Small steps to give your furniture a longer life
Our furniture is designed to last for many years. At the same time, we are continuously working to make both our products and our business more circular, making it easier to repair, reuse, resell or recycle furniture. Already today, we offer a range of solutions that can help extend the life of your furniture, while giving you affordable ways to refresh or renovate your home.
Useful tips
Refresh your furniture
Often, you can refresh well-used furniture for little cost or effort. Perhaps your sofa has washable and replaceable covers, or your wood furniture needs only a lick of paint or wood stain for years of extra use.
Oil the wood you have
A well-maintained wooden chopping board can last for years. Regular oiling can prevent warps and cracks, and save you having to buy a new one. A long-term friend for you and your wallet.
Fix it if you can
A minor repair or adjustment may be all you need to get a wobbly chair, table or sofa back into action. For smaller spare parts for IKEA products, you can order online. Saving you the cost and effort of replacing the furniture.
Put feet on
Stick-on floor protectors can keep your floors beautiful for longer, by helping to prevent scratch marks and scrapes from furniture. They fit firmly and easily on the bottom of chair and table legs, and are kind to your floor.
