For those of us who are Ikea fans, we eagerly await the new catalogue every August. Last year I purchased several of the 2019 Ikea pieces, including their Froslov sofa. To see the complete review of that sofa, click here. I also previously rounded up my top 10 Ikea finds of all time and shared them in a blog post. In this post, I share my favourite new Ikea pieces from the 2020 catalogue. All twenty pieces featured here are under $450!
In the new catalogue, there are hundreds of new items just released. Some of these items are available in stores or online right now, and others will become available in the months leading up to 2020. It was a pleasure for me to view the new items and choose my top 20. These are items that I am so excited to see and that I would want in my own home. For those of you who know my style, it is modern farmhouse meets updated traditional. I try to create elegant, inviting, and family-friendly spaces. If you want to see the best of the new Ikea catalogue, then you’re in the right place. At the end of this post, I’ll share with you the pieces I plan to buy and how I plan to use them.
Furniture
Let’s start with the larger pieces. Last year there were several new upholstered pieces I loved and I ended up buying the Froslov sofa. This year, I didn’t add any upholstered pieces to my list of favourite new Ikea pieces. Rather, I found 4 beautiful pieces of storage furniture, a kitchen table, and some fun and bold dining/desk chairs.
Turnviken Kitchen Island
$399.00 USD
I love the paint colour and the wood chopping block top. It comes in two sizes, the larger of which is more substantial and would be more suitable for most kitchens.
Havsta Storage Combination with glass doors
$430.00
This versatile storage unit comes in two colours I love, white and gray.
Alex Drawer Unit on casters, blue
$129.00 USD
The new blue colour is spot on. It’s the perfect rich, deep navy colour that works so well with almost any colour scheme. These drawer units are very functional. In our home, we use them to organize all the kid’s craft and art supplies. However, they would also be great in a home office.
Tyssedal Storage Stool
$59.00 USD
I love how versatile this little piece is. In a fresh white colour and with a cottage-style silhouette, it would be perfect in a modern country, French country, or coastal style home. It’s small enough to fit in a small entryway or mudroom, or it could be used in a walk-in closet. Extra seating with extra storage is a winning combination.
Ingatorp Extendable Table, gray
$349.00 USD
This pedestal dining table has a lovely silhouette and comes in the most beautiful gray colour. It extends to a larger oval and can seat up to 6 people.
Leifarne Chair, dark yellow seat, white or black legs
$49.00 USD
I’m planning my fall décor currently and golden yellow plays a big role in that. This chair adds a lovely pop of colour and would be perfect in the kitchen, home office, or kid’s playroom. You can mix and match seat colours and leg finishes, but the yellow-white and yellow-black combinations are my favourite.
Tableware
I have long been a fan of Ikea dishes and vases, and this season is no exception.
Entusiasm Tumbler set
$9.99 USD/set of 4
This set of 4 ceramic tumblers is beautiful. They could be used to set a lovely eclectic table, or they could be used as a pencil holder or toothbrush holder.
Sotkorsbar Plant Pot
$4.99 USD
I love the elegant silhouette and subtle shade variations in this blue-green gray plant pot.
Ivrig gray glass set
$7.99/4
I love the unique angled cut of these glasses and the smoky gray colour. If you like to set a pretty table, then these would be a great addition to your glassware collection. They are ultra-affordable and add a nice moodiness to any tablescape. I think they would be especially beautiful in fall, paired with orange, copper, yellow, or plum tones.
Cissan Napkin Holder
$4.99 USD
Simple and beautifully made from water hyacinth, this would add a pretty, natural touch to the kitchen. I own a similar one that I purchased elsewhere for twice the price.
We are now halfway through my list of favourite new Ikea pieces. I hope you have seen something you like so far. Up next is artwork and textiles.
Wall Art
Ikea is a favourite source for wall art for University and College students and first home buyers. However, I have to admit that I have retained some of my Ikea art from my University days and I plan to buy more. Ikea art and frames are the most affordable I have found anywhere.
Bjorksta Picture, Anfi theatre
$40.00 USD
I love the Sepia style look of this artwork and the architectural subject. It would look beautiful alone or as a part of a mostly black and white gallery wall inspired by travel and architecture. It comes in a 55×39 ¼” canvas.
Pjatteryd Pictures
$19.99 USD/set of 4
This set of navy and white canvases is on point with its Moroccan tile styling. I almost purchased this the last time I was at Ikea but wasn’t quite sure where I would put it in our home.
Textiles- Rugs, Cushions, and Bedding
Ikea is spot on with the rugs and cushion covers this season. Some of them lean a little toward the Boho style and others are classic and could fit into any decor.
Overallt Flatwoven Rug
$89.99 USD for 6’7” square size
It’s bold pattern, inspired by African textiles, and crisp colours make this flatwoven rug a real statement piece.
Vippart Chair Pad, gray
$5.99 USD
If you have wooden kitchen chairs then you’ll likely need some comfortable chair pads. I love that these are neutral toned and with plenty of tufting to add interest and plushness.
Bergpalm Duvet Cover and Pillow Cases
$29.99 USD Full/Queen size, also available in Twin and King sizes
These subtly striped bed linens come in 3 soft colours- pink, grey (very pale, looks almost white), and green. They are a great basic to mix and match with patterned pillows and blankets.
Blagran Cushion Cover
$5.99 USD
This pillow is so pretty with its navy blue background and white floral silhouette pattern. And the price is unbeatable for a 20” square cushion cover.
Strimsporre Cushion Cover
$6.99 USD
I love how this navy and white cushion cover has a hand-painted feel. It looks more expensive that it is. It comes in a 20” square size and coordinates beautifully with Ikea’s Blagran cushion cover.
Konstanse Cushion Cover
$7.99 USD
This is a beautiful dark gray and white striped cushion with a laid back, Boho or farmhouse feel. It comes in a 16” square size, so it’s slightly smaller than the standard 20” throw pillow size.
Ingalill Cushion Cover
$6.99 USD
This is a classic dark gray and white striped pillow in a 20” size. It pairs perfectly with Ikea’s Konstanse cushion cover and many other cushions.
Lackisar Storage Case
Various sizes $9.99 to $14.99 USD
This is a gorgeous way to store extra linens or off-season clothing. I love the two-tone beige and cream look that would fit any décor style. These could be used in a closet, under a bed or in an Ikea Pax wardrobe system.
So what are my favourite new Ikea pieces I’ll be purchasing soon?
I will be purchasing a set of 4 Vippart Chair Pads in gray for our kitchen table. Our kitchen is grey and white, so they’ll tie in perfectly and the gray colour should hide the multitude of spills that are inevitable with 3 young boys at the table.
I will definitely be purchasing a few of the Blagran and Strimsporre cushion covers for our family room. I’m sure I’ll end up using them in our living room and Master bedroom at some point. I think I may also purchase the Konstanse cushion covers for our living room as I tend to use black and white in my winter décor.
I’ll be purchasing a couple of the Lackisar Storage Cases for my son’s closet.
I may purchase the Bjorksta canvas. If I do, I plan to make a wood frame for it and display it above a storage chest near our staircase.
I plan to buy a set of the Entusiasm Tumblers to use as a water glasses and toothbrush holders in the Master bath.
I will be purchasing 2 sets of the Ivrig
All of this at about $100 is a bargain to add some lovely décor touches to several rooms in our home. Has anything caught your eye? Thanks for reading about my favourite new Ikea pieces.
