>>10547553i find that with furniture it's even more of a crapshoot than clothing. i can never really find a reliable source of furniture that i like, that is made well, and that is within my price range.
and tbh it's probably for the best. i think part of the critique of matchy ikea rooms is that you can tell all of the furniture was bought together. instead of a room's collection being organically grown over time, piece by piece.
there are some pieces from ikea that i like. a lot that i don't. you really have to be open to finding a thing anywhere, from ikea to artisan boutiques to estate sales etc.
