Ikea has already solved our love problems with their witty instructions, but this time it's their products that are going to help us with our relationship problems.
Working together with a Swedish agency Åkestam Holst, IKEA has changed the names of their products to match the most frequently googled relationship problems in Sweden. Their recently launched “Retail Therapy” website pairs each problem with the product that might possibly solve the matter. For example, an easy answer to “My son plays too much computer games” seems to be a pair of scissors, while your snoring partner's problem might be simply solved by a single daybed. The idea is a part of IKEA's newest "Where Life Happens" campaign.
It’s not the first time Ikea surprises us with their brilliant ideas. Check out this powerful awareness campaign highlighting the horrible living conditions of Syrian refugees.

So, who is going to use the bed? The partner who snores or the person who is annoyed by it?

They renamed Svalka flutes to Svalk in Russia, because in Russian “svalka” means “dumpster”.

Considering Ikea is based out of land of bikes, it makes sense they sells bikes. Hopefully no assembly required.

This is not a small price to pay when you could use a piece of cardboard to achieve the same level of privacy.

Beside an Abacus still does a good job when helping do the math, I believe naming it Mula (Mule in portuguese) doesn't help much.

No. An abacus with 10 different colors and a stand to keep it propped up costs $9.

Binding the hands would be a reasonable first attempt, no need to cut them. (Warning: dark humour)

Our king size comforter was not big enough to cover both of us comfortably (our bodies raised it up too much I guess), causing us to fight. So I got my own blanket and we each have a different blanket for our sides. Works good.

I've never shopped at this place before but this stuff seems expensive.

Ikea has some mind-bogglingly cheap pieces (low quality but very much ok for the price), which are the ones that draw the crowds, the rest are not cheap, or even expensive (also, much greater quality). But the cheap ones are quite a few and pretty awesome, if you have a very low budget they're a life-saver.

I'd probably more than a little annoyed if I googled 'my partner annoys me" and the result is a desk with a separator.
