First look: a visit to IKEA’s new Trinoma branch

IKEA makes it easier for northies to get Scandinavian-coded interiors.

Home buddies, the news is out. The classic and staple household name in affordable interior design, IKEA, has made its way to Quezon City. The newly opened store is bringing not only its well-loved items for home furnishings, but also an expert planning feature for those who may need help with their home spaces.

Apart from saving the long trip down south for those in the north, here are four things you can definitely do on your visit to the IKEA Plan and Order Shop.

Look around!

Even with the 500-sqm space allotted on the first floor of TriNoma in Quezon City, the newly opened IKEA in Quezon City still houses a number of items that can fit your household needs. While the Pasay branch still holds the complete range of home furnishings of the brand, the IKEA Plan and Order Shop is more of a gateway for those who want to see what IKEA is all about.

Inside the store are model vignettes of bedrooms, kitchens, and living spaces for you to take some inspiration from. Whether you are there to do some window shopping or to experience the vibe and feel of an item, this branch is the most accessible—especially if you are a Northie.

The store features design vignettes that can be your inspiration for your next renovation or home redesign.

Take your pick

According to IKEA Plan and Order Shop Manager Gelo Gacad, there are roughly 100+ types of in-store items that customers can easily check out if they catch their eye. Offerings include big pieces such as sofas and bookshelves to decorative pieces like throw pillows and kitchenware.

But like with any home decor store, the options will be ever-evolving. “We hear our customers’ voices and we take everything, like feedback, into consideration,” says Graced.

Consult with IKEA design specialists

Perhaps one of the main features of the IKEA Plan and Order Shop is its planning service for kitchen cabinets. Customers can sit down with an IKEA design specialist to discuss the specifications of their home space sizing. From there, they can help with planning for kitchen cabinets and wardrobes for bedrooms and living rooms.

In-store, customers can find a range of options for door styles and materials. Wardrobe styles are also on display, which customers can also seek a free consultation with design specialists for any help with measurements. Currently, the free consultation is available for bedrooms, kitchens, and living spaces.

Best to go in prepared with your home space’s overall sizing before meeting with an IKEA design specialist.

From the type of wood to the knob accessories, customers can build their kitchen, living room, and bedroom pieces—just make sure you know your space’s sizes!

Arrange for delivery

Can’t find what you are looking for in the IKEA Plan and Order Shop? Customers can first browse for the items they need, order from the full IKEA range of over 8,500 articles found in Pasay, and have the items delivered to the IKEA Plan and Order Shop.

For free consultations, should customers decide to push through with the design, they can immediately file their order and schedule the installation with a specialist at the most convenient time. As per their store’s policies, there is an assurance of a seamless installation and a 6-month warranty on the job.
