Chintz Changers<\/h2>\n
From the memorable \u2018Chuck Out Your Chintz<\/a>!\u2019 mantra of the 1996 adverts to ex-catalogue pieces of IKEA furniture hitting the height of cool for lovers of quirky vintage<\/a>, the Swedish flatpack kings have always managed to stay ahead of the interiors game. And now, as far as we\u2019re concerned, they\u2019ve broken through the third wall\u2026<\/p>\n

Antiques Roadshow Falls for Flatpack!<\/h2>\n
Hot off the press, we\u2019ve learned that the BBC\u2019s Antiques Roadshow<\/a>, the unquestionable experts on \u2018proper\u2019 antiques, are planning on filming an episode of the show at the very first UK branch of IKEA some time in 2027.<\/p>\n
The Warrington branch was the very first store that the Swedish giant opened in the UK \u2013 back in 1987 \u2013 and was greeted with a crowd of thousands, some of whom had camped out the night before. As the doors opened, 7,000 people swarmed in, desperate to pick up \u00a325 sofas and bookcases for a fiver.<\/p>\n

Iconic IKEA Collectables<\/h3>\n
To mark the 40th anniversary of IKEA Warrington, the Antiques Roadshow is planning a special episode to be filmed inside the store\u2019s labyrinthine halls. But IKEA doesn\u2019t sell antiques, I hear you cry!<\/p>\n
You\u2019re right, it doesn\u2019t, but some of their products have proved so popular over the years that they have become collectables. Step forward the following vintage icons, all on sale at Vinterior\u2026<\/p>\n
