#26 Ikea

If you're like me, then you want a fuss-free design solution that's affordable, yet has enough chic to set you aside from the cheap. You don't mind other people having the same furniture as you, 'cos it just compliments/complements your good taste. You prefer to get all your furniture in one location, just so it's easier, where they've been placed in display mockups, so you can better envision what you want your living space to look like. You like products that make you go, "Why didn't I think of that?" Finally, you don't mind paying a reasonable amount (say, 6% of the cost) for someone to assemble your furniture for you.

If all this is true, then Ikea's your answer. Best of all, you can polish off your pleasant shopping experience with a hotdog bun and ice cream. Meatballs and Daim cake could follow.
