Everything starts in the kitchen

The kitchen isn’t just a room – it’s the heart of the home, where life happens. It’s where dreams take shape, life skills are learnt and the problems of the world are solved. Or at least discussed. Here, we gather friends and family, celebrate life’s little victories and share what’s on our minds and weighing on our hearts. We believe the kitchen is so much more than a place to cook and eat. It’s where we connect with each other. And, ultimately, that’s all that matters.

Recipe for an evening of friendship

Did you invite family or friends over and started feeling the pressure? Relax!

Follow this simple IKEA recipe for a relaxed, cosy get-together. Start with a few ingredients you always have at home: tables, chairs, plates, cutlery. Don't worry too much about the details. Just go with your gut. You can always add another chair if you need to.

I miss you Grandma. See you at the table.

Don’t let distance get in the way of staying connected. Prepare something delicious and meet at the dining table. It doesn’t even have to be the same table. Just get on line and get together. After all, long distance love is still love.

Connection starts at the table

Life’s worth celebrating, and where better to do it than gathered around the table? Throw some grub together, set the table, and summon the tribe. Pull up a chair, a stool, a log- whatever’s at hand. Who cares if nothing matches? It’s time for connection, not perfection.

TIDSAMM: The joy of cooking together

We love eating together. But cooking itself? That often remains a solo routine. IKEA wants to change that. Because the kitchen is so much more than a functional place to prepare food. It's a space where you can be together, talk, laugh, and make memories.

Time for TIDSAMM!

Dreams take shape in the kitchen

Many companies were conceived at the kitchen table. Or, if you enjoy cooking, at the stove. We are convinced that even the smallest spaces can inspire the biggest ideas. In the kitchen, there is always room for creativity, smart solutions (such as wall storage), and that little push you need to make your dreams come true.
