Courtesy of IKEAFurnishing the first place you call your own is a big deal. It needs to be more elevated than your dorm room, but the pieces also need to be affordable. You want quality furniture that will last well beyond your first lease, but it also needs to be adaptable to suit your ever-evolving style. The foolproof solution to all of these needs? IKEA. The retailer has long mastered Scandinavian simplicity, with functional, budget-friendly furniture that works with a range of styles. Here are seven selects to make your first apartment feel like home. The best part? These are proven favorites, with ratings of 4+ stars out of 5 from hundreds, if not thousands of reviews—so you can trust that each and every one will deliver both quality and style.1KALLAX Shelf Unit$80 at IKEAYour dream of built-in bookshelves may be a few years (or decades) away, but that doesn’t mean you can’t fake it. Use the adaptable KALLAX series to build a shelving display that suits your space by combining different-size units.2MALM Bed Frame$219 at IKEAFeaturing clean lines and an unfussy design, the MALM is an IKEA classic, available in three sizes (full, queen, and king) and four finishes (white, blue, and dark brown or oak veneer). The high headboard offers ample back support for those work-from-bed days, and the sides can be adjusted to fit varying mattress heights. If you need extra storage, just add the rolling MALM underbed storage boxes.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below3ÄLVDALEN Sleeper Sofa$449 at IKEAIt’s guaranteed that your friends will want to come for an overnight visit in your first apartment, and you’ll want to do them one better than a blow-up air mattress to sleep on. Enter the attractive and comfortable ÄLVDALEN sleeper sofa. It easily folds out to a full-size bed, and even features storage under the seat to hold the bedding. Plus, it comes with a 10-year limited warranty, so you can trust its durability for years to come.4MICKE Desk$90 at IKEAA full-blown home office may not be in the cards for a first pad, but a sleek workspace that won’t detract from the vibe of your living room certainly is. The streamlined MICKE desk features a long tabletop (at nearly 56 inches, it can fit two chairs) and a cable compartment to keep cords hidden away.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below5LACK Wall Shelf Unit$100 at IKEA“Highly aesthetic,” “modern and so practical,” “sturdy and well-designed”—these are just a few of the comments from 1,300+ reviewers about why they love this shelf unit so much. Use it to turn unused vertical wall space into an artful display of ceramics, photos, and books. Hung vertically, each shelf can hold up to six pounds.6STORKLINTA 3-Drawer Chest$120 at IKEASimple, modern, and highly functional, the STORKLINTA dresser features integrated handles on the upper edge of the drawers for a hardware-free design. The anchor-and-unlock feature reduces tip-over risk by requiring the chest be anchored to the wall for more than one drawer to be opened at once.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below7NISSAFORS Utility Cart$30 at IKEAWhether you need more storage in your tiny kitchen or you’re simply looking for a minimalist bar cart, the NISSAFORS is the answer. It’s made of powder-coated steel, it’s available in four finishes—sophisticated black is our favorite—and it’s been tested to IKEA’s strictest standards for stability and durability, so you know it’s built to last.
