Ah, Ikea. You can while away the afternoon cruising through their warehouse — maybe fueling your shopping frenzy at their famous food court. You will adore the sleek Swedish styling of their home furnishings, as well as the low prices. You can also find any accessories you need, including the ultimate fuzzy faux fur rugs — the same ones used to create some of the costumes in “Game of Thrones.”
Ikea also takes its commitment to ecological sustainability seriously. For example, you can check out their kungsbacka kitchen fronts made from recycled wood and PET bottles. Redo your cabinetry and do the planet a solid at the same time.

The Citizenry believes an object is only as beautiful as the environment in which it originates. The company’s merchants travel the world to work with local artisans and bring the beauty of different cultures to your home. They can offer you some of the highest quality goods available at low prices because they eliminate the middleman.
Beyond furniture, The Citizenry has a full array of home accessories to explore. Finally clean up those piles of books and magazines with a set of unique oversized baskets or warm your cold tootsies on a fuzzy Leena accent rug.
