I'd have to disagree about IKEA actually; IKEA is where you go if you want to get the most bang for your buck with furniture without buying it used. So I imagine it's probably the one part of the furniture industry that has the most balanced gender stats in their customers. How many men want to spend tens of thousands of dollars on furniture or home decorations?
I agree about the rest though, and I think the McMansion industry bit is an insightful comment. I'll also add giant luxury SUVs to this list.
- llampx 7y agoBy IKEA I mean especially the idea of disposable fashion applied to home furnishings. That you would update your bedsheets, curtains, napkins, kitchen utensils for the new season every year.
- magduf 7y agoHmm, I see. Yeah, I can see those sections of the IKEA store getting more sales from women perhaps. But I'm thinking that someplace like Bed, Bath & Beyond probably gets more female customers, and would be a preferred place to go for the items you list. That store has fancier stuff than IKEA, and is seriously overpriced; it's not a place you shop at to get a good value. I'd also suggest various mall shops or department stores.
