HOME STYLE
COLOURFUL COLLECTIONS AT IKEA This season, the home sees a range of textiles with strong colours and bold patterns ranging from rugs to metre fabrics – here are just some of our favourites at IKEA…
RAVNSÖ Rug Striped in some warm autumn colours, RAVNSÖ rug breathes of traditional Scandinavian style and came about after designer Synnöve Mork visited a Swedish museum. Handwoven in wool, the rug is made in the IKEA initiative of handwoven rugs in India. The rug has the same pattern on both sides, so you can turn it over and it will withstand more wear and last even longer.
HALVED Rug Striped in twelve different colours, HALVED rug creates a colourful statement in connection to a sofa or dining table. With so many delightful tones, it’s bound to coor- dinate with the rest of the home interior. The wool rug is handwoven in an IKEA initiative of organised weaving centres in India with good working conditions and fair wages. The result is a unique rug that not only looks good, but a rug to feel good about too.
ROSENRIPS Quilt Cover Not only does ROSENRIPS quilt cover look beautiful with its traditional Swedish pattern, there’s some real history to it too. The designer Eva Lundgren created the 98

quilt cover with inspiration from a regional museum that houses a perma- nent collection of textiles dating all the way back to the 1600s from Sweden’s southernmost region. Back then women started at a young age to make pieces for their dowry that would become part of their new home once they were married. These traditional wool embroideries sparked the designer to create ROSENRIPS quilt cover.
DAGGSKÅL, DVÄRGBJÖRK, NATTGLIM, ORANGELILJA & PIPDÅN Metre Fabrics This month sees the launch of five new metre fabrics that can be used to personalise and add some punch to the home. Many of the patterns have been created with inspiration from food, for example ORANGELILJA metre fabric features bright pieces of oranges, while PIPDÅN metre fabric shows kitchen utensils and food in an eclectic monochrome mix. The metre fabrics can be used in many different ways, maybe as a long tablecloth, curtains, cushion covers, napkins or even clothes they’re just a great chance to get DSFBUJWF ✤
