It's become my rule that I won't personally recommend a sofa to a reader before I've sat on it myself — they're too much of an investment, no matter what your budget is to play the guessing game. So, with that in mind, I set out to IKEA on a fact-finding mission, looking to try out some new sofas.
Because IKEA recently launched some new designs, including the UPPÅKRA, which is available in the UK and US, and the LILLESÄTER, which doesn't appear to be available in the US quite yet. However, as I was visiting a smaller store, these new designs hadn't made it to the floor quite yet. Instead, however, I spotted the JÄTTEBO range in a new eye-catching color that made me look at it in a different light. It's not a new sofa range — it's been around a few years — but I don't think I appreciated it has a little secret. A hidden storage compartment.
