You're 4 steps away from your own park

Who said ‘stuck in the city’? Stuck is a mindset, and mood can set your mind. Even when your only piece of outside space is your favorite bench in the local park, there’s still a way to bring that atmosphere home with you. Get creative with what you see, what you breathe and where you sit at home, and you might just find a little place of your own to unwind, right there in your own home.

1. Find a quiet place to sit

Creating that spot to unwind in the home is about bringing greenery into your space, just like your favorite park, and also bringing a relaxing and casual seating option, like the INGMARSÖ bench.

2. Simple, affordable updates

Creating a harmonious space is about attending to all your senses. This can be achieved in simple, affordable ways such as with natural textiles or in the softly vanilla-scented LUGGA block candle collection, designed in shades of the same color so they can be arranged together for a balanced impression.

3. And breathe...

The air we breathe, both inside and outside our homes, often contains more pollutants than we realize. The FÖRNUFTIG air purifier is a simple, versatile solution for even the smallest spaces. This plug-in device purifies air of odors, dust, smoke, pollen and chemicals.

4. Electric block-out blinds

With FYRTUR block-out roller blinds, you can set a timer to let you enjoy a good night’s sleep in the dark and then be woken up by daylight as the blinds go up in the morning. You can control them with remote control, the IKEA Home smart app which includes a timer, and Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit or Google Home.
