Swedish home furnishings retailer IKEA has opened its brand-new Plan and Order Point in Aberdeen’s Union Square.
Plan and Order Points are dedicated to kitchen, bedroom and living room planning where customers can visit for tailored design consultations to help create their ideal spaces.
Customers can book an appointment, free of charge, to start their design journey with one of the Aberdeen store’s planning specialists or use the in-store self-service tools to design their own solution.
Customers visiting the store will find 18 different kitchens to browse, spanning complete solutions to "innovative" pantry designs. The unit also houses a home furnishing planning area and 16 bespoke PAX wardrobe solutions, each designed to provide inspiration on how to maximise spaces through storage solutions.
At IKEA Plan and Order Points, customers can order from the entire IKEA product range, with the option for free next day collection or home delivery.

The store offers a collection area for orders made online, as well as providing a service for customers wanting to return any IKEA purchase.
The new Aberdeen store offers a curated range of 600 home furnishing accessories and small furniture items available for immediate takeaway, including some of IKEA's most popular products, including the famous FRAKTA blue carrier bag; RÖDALM picture frames; POKAL glasses; ALEX drawer units; KALLAX shelving units; and DRÖNA storage boxes.
Kevin Coventry, Market Manager at IKEA, said: “It was fantastic to open the doors of our brand-new Plan and Order Point in Aberdeen this morning, and to welcome our first customers inside. Our new store is designed to inspire, offering customers the opportunity to explore our range of kitchen and storage solutions with options available for every household and budget. Now that we’ve launched, we can’t wait to help more Aberdonians design their dream home spaces.”
IKEA closed its Aberdeen Order and Collection Point in Wellington Square on March 1 this year as the retailer transitioned to its new planning-led format in Aberdeen city centre, as part of its strategy to bring the brand closer to where the many people live, work and socialise.
The new store bolsters the retailer’s presence in Scotland, complementing existing IKEA stores in Edinburgh and Glasgow, a recently opened Plan and Order Point in Dundee, and in-home planning services available throughout the Inverness area.
IKEA Plan and Order Point Aberdeen will open Monday to Friday from 10am to 8pm and Saturday and Sundays from 10am to 6pm.
