On my last trip to IKEA in Korea, I brought home six small things: a glass cup candle, a dough scraper, a flour sifter, a dishcloth, a tray and a pot stand. It came to ₩29,500 in total. This time I only picked up a few things I needed.
It had been a while since my last visit, and there was so much to look at, so I took my time. These are first impressions from unpacking them, not long-term reviews.
| Item | Price | Why I picked it |
|---|---|---|
| HÖSTAGILLE glass cup candle | ₩5,900 | A little touch of autumn for the house |
| LÄTTBAKAD dough scraper | ₩4,900 | Should come in handy when baking |
| IDEALISK flour sifter | ₩4,900 | I'd wanted one for a while |
| HILDEGUN dishcloth | ₩1,000 | Easy to pick up at this price |
| Tray | ₩4,900 | I liked the clean pattern |
| LÄMPLIG pot stand | ₩7,900 | For setting down a pot or pan while cooking |
Watch the IKEA visit and the haul. The video starts at this part.
What Did I Bring Home From IKEA?
HÖSTAGILLE glass cup candle (₩5,900). I wanted to add a little touch of autumn to the house.
LÄTTBAKAD dough scraper (₩4,900). I thought it would come in handy when baking.
IDEALISK flour sifter (₩4,900). I finally bought the flour sifter I'd been wanting for a while.
HILDEGUN dishcloth (₩1,000). At this price, it was an easy one to pick up.
Tray (₩4,900). I liked the clean pattern, so I picked it up.
LÄMPLIG pot stand (₩7,900). I'd had my eye on this one for a while. I thought it would be nice for placing a pot or pan on while cooking.
What Caught My Eye but Stayed at the Store?
If I ever make a pantry again, I'd love to have metal shelves like these.
Seeing a rice cooker fit neatly inside a drawer made me think it could be nice to keep it hidden away like this.
The kitchen displays made me think I'd like to design my next kitchen with an IKEA sink. The seasonal pieces were full of autumn colors, but I thought my wallet would be empty if I picked them up one by one, so I just enjoyed looking.
Questions About This IKEA Haul

No. These are first impressions from unpacking them, so I can only tell you why I chose them.

I can only speak for what I paid in Korea, in won. Check your local IKEA for prices and availability.
A Small Outing
I went to IKEA for a little outing, and I took my time. I left with only a few small things, and one lamp I'll probably keep thinking about.
