Aah, Ikea how we love you and your legendary stylish and affordable home furnishings. But much as we enjoy the meatballs, it's nice to know that these days, a trip to an actual store isn't always necessary. In fact, recently, Ikea has made far more of its products available for home delivery. Cue a sigh of relief from at least half the nation!
Gone are the days of trying to fit a sofa in the boot of your old hatchback, or standing for ages at the pick-up point while your partner/bestie gets lost at the other side of the car park. These are just some of the items you can order online – you even get 50 per cent off truck delivery if you spend over £300.
1. Flottebo sofa-bed
Ikea rules when it comes to multi-purpose pieces of furniture, and this is no exception. Ingeniously, the bak rests twist round depending on whether you want to use it as a sofa-bed, two armchairs, or a regular sofa. And its verdant green finish is very on trend.

2. Lobbak indoor/outdoor rug
if you're lucky enough to have a living space that opens directly out onto the garden, you need an indoor/outdoor rug in your life. This one caught our eye because of its classy and classic herringbone design.

3. Pepparkorn vase
How can Ikea charge just £12 for this thing of beauty? It looks like it costs far more – and you don't have to spend a fortune on flowers to fill it. Just a few springs of eucalyptus or pussy willow will do the trick.
