Agunnaryd is chiefly associated with the industrialist [[Ingvar Kamprad]], who founded [[IKEA]] (the ''A'' of which stands for ''Agunnaryd''). It has one school, a kindergarten, a small supermarket named 'Matöppet', and four football teams. The little village has its own newspaper/newsletter, Agunnaryds Allehanda, that is mailed to inhabitants once a month.
 
The close-bynearby lake of [[Agunnarydsjön]], located some 300 meters from the village church, is a haven for fishing and swimming. The lake is part of the [[Helge å]] river system, extending further down into the lake of [[Möckeln]], south of Agunnaryd.
 
The village's vicinity offers plenty of opportunities to experience Swedish nature, e.g. {{convert|12000|acre|km2|0}} of forest, ideally suited for hiking. The bicycle-route [[Sverigeleden]] passes right through the village. Canoeing on Helge å is a popular activity among tourists. In Agunnaryd, there are "lay-bys" by the stream to be used by canoeists.
 
In 2014 Ingvar Kamprad donated 53 million SEK (~US$7million) to the parish, for them to use at their best interestdiscretion.<ref name="53 miljoner">[http://www.smalanningen.se/artikel/111943/kamprad-skanker-mangmiljonbelopp-till-agunnaryd] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903150015/http://www.smalanningen.se/artikel/111943/kamprad-skanker-mangmiljonbelopp-till-agunnaryd |date=2014-09-03 }}, Donate 53 million</ref>
