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