IKEA stores with new format launched in NY & Singapore

New Year, new stores. But not a typical IKEA store.

IKEA is ramping up to transform their business to meet customers wherever they are and how they like to shop.

In 2020, we saw IKEA release new store concepts such as the convenience store concept in Harajuku and the second hand store in Sweden.

Now, we see two new formats, launched just days aparts in two different parts of the world.

A new IKEA opened in Queens tailored to the life of New Yorkers.

The new smaller IKEA store opened in the Rego Center Shopping Mall on January 11. This store is the first in the U.S. with a smaller format, covering 115,000 sq. ft. of space. However, shoppers will still be able to access IKEA’s full range of products.

“Every detail was created with the unique needs of New Yorkers in mind, from the proximity to public transportation and delivery and assembly options, to the wide product range curated specifically to meet their dynamic lifestyles,” said Shahab Mollaei, Market Manager, IKEA Queens, in a press release.

Shoppers will be able to purchase and take home portable home furnishing accessories, curated specifically for New Yorkers. Customers can set-up delivery for larger items for a flat rate fee of $49 to anywhere in New York City.

“As life at home has taken on a new meaning this year for so many people, our customers’ needs and behaviors are changing too,” said Javier Quiñones, President & Chief Sustainability Officer, IKEA Retail U.S. “And we hope our new Queens store will serve as a convenient and accessible source of inspiration and home furnishing expertise for New Yorkers.”

IKEA Queens is located at the Rego Center shopping mall at the corner of Queens Boulevard & Junction Boulevard. It’s just a block away from Q59 and Q60 bus stops and is right next to the 63rd Drive – Rego Park subway station, which is served by the M and R trains.

The store will be open daily from 10 AM-9 PM.

IKEA Planning Studio in Jurong Point offers move-in ready services

And in Singapore, the Swedish furniture chain IKEA has opened its first planning studio at Jurong Point.

Unlike traditional IKEA stores, the planning studio is powered by a Singapore-based interior design and renovation platform, Livspace.

The planning studio is smartly designed after a 3-room HDB flat home, measuring at around 100 square metres (approx. 1,000 sq. ft.). The rooms consists of a living room, dining area, master bedroom, kid’s bedroom, bomb shelter, bathroom, kitchen, and service yard.

According to a report on Mothership.sg, the planning studio goes beyond merely selling IKEA products. It offers customers end-to-end personalised home interior design, planning and renovation services.

Shoppers will also be able to get budget-friendly move-in ready packages which includes renovation, construction services and IKEA furniture and furnishings. Packages range from S$9,900 for a 2-room set-up to S$16,000 for a 5-room.

Sounds like a good deal.

Congratulations on the opening and good luck to both IKEA stores.

Three great ideas for a KALLAX desk . #1 Compact, minimalist desk for laptop I put together a KALLAX desk for my laptop for just under 25 euros. Just a KALLAX 2×2 is needed. No other materials required. IKEA item used: KALLAX 2 x 2 (77 x 77 cm) KALLAX 2×2 | IKEA.com All you need to do is assemble 3 of the pieces in a U shape. That is all.  If you want to strengthen the structure you would need to drill a couple of holes in order to use the long middle shelf of the KALLAX unit as a back reinforcer.

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
