Welcome
home(s)!
The 2019 IKEA Catalog is here,
and we’ve got some big news.
We’ve always included inspirational
single room settings in our catalog.
But this year, we’ve switched things
up by creating whole homes. These
spaces were designed for fictional
families but are full of real ideas and
inspiration.

We’re excited to invite the whole

world into the biggest “open house”
ever as we reveal seven homes
across over 100 pages of the catalog,
all created with our products.

Designing a better life at home.

To create the homes in our 2019
catalog, we started with IKEA’s
Life at Home report. Each year, we
conduct in-depth research with
people all around the globe. We do
home visits, interviews, and surveys
to better understand both the joys
and challenges of life today. We
then use the insights gained to help
develop products and provide good
solutions.

From the report, we developed

seven backstories and living
situations. Then, our designers
used those to create the floor plans,
furniture layouts, and interior looks
for the homes. Our goal is to show
how the design of individual rooms
works together to create homes
that really support you, your life,
and your style.

Unique, just like you. Our seven

catalog homes represent a wide
range of styles, sizes, and budgets;
proof that there really is no such
thing as a typical IKEA home (or
customer!).

Our home features are just part of

the 2019 catalog. Throughout you’ll
also find all the new products we’re
excited to share, a fantastic selection
of old favorites, and smart, stylish,
affordable solutions for every corner
of your home. And as always, what
we are able to feature in the catalog
is just a fraction of our full offer, so
lots more can be found online and in
our stores.

Haven in the
city
It’s possible to create a calming
sanctuary even in a stressful city;
a way to create balance thanks to
organization and an uncluttered
environment. You can create a
place for reflection, peace, joy, and
the ability to recharge, leaving the
busy world outside and bringing
attention to well-being.

Life at Home research insight:

As life becomes busier and work
more demanding, the outside world
– often via technology – seeps
into our homes like never before,
creating internal stress.

Who lives here: This family of two

leads a hectic worklife that they
want to leave behind as soon as
they enter their home.

PH152617 SJÖPENNA

01

Decorate for your senses. We often focus on color and shape when choosing furnishings, but texture and quality of
light can be equally important in creating the type of room you enjoy spending time in. Softness is the goal here,
from cozy throws and pillows to sheer curtains that filter sunlight, and the diffused warm glow of a lamp with a
paper shade like SJÖPENNA.

Think you are out of storage opportunities? Think again. Here, IVAR
cabinets provide closed storage for hiding away treasures such as
photo albums or supplies for a favorite hobby, like that secret yarn
stash. But it also adds a surface for displaying those small items that
really help personalize your room.
HAVEN IN THE CITY 2019 IKEA CATALOG 8
02
Not everything has to be hidden away when creating
a natural, spa-like look. What you choose to display is
as important as what you tuck away in a GODMORGON
cabinet. Open shelving holds cushy towels, scented
candles, and favorite self-care products. A perfectly-
placed plant (sunshine and moisture from the shower help
keep things happily growing) adds a little life to the space.

Full house
We believe that many people of
different ages and needs can live
happily under the same roof and still
be able to balance spaces for being
together as well as being apart. In
this activity-packed home, you’ll
find solutions for inclusive living;
perfect for a family that always
wants to feel close even when they
are doing their own thing.

Life at Home Report Insight:

Negotiating what’s yours and mine
can feel like the ultimate battle. Of
all the arguments we have at home,
17% stem from intruding in each
other’s spaces. 42% of people say
they find it hard to ask for their own
areas, so the battle lines are often
unclear.

Who lives here: A set of parents

as well as four children of different
ages, from baby to teen.

Pull all KIVIK upholstered pieces together to create a super-sized sectional
sofa that allows everyone to cozy up together to play a video game or watch
a movie. Then spread them back out into a smaller sofa, a private ottoman
oasis, and a comfy chaise window seat to create some solo spaces for when
you want to read or text with a friend on your phone.

Lots of people means lots of stuff. Creating a wall

Maintaining a consistent size and shape of open

In the children’s bedroom, two platform beds on opposite walls create individual,
personal spaces in a shared room. In the middle, an open area with FLISAT table
and chairs, remains an invitation to busily play all day on a soft, colorful rug.
Big storage bags are perfect for quickly hiding away toys
(or last night’s PJs). Use the handles to get them up
onto a chair rail set of hooks, preserving valuable floor
space for an extra-organized look. And when they are in
colorful, playful patterns like these DJUNGELSKOG bags,
they function just as much like decoration as they do a
tidying up tool.

Resourceful
and loving it
When you’ve committed to a healthier
and more sustainable way of living,
your space can both reflect and
support your choices. Our roommates
live in a home that is close to nature,
even in an urban jungle.

Life at Home Report Insight: We

spend a lot of time being physically
present in our homes, but we
enjoy them most when we are also
mentally present. One major way
to increase the feeling of mental
presence in our home is to get as
close to nature as the home allows.
Even the simple act of tending a
house plant brings us right back
into the moment, which connects us
mentally to our home.

Who lives here: A couple with a

young child and their roommate.
Co-living in the city helps create
possibilities for families to live as
they please. Sure it’s a bit crowded,
but they make room for healthy
cooking and plenty of plants, as
well as conscious ways to reuse
and recycle. DIY and RIY projects
help save money, and to do all this
with a curious child is even more
rewarding.

When a family lives in an apartment
with just one bedroom upstairs,
who says that the parents shouldn’t
give that to their kids? Especially
when they can enjoy a cozy sleeping
space of their own at one end of the
main living area. And why not have
an oversized island (and all of the
storage it adds) in your dining area
instead of a traditional table if that’s
how your family likes to gather for
meals? This design reflects the life
that this fictional family leads right
now, rather than some “rules” on
how they (or you) are supposed to
use space at home.

Life at Home Report Insight:

Many people strive to achieve a
“finished” home even though their
needs and dreams change over the
years. We found that true home
comfort is achieved when a home
reflects people’s present needs and
not their previous or anticipated ones.

Who Lives Here: Two parents

and teenage twins. This is a family
that is super flexible, with an open-
door policy and lots of friends who

color to the room makes the whole space sing. And picking up that

impact. Bonus: if you want a totally new look a few years down the

Life at Home Report Insight:

Globally, 27% of people think that
society puts pressure on us to live
minimally. But our connections to
things are profoundly emotional,
because they each trigger memories,
hopes, and dreams that go far deeper
than any functional use. This is why we
find it so hard to discard them. We
found that belongings that honor
experiences are easier to deal with,
helping us view our possessions
more objectively.

Who lives here: A couple who

enjoy life and what they have
gathered over the years, throughout
their adventures together. To say
that there’s plenty to discover in this
home is an understatement, but
every inch of this vibrant flat is well
thought-out. The recipe for success?

Think of a bookshelf as three opportunities in one. First,
it can hold (and show off) your beloved book collection
on upper shelves. Place color-coordinated storage boxes
full of photos, playbills, or other memorabilia on lower
shelves. And finally, don’t forget about the area above as
a display space for the big, special decor items that might
overpower a regular tabletop surface.

Get the look at home
As part of the design of the 2019 catalog homes, our interior designers worked to develop
strong individual style looks with all IKEA products. To further tell these style stories, we will also
feature supporting accessory spreads in the catalog that make it easy to bring the look home.
ACCESSORIES SPREADS 2019 IKEA CATALOG 44
Here we have a calm, harmonious look similar to what we explore in the “Haven in the city”
home. Think dusty pastels, blonde woods, and organic shapes. Our new stoneware GRADVIS
vase is the perfect shade of rosy pink. It’s equally beautiful (and worth having on display)
both empty or full of blooms. Hold tiny trinkets and treasures (or more everyday-use items
like bobby pins or cotton balls) in our new SAXBORGA glass jars with cork lids and trays. Who
says storage can’t be pretty as well as practical?

Simple, stackable, and see-through are all good things for small spaces, and we’ve got lots

In our photo, two children are playing dress up, showing that this is a home that is comfortable
and inviting, with plenty of room for fun and a bit of mischief.
The living room has a rich mix of different textures and materials with a light, bright, and
energetic color story. We fit in a smart solution, too: a bedroom is visible in the background
behind glass doors that allow for maximum light transfer during the day. At night, the rich
velvet curtains can be pulled closed for privacy and coziness.

A big thank you! 01

When Ingvar was 17 years old, his father gave

him money as a reward for successful studies.
He used it to establish his own business.
The year is 1943, and IKEA was born. Over
the past 75 years, we’ve gone from selling
matches, flower seeds, greeting cards, and
pencils to a global home furnishings brand.

On the occasion of our 75th birthday, we

want to thank all of you, our customers and
friends, for making this milestone possible.
We couldn’t have done it without you!
