We can’t believe that 2021 marks the 70th birthday of the IKEA catalog! The colorful book has been making its way into our homes for as long as we can remember and is always a joyous occasion. From watching our moms mark their favorite sofas and pots to deciding how to decorate our first apartment, IKEA’s catalog has always been there.
To celebrate the occasion, the Swedish furniture giant is giving us a gift: a handbook for better everyday life at home. A handbook that feels like a friendly and optimistic problem solver full of smart tips, hands-on ideas and small affordable shifts, rooted in real life at home. It is a way of sharing knowledge, a point of view that a better home creates a better everyday life at home.
The IKEA catalog has always been a source of inspiration and helpful ideas of how to create living and working spaces that can adapt to our needs and lifestyle. And this edition has all of that and more. The pros at IKEA have filled every page with tips and suggestions that can make a huge difference to everyday life.
Small changes, huge payoff seems to have always been the underlying foundation of the IKEA philosophy. Most items are designed to be flexible enough to fit a wide range of budgets, spaces and aesthetics. For example, sofas can be easily transformed by changing a slipcover and the BILLY bookcase can be used as a single unit or you can combine several units to create a unique design that works for you.
Because IKEA operates all over the world, they are in a unique position to offer customers advice and insight that can help anyone make their home cozier, smarter, more sustainable and more beautiful.
We’ve had a sneak peek at IKEA catalog 2021 and we can tell you that you are going to love what’s coming your way.
This year, the catalog can help you take some important first steps towards the things that can really improve not just your life but also the world like better sleep (your health), sustainability (the environment) and smart organization (your lifestyle). Without skipping a beat, IKEA shows us that we can work on multiple important areas in life at the same time, without sacrificing our values and needs or breaking the bank.
You can do all of the above with style too. If successful pattern mixing has always eluded you, IKEA will guide you to combining, pairing, contrasting different textiles and prints to create the aesthetic you have always dreamed of.
Rethinking design norms has always been IKEA’s strong suit, and this year they want you to move your sofa from the wall to maximize your home’s space. The areas you free up can now be used for a work-from-home solution and an organization corner. It is these little ideas that we truly value because they help us shift our perspective and reimagine how our daily lives can be improved.
We regularly head to the IKEA showroom to grab a shawarma and some cinnamon buns but we also like to grab the smaller items that are useful. Mounting little hooks can help you organize your bags so you know what to grab on your way out on any given day. The catalog has great tips on how and where to use these really affordable items in ways to save you time and energy every day.
IKEA understands that you change and your life changes and has always designed their furniture with that in mind. Make sure to look at their suggestions for creating office space at home, welcoming a tiny family member in an already busy space or helping growing siblings share a room so everyone is happy.
The brand has always been committed to providing their customers great value for money and ensuring they keep their prices as low as possible. After Covid-19, this has become even more important, so IKEA is now offering Even Lower Prices on some of our favorite items. For example, you can now get the versatile KALLAX shelving unit which is perfect for storing your books and showcasing your favorite collectible items or family heirlooms for much less. Or you can upgrade your bed to the BRIMNES bedframe with storage and a headboard is perfect for anyone who wants to make use of that space under the bed. IKEA will help you make your life more comfortable without breaking the bank.
“We have been through a lot of challenges that have reshaped the world. Our lives, and everything around us seem to be upside down. More people have even more limited budgets today. That’s why this year we have lowered our prices more than ever before”, says Mohamad Jalloul, Marketing Manager at IKEA Kuwait.
