Roundup: Traditional Ikea Elements Austin

Roundup: Traditional Ikea Elements
Austin

Ikea is known for its affordable and modern furniture finds, but what if you're looking for something less than contemporary? For those of you who are on the hunt for country, cottage, bungalow or traditional options, we've rounded up some of Ikea's best choices! More after the jump!

Ektorp loveseat $479

Ingolf kitchen bench $229

Levanger gold mirror $79

Hemnes 6-drawer chest $279

Kaustby chair $39

Trollsta sideboard $349

Tromsnes daybed frame $179

Alvine Antik bedspread $79

Leksvik chest with 5 drawers $199

The best part of all these items is although they lean a bit toward more traditional styles, they still retain a simple, modern aesthetic and would blend in with any look you are trying to achieve. We'd love to hear about your more traditional Ikea finds or how you've managed to meld their more modern furniture with your traditional decor!

Ouch, bepsf!

Those items are not what I think of when I think IKEA. I like the kitchen bench...

I am with suzy8track. I just got my catalog today and I noticed the lamp, but I couldn't seem to find the information on it.

You didn't list the MARKOR line--those are the bookcases in that photo. I was thrilled to find them when they were first introduced to the IKEA lineup (about 4-5 years ago or so) because they're solid wood (no veneer!) and have more traditional detailing.
