15 stylish pieces you won't believe are from Ikea

Best known for its iconic Billy bookcases and sensible Klippan sofas, Swedish superstore Ikea has come a long way since it first appeared on British shores 30 years ago.

Recent design collaborations with a host of well-known industry experts include Danish interiors stars Hay and vibrant boho brand Jassa, while the giant of the interiors world has cemented its design credentials.

The Scandi company has always been the top go-to shop for quick, budget-friendly home makeovers, with most of its top selling items instantly identifiable in homes across the country.

Now, the home superstore has added one-off furniture pieces and home accessories you'll never guess come from the store.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR

Brass has taken over copper as the most on-trend metallic for the home and, thanks to its slick Art Deco-inspired design, visitors would never guess Ikea's brass table clock is from the furniture giant.

And if you think your table settings need something a little extra, this dark blue bowl will wow any guests to your home. Simply add some nibbles to the bowl for stylish party decor.

Meanwhile fans of the maximalist trend will love this floral three-piece sofa, below, designed to be comfortable and trendy.

Miles away from the typical Scandi-aesthetic, this tropical leaf print armchair creates a style statement.

Finally, this velvet pouffe from the popular Stockholm range comes in a dark blue, burnt orange and charcoal grey.

Use it as a foot stall, extra seating or even a table if you place a tray on top.

Scroll through the gallery above to see more inspiration on how to style your home...
