IKEA Cheras, Kuala Lumpur-Malaysia

1. They name all of their products

IKEA Lampan

When I came to one of IKEA store in Kuala Lumpur, I realized that they host thousands of different products. It is not always about home furniture, but also kitchen appliance, kids toy, up to hand towel. I take a look there is a unique name in every product, let say Lampan for the desk lamp and Tolsby for the two-sided frame even f it just cost you 13 RM (4$) & 3 RM (1$) respectively.

IKEA grant soul in all of their products and makes us easier to remember all of it. The best part of it, you may see the designer name on your product as a way to honoue their design.

2. Wordless Instruction Manual

Hopen Instruction Manual

As Swedish company’s operating in 47 different countries by far, it is always an issue to communicate their instruction manual. But IKEA has the ultimate solution for that challenge.

As simple as : Just Picture, No words. If you want to assemble things, visualization does crucial.

I have no doubt that anybody could easily digest what it means by IKEA’s instruction manual.

3. Personalized your Home

Living Room Ideas

IKEA give you numerous room design ideas and a wide range of products, that’s all made to satisfy people’s diverse needs.

Not just a sense of personal touches, but also a personal connection between you and the furniture. Simply, because you build it by yourself.

IKEA give you a room to explore, innovate, and be creative to match your home decor.
