Hold on to your Ikea meatballs because the summer’s most anticipated literature is finally here… We’re talking about the IKEA catalog: A once-yearly release showcasing everything that’s coming in the next year.And we had front row seats at the UAE launch this week. This year’s catalogue theme “A Fresh Start” focus on the importance of mental and physical rest and will be offering products designed to improve sleep. With simple, smart solutions from blackout blinds and comfortable mattresses to new additions like sound absorbing decorative panels and ergonomic pillows designed for every kind of sleeper. Don’t worry, though, it’s not all bed frames and duvets, there are exciting new launches and we have already dog-eared our catalogue pages with our must-haves. Check out a handful of our favourites below – not forgetting that amazing ceramic vase above.

The handsome handwoven rattan and bamboo Nilsove armchair is a perfect piece to add warmth and natural element to your dining room.
