This Is Most Searched IKEA Product In Your State — Do You Own It?
In the interior design world, it can be tough to find furniture, fixtures, and accessories that are as attractive as they are affordable — but it's getting easier. With designer collaborations like Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent for Living Spaces or Chip and Joanna Gaines for Target, decorating doesn't have to feel like an exclusive luxury. But one Swedish brand has consistently been offering beautifully designed pieces that won't break the bank — and it doesn't hurt that you can get some delicious meatballs while you're there. And while a few of the best-selling IKEA products already may be in your home, others might just surprise you.
A recent study by online home-buying resource Homes.com looked at the the brand's most searched items, and even broke down the findings by state. The results ranged from IKEA's famously good organizing products to — yep — that iconic blue bag. A handful of essential furniture pieces made the top 10 as well.
So if you're looking for a few ways to freshen things up in your home for the new year (besides integrating Pantone's Color of the Year, Classic Blue, of course), a good source of inspiration could be seeing what's most sought after in your state.
