For those who still need to prepare their room for the new college year, Ikea prepared some inspirational rooms with special offers for students.

Take a look at Ikea Back to College.

To promote the new store that just opened in NYC Brooklyn, Ikea decided to place a giant Ikea box in the middle of the city.

Inside de box you find a studio apartment of 20ft x 20ft decorated with ikea products. To make it even more fun they wrote what the box includes on the side.

Ikea plans to invest in clean-technology within the next five years introducing green goods such as solar panels.

Ikea started supporting sustainability selling energy saving bulbs, eliminating checkout plastic bags, creating pre-fab homes (see the BoKlok article), etc. and now they want to commercialize new and affordable green technologies.

Isn’t it great? You can read the entire article here.

Ikea knows the importance of a good night rest. And you? Do you need a new SULTAN Mattress? See more photos of this campaign here.

First of all I want to apologize for the lack of post…

And now, lets talk about the good stuff

The new Ikea Catalog 2009 is coming soon, but for those like me who just can wait, go to the Ikea Web and get a sneak peek of the online version.

You can now give your Sims‘ home a makeover with the new furniture and decor items from Ikea.

Turn your Sims‘ living room into a haven of comfort and relaxation with a plush EKTORP Sofa, a unique EXPEDIT TV Unit, a complementing LEKSVIK Coffee Table, and chic décor, like the VANNA Mirror.

Create a bold, vibrant, and revitalizing bedroom with a new MALM Bed, matching chest of drawers, a shapely STORM Floor Lamp and a bright IKEA PS Rug.

Indulge your Sims with an office that is sure to promote order and productivity with its elegant FREDRIK Desk, bold HELMER Drawer Unit, and LACK ZigZag Wall Shelf.

The STIBY System is a new storage combination with drawers, shelves and sliding doors. It also allows you to integrate a flat screen that can be hidden with the sliding doors.

I think it’s a very nice combination that gives you a modern solution for your tv and media equipment. You can choose between ash veneer and black.

America at Home is a book sponsored by Ikea, because they believe that home is the most important place in the world and this book makes that point vividly.

The book is inspired by Ikea’s dedication to HOME, with a photojournalistic journey that showcases the extraordinary, the joy, the humor and the challenging moments that life presents every day.

You can see a short documentary on the making of this book here.
