Here are two new fabric collections available at the Ikea stores: the PETRONELLA fabric and the FIALENA fabric.
Each collection come in a choice of five different patterns, all very scandinavian.
If you are thinking to make some new cushion covers, take a look at the PETRONELLA fabric ($5.99/yard) and the FIALENA fabric ($6.99/yard).
I’m sure you’ll find what you need.
Good news for those who love the EXPEDIT bookcase! A new accessory has been added to the EXPEDIT collection.
It’s the new EXPEDIT desk that rests on the bookcase, creating a new and unique workspace.
Price: $50.00
Happy New Year to all The Ikea Blog readers!
Is there a better way to start the year than taking advantage of the Ikea Winter Sale? Get yourself a little present, you have till January 21.
It’s only been around 20 days since we introduced the HAMRA seating units to you. Well, Ikea now brings you the HAMRA sofas in this creamy yellow color (The link doesn’t seem to be working at the moment, but the one for the right-hand does however).
It is still $1,299.00, by the way.
Good news, pasta lovers! A new pasta insert has been added to the STABIL series. Apparently there was a bigger version of this one already, one that you could use with 4-5 quart pots. Well this one you can use it with 3 quart pots. It’s just $7.99
And, while I’m at it, I noticed there is also a deep-fry basket in the STABIL collection ($9.99). Not sure if this one existed already. It doesn’t appear in my printed catalog.
Bon appetit!
There is a new line of leather sofas at IKEA, it’s called TOREKOV (the IKEA’s TOREKOV line page is incomplete at the moment, for some reason).
The models go from a single recliner, 2-places, 3-places and even a huge 4-places sofa.
Oh! and there is a footstool too!
Apparently they all come with a recliner on one side of the sofa… Except the sofa bed model (which only comes in white, by the way).
They are available in black or white leather. The prices vary, from $749.00 for the recliner, and up to $2,596.00.
Marie from Canada sent us this great hack for the SNILLE chair.
She needed an office chair for a teenager’s bedroom, so she decided to buy the SNILLE chair, the cheapest one with a decent look, and hack it to create an unique one.

IKEA has just introduced the BAROMETER work lamp, the latest addition to the BAROMETER lamp family.
The BAROMETER work lamp is made of nickel plated steel and has an adjustable arm and head.
It costs $39.99
The Ikea Blog reader Elaine was kind enough to send me her review of the STOCKHOLM line:
I visited the Orlando, FL store last week. I especially wanted to check out the Stockholm line. The leather and slipcovered versions of the sofa are gorgeous to look at, but very uncomfortable. The main problem for me was the seat width. I am 5′4″ tall and my friend is 5′8″. We both sat on both the sofas and the oversized chair. When we sat with our behinds all the way back against the back of the sofa, our mid-calves were resting on the edge of the seat where our knees should have been. I think these pieces would be comfortable only for someone well over 6 feet tall. Also the seat cushions are very flat, only about 3 inches thick. The leather is very attractive and appears to be high end, so it justifies the cost…but the overall design, in my opinion, doesn’t work well for people of average height.
I would be interested to see anyone else’s review.
Feel free to share your thoughts and reviews with us!
