First look at the 2019 IKEA catalogue and it does not dissapoint

There’s always one thing to look forward to in August – the new IKEA catalogue. This year also marks IKEA’s 75th anniversary year – so there is an even bigger buzz about the 2019 IKEA catalogue than normal.

First, there’s no “theme” on the cover, like previous years. Rather, IKEA designed 7 homes, each with its own story to tell. The usual suspects, covering the most general styles, such as a small 52-square-foot apartment to an eco-friendly sustainable home, a multifunctional family home to an eclectic maximalist collector’s. I like the mesh of different styles, rather than just one dominant trend.

The other impression I got from browsing the online US edition, there’s less “here is what’s new” and more inspiration and demonstration of how IKEA products can come together to create the home of your dreams, no matter which style you lean into. I had a tough time spotting the new items and the 7 featured homes blended seamlessly with the product sections. But scouring the pages of the 2019 IKEA Catalogue, I did find a few favourites.

LANDSKRONA range. Previously only available in leather, the LANDSKRONA is given a new fabric version in light green. The tufting really comes through in this lighter colour.

LANGUR high chair with tray. This high chair features two L-shaped runners angled towards the chair’s backside instead of outward angled legs. You can easily remove the highchair seat shell to transform the highchair into a junior chair when your child is able to sit at the table without being secured.

VADHOLMA kitchen island with rack. For a compact kitchen, this is a perfect free-standing kitchen island. The add-on rack is optional and provides extra storage for pots and pans.

VADHOLMA wine rack. Continuing with the VADHOLMA series, the wine rack is a tasteful addition to any IKEA kitchen.

BJÖRKSNÄS collection. The BJÖRKSNÄS is as Scandinavian as it can get. Solid wood, light and airy, it’s well-crafted and a great fit for anyone looking to create a calm tranquil space.

FABRIKÖR glass cabinet. IKEA added another item to its classic pharmacy cabinet. This is a double door and comes in a delightful blue-black.

GAMLARED table. This is not new but I couldn’t bring myself to give this a miss. It would be my choice for a small dining nook.

GRÖNLID series. The GRÖNLID is relatively new and looks a bit like the EKTORP.  It comes with so many combinations to suit any living room.

HATTEFJÄLL swivel chair. In blush pink it’s sweet beyond words.

SJÖPENNA floor lamp with LED bulb. Just the lamp to light up a corner, with a warm soft glow.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.

Kitchen renovation reveal: Rhombus wall steals the show

It’s been a while since I did a home tour. If you’ve missed the previous reveals, you can catch up with my Master Bathroom remodel and Guest Bathroom reveal . Today, let’s focus on my kitchen renovation. Hands down, this is the most used room in my home. I spend crazy amounts of time in here, even when I’m not cooking. Just off to the side of the kitchen I converted an awkward space into a reading nook . In the mornings, I sit and read or pray and meditate, before it gets too warm. And on the other side, there’s a work-in-progress plant wall / indoor garden which also takes up a lot of my time. So, all in all, lots of traffic in here, and that’s not even counting cooking and eating time. The kitchen is definitely my favourite room, because the transformation is huge and I love how it turned out. Kitchen renovation: The before House 17 when I first got it, actually had 2 kitchens, which is a very common “Asian” home concept. First, the “dry kitchen”, which is where you make simp...

IKEA sofa with genius armrest storage

Bet you never knew your sofa armrests were prime storage space. Ok, so the guys at IKEA are the masters of hidden / secret storage everywhere. In fact, one of the things I most loved about the  ESKILSTUNA sofa series was the undercover storage on the chaise lounge, but… what? More than 80 liters of storage space wasted on the armrests? NO WAY! I really don’t understand how they didn’t take that opportunity with several different armrest modules. Mobile chargers, cup / can holders, foldable tables, refrigerators… there’s SO MUCH space in there. I can’t stop thinking on different options! For myself, I went for two designs. First, a “full space” design on the (right) side of the chaise lounge. (The cavity fits two foldable chairs). Second, on the left armrest — a flip open section for “mobile charger / remote control storage / etc.”. Below that, a full-depth pull-out drawer, tall enough to store A4 sized magazines. This is the final result: Full space design, rig...
