Ikea

While I’ve always been one to turn to IKEA whenever I need to add a pop of color to my white-on-white walls, there’s only so many floral prints you can oogle before your eyes start to glaze over. Luckily for me I recently turned to Urban Outfitters’ new Print Shop for my wall candy needs. This recent collaboration with international artist community Society6 dishes a curated collection of gallery-quality art prints all starting at $25 for a small 17” x 23” print. So far my wall is peppered with this falling man watercolor print from Kristal Raelene Melson and this green twist on the signature “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster. But if you don’t find anything that suits your eye, there’s always fan favorite 20×200 with its collector-quality artwork which always have a 200 print edition for $20. The only downside is when you’re #201!

Target and IKEA debut their designer home furnishings

 It’s time for interior design to have a go at it inside the high-meets-low ring with the latest design collaborations headlined by industry heavy hitters. First to the mat is New York designer Dror Benshetrit who is the brainchild behind the avant-garde label Studio Dror responsible for such designs like planks of wood that hang on the wall like an art installation but sit on the floor to resemble a chair.

His latest project is a 23-product Target collaboration filled with your garden variety linens and stationary as well as eye catching pieces like a retro looking sunburst wall clock ($24.99) and an ever morphing shelving unit ($89.99).

In the unit, sets of four trapeze shaped wood boxes stack on top of each other to create an angled tall shelf or can be nestled together for storage. And if that’s not unusual enough for you, next up is IKEA with its PS Collection which includes Swedish big name Front and their storybook chair.

And I kid you not, it literally is a storybook! The cushions on the chair fold like the pages of a book to unveil four different prints that tell the story of the Swedish history of textiles. Talk about page turner!
