A blue and yellow icon of a house appears on screen, above an IKEA logo.
[Female voice begins narrating] - Hej! Have you heard about IKEA Home smart? Our solution for making your home that little bit smarter and your life a whole lot easier?
The icon becomes a dollhouse, and we zoom in through a window, now seeing scenes of real life at home. In quick succession, a hand grabs a glass, a child runs through a living space, a phone is placed on a magnetic charger, and orange juice is poured into the glass.
- Relax. You don't have to change the home you love and live in.

- Much. You just have to add some smart details...
A child toddles out of a bedroom, holding toys.
- For instance, if you like hanging out on your comfy sofa.
A family is gathered on a living room sofa, reading the child a bedtime story.
- How could we add to that comfort?
The camera sweeps across a sideboard with a lamp and SYMFONISK WiFi speaker.
- What if you could control the lights?
A person screws a smart lightbulb into a lamp.
- Easy! Set the mood with your fingertips.
A finger presses a white remote control, and the bulb lights up. Other light fixtures turn on and off, including one that flashes different colours.
- What else can we make smarter?
We see the family on the sofa again.
- How about sound? You can connect that too. So you won't have to leave the sofa. Only continue chilling, and change the scene to...
The father and child read a book together. A person places a white SYMFONISK table lamp speaker on a sideboard. Another white SYMFONISK bookshelf speaker is placed on a sideboard, and switched on.
- Night club.
The child dances in the living room, as his parents smile and look on.
- And when you have to get up way too early on a Tuesday morning. Why not let the outside world in, nice and slowly, with your connected blinds.
The man is sleeping in bed. Sunlight streams into the room, as grey smart blinds slowly open automatically.
- Yeah. Your life at home is many different things, and finally there is an easy way for you to control most of it, anyway you want it to.
A hand reaches for a mobile phone, next to a smart gateway. The lights dim as the family enjoys dinner together.
- Automatically, with your voice, the app, or with remotes. Like a good night's sleep. It starts with a click.
A motion-activated table lamp switches on as the child runs by. The man silently moves his mouth, and a SYMFONISK table lamp speaker lights up. The couple get ready for bed by using a shortcut button to dim the lights and close the blinds.
- There you go. IKEA Home smart.
We zoom out to a view of the family’s home as a dollhouse.

The SYMFONISK speakers are a collaboration between IKEA and Sonos, so they easily integrate with other Sonos prdoucts. You can stream music, podcasts and radio via WiFi without interruptions from phone calls or notifications. The music keeps playing even when your phone or tablet is not nearby. Control each speaker individually to play music in one room and an audiobook in another, or group them and play the same sound throughout your home.
