Sweet Everyday Moments
Let your dinnerware bring out the flavour
Whatever you pour in a wine glass, it takes any drink up a notch. Same thing with place mats that catch the eye, your choice of plates, and simple yet effective decorations. Now, who to share this moment with?
Set your sights (and feet) on a stylish rug
Planting your feet on a soft, warm rug beneath your bed makes getting up a lot easier. And when you open your eyes, you notice the refreshing mood it adds to your bedroom. See, you’re already off to a good start.
Better bedding for your guests
Holiday logistics can often result in guests staying overnight on short notice. Having a few extra sets of a pillow, duvet and bed linen combo prepped and handy gives you all the flexibility you need.
Make it personal, wrap it and gift it
Every Christmas present – or any gift – creates a connection between giver and givee. That it’s the thought that counts can sound, belittling but it’s the opposite. Take the opportunity to make something special for someone special.
Set a cosy mood at work
Adding a seasonal feel can be a good way to bring smiles and high spirits to your workplace. Wintery plants, bowls of snacks and lighting will do the trick. (And you can choose LEDs for both lanterns and block candles, so it’s fireproof as well.)
Chestnuts roasting, and then some
Want your holiday cooking to be more holiday and less cooking? Slow oven roasting is an almost universal tip for success. Put good things in a tin on low-medium heat, set a clock, and wait for the food to come out healthy, great-looking and oh-so delicious.
Holiday cleaning made easy
Winter holidays are a lot about gifts, food and family. Then again, they also hold their share of suds, mops and ironing boards. Cleaning accessories in a handy bucket-and-caddy combo helps keep your home pine fresh throughout.
Put the holidays on mute for a moment
Christmas is wonderful, but taking a break from it can also be good. IKEA has the accessories you need to set up a gaming station fusing organisation and style – letting you pop in and out of either world without lag.
Freedom of expression for your family artist
Every child is a painter waiting to happen. Or a sculptor, or – just loves to let ideas take flight in colour and crafts. Give them the tools to express themselves, and see where creativity takes them.
A beautifully packaged gift can truly steal the show – and be fun to make! Arrange a wrapping-paper workshop with your child, and let creativity flow. (But be sure to leave the presents you have for each other out of the session.)
