Faux it till you grow it: 14 IKEA faux plants that I love

Green alert! IKEA FEJKA faux plants are on sale now.

Plants. Essential in a home’s decor but they are not the easiest of housemates to have. Plants are living things after all, and they demand your time and attention to thrive.

So while you’re getting your thumbs green, there are faux plants.

However, not all artificial plants are created equal. Most of the IKEA FEJKA faux plants — the leafy ones — are quite lifelike. If you don’t look too closely. As for the flowers … you’ll need to be more picky with them.

Faux plants can definitely give your home a green boost, especially in darker spaces where it’s impossible to keep anything alive.

You can also keep a few of them faux plants stored away and change them up with the seasons.

These 14 are my favourite picks from the IKEA FEJKA range. What’s more, most of them on sale at the IKEA Summer Sale (USA).

(FYI, the measurements refer to the pot size, not the height of the plant. Click the caption link to view details on IKEA website or purchase online.)

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
