cheap). It’s good to know I can get home with just less than I can carry for £1:50. Desk, chair, rug, cushions and boxes. And I’m 5ft3 & not strong.

Ikea are stepping it up with the style stakes, well done to the Croydon Branch, I utterly love your room layouts normally but boy you outdid yourselves. I didn't know where I was for a bit, an art gallery viewing an installation, within the matrix inside an Instagram feed or in the showroom of the future. How amazing, inspiring and exciting!

I was already hard pushed to make design choices in my house, being fully eclectic and an art lover but IKEA Croydon just made it worse. Ikea continues with its democratising of interior design by including so many more options now to build your own storage solution and playfulness in most of its products or room designs. It has kept a lot of its grown up rooms but has injected a great deal of fun, serenity and elegance. Walking through I really felt I could make or find a space for me.

The interactive areas, the wonderful use of projections and oh my goodness the Instagram area which looked like Instagram, glam rock and the 80s had a baby was hard to take my eyes off. I think many teenagers and people with inner teenagers are going to try that look. How wonderful to include something so youthful at IKEA and have a new younger generation feel reflected literally! I also really appreciated the colourful doors and doormats, I will now paint mine, it's what we need after the doom of coronavirus, lovely hopeful bright doors saying welcome along with a beautiful rainbow doormat.

Been coming to you since I was 11 and this time I think I stayed for the longest I ever have. You keep getting better and better! But IKEA I love your fish and chips and you had none 😭 the shame. Never run out of fish and chips please. I did have your smoked salmon which was really nice with a lovely dressing.
