DIY fanatics swear by Poundland boxes to liven up their Ikea units at a fraction of the price

BARGAIN-hunters are raving about storage boxes from Poundland, which they say are the perfect size for Ikea’s Kallax units.

The Swedish furniture store sells the popular shelving range, which comes in a range of sizes and colours, with multiple compartments.

Box inserts are sold separately, with a trio of colours available including black, grey and white - which don't have a lid.

But people have realised that Poundland’s boxes fit Ikea’s units perfectly - for a fraction of the cost.

An eagle-eyed shopper shared some boxes they spied in-store online, which cost £2, and come in funky patterns including leaf print and blush pink.

She shared a snap to Facebook group , saying: “Just in case anyone needs any boxes for the Ikea Kallax units.

“Bargain are £2 each at pep & co aka Poundland. Really good quality and they are the 30x30 boxes (same size as Ikea's).”

Dozens of people liked the post, with one person writing: “Ooo Thank you I will go and have a look on Wednesday.”

Another said: “The ones the sell for £1 are 33x33 which fit the kallax perfect. [sic]”

And after asking if they boxes had lids, the poster replied: “Yeah they do lovely.”
