Seriously; can't you almost smell the burning coal from the barbecue?
This year, IKEA is telling us not to worry about expensive holidays abroad, about far-flung beaches and long-haul flights. Instead, they say, we should consider if all along, the relaxation and escape we really need, could actually be waiting a lot closer than you think it is – at home.
This is what they had to say:
"What if the best vacation is the staycation," the homeware giant asks us. "The summer that you spend with all the things dear to your heart; friends, family, comfort and convenience."
"So this year’s summer collection of comfy outdoor furniture, solar driven lighting, vibrant fabrics and fresh accessories invites people to slow down and capture each moment of their summer. Because, whether rain or sunshine, let’s be real about it: there’s no place like home."
Indeed.
Just think about it. Late nights in the garden. Friends over for a barbecue. Impromptu trips to nearby parks or beaches. Picnics. Sunny days on the terrace. It all sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?
Or explore the seaside near you.
Psst! This year’s new no-fuss grill-pan lets you barbecue your food straight on the grill."
You got us, IKEA. We do want to make this summer the best one in a long time – and all without stepping foot on a plane. What we have our eyes on? Well, these for sure (and then probably a whole lot of other things too, once we get ourselves up to IKEA for a good snoop around):
Sommar 2018 lanters for tea light (€6).
Sommar 2018 plant pots (from €5).
Krokholmen outdoor coffee table (€40).
Sommar 2018 mug (€3) and bowl (€2).
Sommar 2018 hanging plants (€21).
