See 100+ homes around the world In 24-hr IKEA Festival

IKEA will open its doors to its first ever global festival on September 16, celebrating the best of life at home.

The mothership has already lined up an impressive list of home tours, cooking classes, concerts and home makeovers for the 24-hour virtual festival. And she’s calling us all to attend.

The best thing? The setting.

The festival will take place in everyday homes, studios, and neighbourhoods, living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and backyards. These otherwise private spaces will be turned into virtual stages for performances and experiences.

All in all, the IKEA Festival will take place in over 100 homes in more than 50 markets across the world. The experience is for free, open to everyone.

“This is a new kind of experience IKEA wants to offer, celebrating, connecting, and engaging around life at home. Home tours around the world will open doors to new experiences and new inspiration. We want to spark a conversation on the more sustainable and affordable life at home of tomorrow. And just as with any festival, you can expect a few surprises,” says Erika Intiso, Managing Director of IKEA Marketing and Communication AB.

The main stage for the festival is on IKEA.com/festival. There will also be rooms for discussions on current topics and IKEA news to offer visitors a broad choice of experiences.

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful. What I like most is, when viewed from the living room, when closed, it looks almost like a built-in unit.
