The Best Time To Go To Ikea

The Best Time To Go To Ikea According to a journalist at the Telegraph, psychologists warn that a visit to Ikea could seriously damage your relationship.  I'm really not too sure how true this is, you've got to be pretty seriously argumentative towards each other to argue as much as the hype of Ikea causing breaks in relationships might suggest.  But, if you ARE worried about visiting Ikea with your loved ones and the thought makes you break out into a sweat, then here's a little tip for you.  The Best Time To Go To Ikea If you don't want to feel as if you are a salmon swimming upstream (or downstream against the flow if you're feeling rebellious!) along with the rest of the world, then head to Ikea at a less busy time of day to avoid the crowds and trolley-bumping antics that you dread so much.  The Best Time To Go To Ikea I recently tried this little trick with our first trip to Ikea as a couple for our new home and it earned the brownie points it deserves….  The Best Time To Go To Ikea We headed to Ikea at Milton Keynes for a Saturday evening date night at 7pm The Best Time To Go To Ikea The daytime crowds had left and most of the visitors here at this time were nestled into the cosy cafe for their Swedish meatballs and other such "traditional" dishes.  The Best Time To Go To Ikea You could pace an entire showroom several times over before seeing another human being, it was fantastic, peaceful and stress free.  The Best Time To Go To Ikea In fact, we took so much time wandering around, taking measurements, being silly with the displays, discussing our interior design and enjoying each others' company that the cafe closed before we had made it to the halfway point… so, if you plan to visit for a date night dinner, my advice would be to make sure you get there a teeny bit earlier to fit that in!  The Best Time To Go To Ikea We need to go back in a few weeks and will be doing this same routine again, it was a friend that suggested this for a pleasurable Ikea experience… she's a great friend, a wise, wise bird indeed!  My top tip for visiting Ikea? Go on a Saturday evening at 7pm, you won't need to read any more of those cheesy "Ikea Survival Guides". Ever.  The Best Time To Go To Ikea I'm interested…. When do you visit Ikea? Have you found another great time of the day or week to visit for a stress-free shopping experience? I would love to hear from you (and feel free to add links) in a comment below.
