Fresh home furnishing ideas and affordable furniture - IKEA

Bring joy home

Every year we reach out to people around the world to find the meaning of life at home today, and how we can help make it better. That's what the IKEA Life at Home Report is all about.

This year, we discovered that finding enjoyment at home makes us happier and more optimistic – but also, that over 1 in 3 of us aren’t getting enough of it.

At IKEA, we believe that more joyful home moments are within reach. Through simple, affordable and meaningful actions that don’t cost the earth.


Environmental wellbeing 

Valuing your relationship with your surroundings can work wonders for wellness. While you can’t always choose the environments you live, work or play in, it’s the small steps and choices you can make that count. 

Napping matters

Our research proves it: sleep is number one for nurturing wellbeing at home. Whether it’s an eight-hour slumber, a five-minute doze or an occasional afternoon of bedrotting, you can always rely on your bed to make you feel good. 

Home’s big power play 

A little more fun, creativity and play can boost the everyday. It’s all about making conscious choices to rediscover that sense of childlike joy buried within. Are you ready to get kidulting and creating? You can do it!

A space where creativity blooms

A home that reflects me 

Feeling like we belong where we live is part and parcel of enjoying home. It’s all about the small things that make it feel ‘ours’: an object, a detail, a touch of vibrant dopamine decor or calming biophilic design maybe. Whatever your style, you can find inspirational ideas for every corner of your home.

Coming together over food 

We probably suspected it already, but our research proves it: food is a magnet for bringing people together. Whether you’re eating or cooking together, food is a great focal point to turn polite small talk into meaningful Big Talk. And you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.
