Nothing kicks my butt into gear on a Monday morning like an email containing a digital copy of the 2020 IKEA catalogue. Just picture me shouting “It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here!” at a bemused terrier for reference.
This year’s theme is the pursuit of a good night’s sleep, with a focus on restorative design elements such as blackout blinds, comfortable mattresses, smart lighting and ergonomic pillows. The 286-page treasure trove of design inspiration is now available to the public, and it’s packed with new products and lower prices. Grab your FRAKTA bag and get ready to shop our 15-piece edit.
