The long awaited opening of the Dublin branch of IKEA has brought joy and happiness to all of Ireland, so we decided to bring you DIY-IKEA style. Our friends at American events company, La Partie Events were kind enough to create these stunning looks using primarily IKEA products; so they can be easily recreated and are perfect for creating cheap chic!
