August means a lot of things.
The summer is almost over, back-to-school/college season is almost upon us. And – the brand new Ikea catalogue comes out.
Which, if you are as obsessed with your home and interiors as I am, you will have been eagerly anticipating all summer.
And right not, the 2020 Ikea catalogue has just been released, and, having spend a few lovely evening hours last night flicking through it, I think I have managed to pick out the 10 most standout, gorgeous pieces. Which, let me tell you, was not an easy task, considering that this catalogue was even more fabulous than last year’s (and how it that even possible?)
Aas always the catalogue packed with smart and stylish design ideas. The name of the 2020 catalog is ‘Get Ready For A Fresh Start’ because you don’t have to wait for New Years Eve to make a new beginning. The Ikea 2020 Catalog is dedicated to saving our sleep, featuring a range of new products and design solutions from blackout blinds to ergonomic pillows to help consumers achieve the perfect work/life/sleep balance. It also has some great new functional storage furniture, making it easier for us all to keep our homes tidy and organised.
This year, Ikea has concluded there are 5 emotional needs of a home:
Belonging is about feeling part of a group of people who accept you for who you really are and places that reflect you.
Ownership isn’t just about deeds and mortgages, it’s about having a sense of control over the space and place you live in.
Security is about feeling safe and grounded not about the locks on the door.
Comfort is about feeling content and at ease in your surroundings.
Privacy is about having control over where and how you can disconnect and reflect.
And for the 2020 catalog, the designers at Ikea was inspired to create homes that show situations and design solutions that help illustrate these five emotional needs.
Curious as for what you are going to be buying? I think these 10 are a great start:
