Style Inspiration - How To Interpret IKEA Style For Your Wardrobe!

Oh, the good old IKEA stores - full of  ready-to-assemble ideas and signature style of decoration! Other than Swedish meatballs, vowel rich product names, and DIY satisfaction, IKEA could be the ultimate source of style inspiration! For me, every visit to IKEA store stimulates the 'build a better wardrobe' creativity and curates more "how to" ideas!  IKEA stores (even online, if you don't have a brick and mortar one near you) can fuel your imagination too for an abundant wardrobe! Here is how to translate IKEA home style for your closet!
  • Make small changes to re-new the outfit - IKEA sofa covers can change the look of the same furniture in an instant! You can make your dress work from office to party by adding some glam and color and change the accessories!

  • Keep it tailored - The signature look of IKEA furniture - clean, elegant, sophisticated - can work very well with your wardrobe! Structured sheaths and skirts make perfect outfit base!

  • Have fun with patterns - IKEA linen section is a source of creative inspiration - the flowers, stripes patterns and colors - you can have fun with your wardrobe by mixing prints!

  • Pop of color in black outfits - Another signature IKEA style is monochromatic design with sudden burst of color! Take up your black outfits up another notch by adding a surprise pop of color!

  • Great style doesn't need to cost more - A visit to IKEA stores confirms what I have been writing in the Style For Less posts - Style should not be limited by budget! Bargain pieces, sale deals, discount stores finds can be as stylish as any designer duds! 
What is your unlikely source for style inspiration?

    IKEA is almost too sleek for me. I do have pieces from IKEA, but my ideal room would by full of a old, well-worn, well-loved, sturdy furniture like my mother's 110 year old vanity, or her 40 something year old buffet.

    Being an only child, I already know they'll be mine.
