Through the blue curtain

Recognise the blue plastic? Yes it's the same as Ikea's iconic blue plastic carriers. This is the new Ikea at Oxford Circus seemingly now partly open with quirky stylings like this walk-through and selling some of their gift highlights.

A forgotten photo from Friday, I'd gone up this way after work to check out Scandinavian Kitchen's in-store groceries. I'd been mildly irked to find it shutting early at 6 just as I arrived. My irkiness wasn't helped by the staff member's offhand 'staff event, sorry about that' when I queried. Seeing the birth of a new accessible Ikea helped.

Yes it’s quirky but I can’t imagine how practical this is especially with awkward accident prone customers about.

One of my fav online shops, sorry didn't get to go in. Nice bag lady photo!

Excellent! Our nearest IKEA is about a 3 hour drive for us, so I've not been in a long time. But I love the model - especially for cheap furnishings and kitchenware.

That's rather fun

Oh how good to have one near you! Our nearest is in Warrington so I never go. Perhaps for the best as you never come out of IKea empty handed!
We were in Dunelm yesterday which is nearly as bad! Love the blue & the model. How did you manage to get it so quiet?

Very blue. I’ve never been to an IKEA as there isn’t one near me.

I went to an Ikea once outside Catania in Sicily and the only way out involved a ten-minute walk around the entire shop! Aagh. Never again.

It’s a beautiful blue. I quite like Ikea (Phil hates it). Our nearest is Nottingham, which isn’t too far away.
