25 of Our Favorite IKEA Decor Finds Under $50

Even though the holiday season is now under way, and my apartment is decked to the nines with garlands and trees, I’m still starting to think about what a 2021 at home refresh might look like for me.

Of course, I didn’t have to tell you that; you already knew it. What I can help you with though is finding a few gems in their offerings that you might have otherwise missed. I’m always trolling their “New” section for their latest and great product releases, and I’m all about a stylish blogger IKEA hack, too. From furniture to accessories, these 25 cheap IKEA finds all come in under $50 but will still make your home look like a million bucks.
