IKEA Announces Next Wave Of Price Reductions

• IKEA’s iconic ‘BILLY Bookcase’ among hundreds of customer-favourite items set to have prices slashed ahead of Easter 
• It’s part of a New Lower Prices roll-out which kicked off in January, re-affirming IKEA’s commitment to affordability
• The retailer is passing on £125m in savings from improved purchasing goods costs to customers

IKEA has today announced its next wave of price cuts on hundreds of its most-loved items – including the iconic ‘BILLY Bookcase’ – ahead of the Easter holidays, as part of its ongoing commitment to provide a more affordable life at home for customers. 

The retailer is passing on £125m in savings made through the easing of cost pressures into New Lower Pricing for its customers. From today [March 18], 400 items will be reduced across its Living Room, Bathroom, Bedroom ranges and more.

It’s part of a continued roll-out of New Lower Prices across hundreds of items which kicked off in January on 1,500 products, serving as a long-term change to pricing of items.

Customers will be able to shop some of the retailer’s most popular items such as BILLY Bookcases - £199 down to £150 – and BRIMNES and MALM bedframes - with savings of up to £60 - boosting affordability for shoppers during what continues to be a challenging cost living environment for many.

Earlier this year, the retailer announced it had experienced improvements to purchasing goods costs in 2023, after a challenging period in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling it to increase affordability on thousands of items.

Michaela Quinlan, Chief Commercial Officer at IKEA UK and Ireland, said: “At IKEA, our aim has always been to ensure our items are as affordable as possible for as many people as possible. The next wave of New Lower Prices represents the next phase in our commitment to restore more affordable pricing on our most in-demand ranges – passing on savings to help customers’ budgets stretch further.”

Among IKEA's New Lower Price items are:

BILLY Bookcase

You can get a BILLY Bookcase (80x30x202, pictured above*) with glass doors and a stylish grey-metallic finish for £150, down from £199.
