IKEA FÖRNUFTIG air purifier so affordable and stylish

Understanding how much more time we spend indoors these days, IKEA has launched its first, affordable air purifier.

$54.99. That’s the price of clean air at home.

The FÖRNUFTIG air purifier creates healthier air by filtering away gases and particles. These can be pollutants, chemicals, pollen, dust and odors. The combination of a Hepa 12 filter that cleans away particles and a carbon filter that removes gases gives you an advanced and efficient air-purifying solution.

“All homes contain particles in different shapes, and today when we spend more and more time indoor, they can lead to, among other things, allergic reactions and bad sleep,” says David Wahl, the Product Designer at IKEA who came up with the FÖRNUFTIG air purifier.

But unlike other clunky purifiers in the market, IKEA’s blends right in with the rest of the decor.

He adds, “when we develop at IKEA, we also do it from a home furnishing perspective, and we want FÖRNUFTIG to blend into the home. That’s why you can hang it on the wall, put it on the floor or use the handle to move your air purifier to another room.”

It looks strikingly similar to the ENEBY bluetooth speaker, with its boxy design and fabric front. The ENEBY used to come in grey too.

At the moment, the fabric front of the FÖRNUFTIG comes in only one colour — grey. However, the frame itself is available in black or white, so you can pick the one that works best for the look of your home.

It’s a lightweight, just a shade under 7 lbs. And measures 18″ tall, 12″ wide and 4″ deep. Pretty easy to tuck into any corner of the room. Alternatively, it can be wall-mounted, both horizontally or vertically, to free up precious floor space.

Nevertheless, due to its size, it’s best for smaller spaces that are 85 – 105 square feet.

IKEA recommends replacing the filters within 6 months. The carbon filter retails at $9.99 and the HEPA filter at $5.49.

It is currently available in the USA and China. No news yet on the roll out to other countries.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.

Kitchen renovation reveal: Rhombus wall steals the show

It’s been a while since I did a home tour. If you’ve missed the previous reveals, you can catch up with my Master Bathroom remodel and Guest Bathroom reveal . Today, let’s focus on my kitchen renovation. Hands down, this is the most used room in my home. I spend crazy amounts of time in here, even when I’m not cooking. Just off to the side of the kitchen I converted an awkward space into a reading nook . In the mornings, I sit and read or pray and meditate, before it gets too warm. And on the other side, there’s a work-in-progress plant wall / indoor garden which also takes up a lot of my time. So, all in all, lots of traffic in here, and that’s not even counting cooking and eating time. The kitchen is definitely my favourite room, because the transformation is huge and I love how it turned out. Kitchen renovation: The before House 17 when I first got it, actually had 2 kitchens, which is a very common “Asian” home concept. First, the “dry kitchen”, which is where you make simp

IKEA sofa with genius armrest storage

Bet you never knew your sofa armrests were prime storage space. Ok, so the guys at IKEA are the masters of hidden / secret storage everywhere. In fact, one of the things I most loved about the ESKILSTUNA sofa series was the undercover storage on the chaise lounge, but… what? More than 80 liters of storage space wasted on the armrests? NO WAY! I really don’t understand how they didn’t take that opportunity with several different armrest modules. Mobile chargers, cup / can holders, foldable tables, refrigerators… there’s SO MUCH space in there. I can’t stop thinking on different options! For myself, I went for two designs. First, a “full space” design on the (right) side of the chaise lounge. (The cavity fits two foldable chairs). Second, on the left armrest — a flip open section for “mobile charger / remote control storage / etc.”. Below that, a full-depth pull-out drawer, tall enough to store A4 sized magazines. This is the final result: Full space design, right of cha
