IKEA spokeswoman Josefin Thorell said the company had seen a "temporary increase" in the number of people visiting its Russian stores as a result of the currency collapse.
IKEA was forced to halt sales of more expensive items such as kitchens and home appliances for a while due to the large number of orders.
And as the economic crisis deepened, Russians turned to IKEA as they looked to make their money stretch further.
"Consumers became much more rational in terms of their spending," Milasevic said.
IKEA, which is privately owned, has been in Russia for 15 years and is now the leading furniture retailer with a 20% share of the market, according to Euromonitor data. It operates 14 stores and is looking to open a new one in Moscow, its fourth in the Russian capital.
