If you weren’t able to plan a getaway trip with your friends or family this summer, you can still enjoy the warm weather and long summer days by making the most of your time at home by turning your own backyard into a magical getaway.
Work up a summer tan with the IKEA NÄMMARÖ chaise
What better way to enjoy the sunny weather and heat than by chilling out on a comfy chaise with an icy drink and a good book? Made of sturdy hardwood, the NÄMMARÖ chaise is a durable piece of furniture that would last you many years. Additionally, it has been pre-treated to be better protected against sun, rain, stains and other wear and tear.
And we have the perfect companion for your NÄMMARÖ chaise – our Summer Vibes Collection couch covers. Spill-resistant, stain-resistant, mildew-resistant and UV-protected, these couch covers are the best complement to your NÄMMARÖ chaise so that they stay fresh for a good number of years. Comes in a range of colours to match each and every taste too.
Upgrade your space to accommodate multiple guests
If you want to have friends over this summer, but you lack the furniture to comfortably seat them in your space, the ÄPPLARÖ sofa set from IKEA is exactly what you need.
The modular sofa set allows you to arrange the sofa in any configuration you like to suit your outdoor space, and its soft back cushions are filled with a hollow fibre that’s made out of 100% recycled materials.
Add some shade
While it can be nice to spend your summer days out under the sun, having some shade nearby can come in handy for those extra sunny or rainy days.
The IKEA OXNÖ patio umbrella provides excellent protection against rain as well as the sun’s UV rays, and even has a built-in mechanism that allows the umbrella to be positioned in different angles to let you enjoy your outdoor time longer.
Light up your garden with romantic LED lights
Take your garden lighting to the next level by swapping out your regular lights for these LED lights. Place them on top of your garden table or coffee table outdoors and see how romantic of a mood they can help create. You could spend hours sitting outdoors with your favourite people and just talking about everything on the planet.
Add some texture to your backyard flooring
Old, tired-looking floors that are stained, cracked or peeled can take all the magic out of a space.
So if that’s what’s making your backyard look run-down and uninspired, try turning to IKEA’s RUNNEN floor decking collection, which offers a variety of decking styles, including those that could easily pass for parquet flooring or real grass (minus the need for regular watering).
