IKEA’s Summer 2019 Collection is Like a Beach Day Come to Life

IKEA is a many-splendored thing. Along with thousands of affordable, Scandi-style home furnishings, the Swedish megastore is known to drop some seriously stylish seasonal collections.

The SOMMAR 2019 line is no exception. Filled with colorful table wares and sprightly decor items, IKEA’s latest collection is brimming with inexpensive finds to spruce up your home for summer. So we scoured the line high and low and gathered eight standout offerings from IKEA’s summer line, to save you some time and money.

Don’t let the price tag of this flatwoven striped outdoor rug fool you. It’s sleek enough to use indoors but also water-resistant, so you can use it anywhere that’s prone to heavy traffic (and margarita spills).

Searching for an inexpensive way to turn a picnic table into a summer-friendly party site? This colorful floral tablecloth screams “summertime” and will only set you back 13 bucks.

A yellow scalloped planter for only $2 is the stuff IKEA dreams are made of. This plastic cutie is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and will instantly brighten up any space.

A good beach towel makes drying off—and sunbathing—a breeze. This $13 terrycloth stunner is large enough to lie on but absorbent enough to use as a bath towel if necessary.

No summer fete would be complete without some portable lighting. Turn your backyard into an ambient atmosphere with this adorable LED lantern that gives off a nice, warm light (but only costs $4).

Turn a day at the beach into a full-fledged summer soiree by bringing along this chic $7 wine cooler—and of course, a nice big bottle of rosé.

Nothing says “summertime” like a picnic in the park. This bright yellow floral patterned picnic basket is composed of galvanized steel, so it will keep your beverages and munchies cool inside without sacrificing an inch of style.

The only thing better than a versatile teapot is one that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. This stoneware charmer is both microwave and dishwasher safe, but will only cost you 15 bucks.
