As someone who lives in a small apartment, there are two main things I think about when looking for household items: Does it look good, and is it functional? I want the things in my space to be aesthetically pleasing (especially because they will stand out in my small space more prominently than they would in a bigger space), and I can't sacrifice an inch for something not functional.
Just because something is basic doesn't mean it has to be boring. And IKEA proves just that with its 99-cent HILDEGUN dish towel. It might be one of the simplest items on IKEA's website, but it's still effortlessly stylish, with a vintage-style ticking stripe running along either side. Because it's crafted from superabsorbent 100% cotton fabric, it's receiving rave reviews from people who have stocked up.
