As big-time Ikea enthusiasts, we're always looking to the brand for new decor inspiration. Out of all the product details we get throughout the year, the annual print catalogue never fails to get us into a tizzy: Not only does the booklet tell us what new items to expect from the furniture giant, it also provides valuable clues on the interior trends that will be making waves in the coming year.
And now, the wait is finally over: centralised around the theme "make room for life", the new directory is packed with products adaptable to busy schedules and small spaces. From a couch that shape shifts into a bed within seconds to easy-to-assemble shelves, the items that get a starring role in this release are real keepers. Click ahead for some of our favourites from the bunch.
Keep your eyes peeled for this one: In October, Ikea will be releasing YPPERLIG, a collaboration with HAY, a Danish design company and one of our favourite shopping destinations for furniture. The line up will include 35 minimalist pieces done in the brand's signature soft hues, birch wood accents, and clean lines.
