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.

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...
