IKEA is a landmark in the city of Hyderabad. Being the first store of this European furniture chain opened in india, the campus is sprawling as f! Be prepared to walk for at least 2 kilometers or more in order to cover the whole store. One disadvantage of the store is that it is difficult to exit without covering multiple sections if you wish to visit just a single section.

The sections are laid out in order with most thematic sections going well back to back. Kitchen and related stuff are laid out back to back, living room furniture back to back, bedroom furniture and furnishings back to back, kids rooms, bathrooms, garden area etc are all laid out one after another.

It is mostly a budget furniture shopping centre, so anyone looking for premium or luxury furniture or furnishings or fixtures, this is not the place. The designs within the economy segment however range from basic to plush designs, though the assembly format of the furniture has raised a few eyebrows about the life of the furniture it self.

Heavier items can be ordered online or gotten home delivered, else the smaller items need to be picked up from the storage warehouse at the end of the mall after noting down the item number codes which are tagged on the items on display itself.

They also have a food court on the first floor serving some basic fare to keep you going whilst you are hunting for the best fits.

The descriptions of the items are quite spot on on the item tags however and in fact make for a fairly informed decision making shopping process unlike most other furniture stores in the city.

In the photos that will be uploaded soon, I have tried to provide a broad range of almost all the sections to give a fair idea of the design selections and variety on offer. Do feel free to zoom in to the pictures in order to get a better idea.

They have also started a small range of gifting cookies and dry fruit boxes surprisingly the last time I visited which I found quite surprising and out of theme. Decided to give it a try nonetheless and they were quite decent however.

They also have a small chai samosa set off after the billing section for you to pick up something for the road or get some tummy support before you head off.

Be prepared to spend at least 2 hours here if u are looking to set up any section in the house or even shop for a basic item or two.

Happy furniture shopping!
