THIS is why the new IKEA is everything you’ve been waiting for

Everyone knows that the easiest way to prove you're the adultiest adult on the block is to spend your Sunday afternoon making your way around Ikea, right?

And unlike other adult endeavours, an afternoon spent examining shower curtains, deliberating over door knobs and weighing up the pros and cons of different storage boxes can be inexplicably fun.

It can also, however, be fairly time-consuming which is why we are PUMPED to hear that the Republic's second outlet is set to offer the first Order and Collection Point!

The store, which will be located at The Park in Carrickmines, means that those on-the-go can place an order from the IKEA range which can then be either collected or delivered to your home.

Oh, and it gets better, ladies. Much better.

The new store is legit the holy grail for anyone who has yet to learn the difference between skirting boards and dado rails as you will have the chance to chat with staff and get the lowdown on anything from bedroom furnishing to kitchen cupboards.

And if you're the indecisive kind? The store actually has a selected range of unique products which you can test and take home. We know, it's a dreamland.

So if you've been only dying to up your interiors game, but didn't know where to start then this new outlet is exactly what you've been waiting for.

Our mothers will be so proud!
