Every piece of Ikea furniture seemingly falls under one rule: Follow the assembly instructions to a tee, no tweaks allowed. However, some cabinets from the famed furniture store are more flexible than you might assume. In an exclusive interview with House Digest, Sofia Clarke, a Media Relations Partner with Inter IKEA Group, revealed that it's surprisingly easy to replace the doors of the popular Sektion cabinets.

When you're looking to put your home on the market, making sure your kitchen ( or kitchenette) looks functional and clean is highly important. Buyers might be starry-eyed about the color of the cabinets or countertops, but they'll lose interest fast if the cabinets are awkwardly shaped and the counter space can barely handle making a meal for two.

As someone who lives in a small apartment, there are two main things I think about when looking for household items: Does it look good, and is it functional? I want the things in my space to be aesthetically pleasing (especially because they will stand out in my small space more prominently than they would in a bigger space), and I can't sacrifice an inch for something not functional.

As IKEA closes out summer with the launch of new fall blankets, cozy throw pillows, and pumpkin-shaped glassware, a fan-favorite storage product is quietly getting the axe. It's now your last chance to get IKEA's viral TRUMFISK jar -the covetable clear glass container that deserves a place in every room of your home - as the storage hero will be discontinued once the current stock sells out.

Many of us get lured into IKEA with a promise of flatpacks and Swedish meatballs and end up leaving with kitchenware we didn't know we needed. As it turns out, some of those items are better to avoid buying. All those model kitchen displays give you the illusion that, if you just have these accessories, your kitchen will be complete. And so the stacks of cheap kitchen goods beckon.

The CHOKLADHAJ Portable Organizer is a small wooden tabletop organizer measuring 8 1/4" high, 4 3/4" long, and 4 1/4" wide. Designed to hold kitchen items including spice jars, condiment bottles, cutlery, or napkins, it's a versatile piece that's spacious enough to hold your essentials or to use elsewhere in the home. The organizer is well-made (it's crafted out of pine wood), as well as practical with an easy-to-access handle for grabbing while setting a table or cooking a meal.

The IKEA TJUSIG Hanger is a sleek, wall-mounted organizer with six offshoots, providing smart storage for small spaces, made from solid wood.

The KUDDLAVA lamp, which retails for just under $15, is made from partially recycled plastic and is topped with a wooden accent knob.

The VIMPELFISK cutlery holder measures 9 inches wide and 4 inches deep, featuring a lightweight powder-coated steel body and removable bamboo handle.

"My sofa actually has hidden storage under the cushions - perfect for sweaters and extra blankets," Cleveland said at the time of the House Tour.

We bought 2 and put them by the window. Nice and simple solution for storing toys and winter jackets for 4 people in our house. They look like bay window bench seats. Easy to assemble. Highly recommend!

"Custom IKEA cabinetry really helped me save," she says.

The TUVKORNELL is a set of candleholders that come in bright orange, designed for standard taper candles, and are part of the Halloween collection.

The TROFAST Storage Box is a small bin designed for stowing various items, measuring 7 3/4 by 11 3/4 by 4 inches and priced at $1.50.

The FLODBJÖRK is a weather-resistant basket that comes with an interior plastic bucket that allows you to fill the planter with soil without having any escaping through the cracks.

The IKEA KIVIK sectional spans around 8 feet on both sides, and is hailed as the family's favorite item in their small Manhattan apartment.

I love this pot. First I bought a small one, then went back to buy a large one, but bought two instead since they look good paired.
