The BESTÅ everything.
It’s a new season and you know what that means – brands coming up with new catalogues and products for you to nab but perhaps none is as popular (or well-known) as the IKEA one.

The IKEA 2020 Catalogue is filled to the brim with standout functional and inspirational pieces. We’ve combed through the collection and compiled the statement must-haves here!
1. STRÄVKLINT | $7.90
Have a huge love for ombre hair and dresses? The STRÄVKLINT cushion cover might just be up your alley! This light turquoise-green, light lilac combination certainly caught our eye with its refreshing and restful tones.

2. KNIXHULT | $49.90
With rattan making a huge comeback, we can’t help but gravitate towards this environmentally-friendly lookalike. Each lamp is unique since it is fashioned from bamboo (that would be otherwise discarded) with natural colour variations, hand-woven by skilled craftspeople.

5. FRIHETEN | $790
When space is a premium, you should look to multifunctional alternatives like this sofa! Simply remove the back cushions and pull out the underframe to turn it into a bed. It also offers additional storage space under the extended portion, which you can use to stow your paraphernalia.

6. TRANGET | $299
Rugs have a bad rep for being hard to clean and wrinkly. This one in particular is made of wool (a naturally soil-repellent and hard-wearing material) and has a flat-woven surface! It’s easy to just pull it out from under sofas and dining room sets for a good vacuum.

7. NYHAMN | $569
If you think that configuring the FRIHETEN takes up too much time, check out the NYHAMN. Featuring a click-clack mechanism, you can convert the sofa into a spacious bed by folding down the backrest – all without removing the cover.

8. KARLJAN | $45
Upholstered to reduce pressure on your lumbar, you can sit comfortably for a long time on the KARLJAN chair. Though simple in shape, the chairs come in a variety of vibrant hues so you can mix-and-match for added visual impact.

9. EIDSÅ | $39.90
You wouldn’t think to look twice at mirrors but the EIDSÅ is slightly different thanks to its etchings. Don’t get us wrong though, it’s still a timeless piece that will work in most interiors. Hang it vertically or horizontally depending your what best fits your space. And, if it is ever broken, cleanup will prove to be easier as there is a safety film.
