Do IKEA step stools and folding steps in wood offer beautiful Scandi design?

A wooden step stool or step ladder brings Scandinavian style and everyday practicality into your home. It’s a great match for kitchen fronts, kitchen cupboards and pantry shelves. You’ll find painted wooden step stools as well as models in a warm natural finish, and many fold away neatly when you’re not using them. When they’re left out, these simple designs with two or three treads look at home in most rooms. They give you steady support for cooking, cleaning windows or decorating and they can double as an extra seat when you need one, for example while peeling potatoes in the kitchen. With time, small signs of wear can often be sanded back, helping it last for years.

Do stools and step ladders in steel create a modern industrial look?

Love industrial-style cabinets and shelving? If you want something sturdy in looks and in everyday use, you’ll find metal step ladders and stools at IKEA. They’re a reliable way to reach higher and their hard-wearing surfaces make them handy for DIY jobs in the workshop or garage. Of course, a small metal step ladder can work anywhere in the home, too, especially if you like an industrial look.

What features do plastic step stools offer?

Plastic step stools are great when you want something lightweight and easy to wipe clean. They work well in humid rooms, kitchens or even out in the garden. Depending on the design, they can also be a handy option for families, as many are light to move and have rounded edges. You’ll find colourful styles that suit bathrooms or children’s rooms, as well as simpler designs that suit any kitchen or living room.
