Art shouldn’t be reserved for galleries and the homes of the rich and famous. And that’s exactly why IKEA’s releasing a limited edition collection of art objects with prices starting from just £19 in order to make art accessible to everyone. The IKEA KONSTRUNDA collection is launching on 1st September both online and in stores – and I’m already planning on elevating my home with a few of the featured pieces.

IKEA’s been killing it lately with imaginative and design-forward collections, from the viral IKEA PS 2026 collection filled with future design classics like the PS 2026 floor lamp to the clever and compact IKEA KOMPISHÄNG range which launched only a few weeks ago. But the IKEA KONSTRUNDA range takes things even further as it focuses purely on the aesthetic value of the 22 objects created by seven different designers and artists.

‘Art should be available for all to enjoy, not a luxury reserved for galleries,’ says Karin Gustavsson, the collection’s creative leader. ‘Art evokes emotion, sparks conversation and helps transform a house into a home. With KONSTRUNDA, we wanted to create a collection that encourages people to express themselves and surround themselves with objects they love.’

Art can make your home look more expensive and considered. But it usually comes at a rather high price. But that’s not the case with the IKEA KONSTRUNDA art objects and creative pieces of furniture and soft furnishings.

Named after the Swedish word for ‘art tour’, the KONSTRUNDA range includes both purely ‘decorative’ objects and more practical pieces of furniture with a playful design - like stools and side tables - as well as soft furnishings like cushions and rugs, which can also be turned into wall hangings.

My top IKEA KONSTRUNDA picks

IKEA KONSTRUNDA decoration 28'

Perfect for displaying trinkets, as an eye-catching key holder or even just placed on a sideboard on its own, this is currently my top pick from the collection.

IKEA KONSTRUNDA decoration multi-colour

Designed by in-house IKEA designer Akanksha Deo, this object is inspired by toy wooden blocks most of us would have played with as children.

IKEA KONSTRUNDA vase black/white 28'

Brought to life by Swedish artist Lisa Reiser, this abstract, shadow-like vase is made from mouth-blouth glass. It will elevate any space whether you place a few flower stems in it or none at all.

IKEA KONSTRUNDA stool blue

Created by London-based furniture designer Andu Masebo, this pinewood stool stands out with its unusual triangular shape and bold blue shade.

IKEA KONSTRUNDA decoration black

I don’t smoke, but if I did, this would make for the coolest ashtray in my opinion. Made from black glass by Lisa Reiser, this solid, polished object gives the illusion of fluidity and softness.

IKEA KONSTRUNDA decoration green

I think artist Lisa Reiser has found a new fan in me as many of my top picks from this collection are from her. And that includes this green glass sculpture that's reminiscent of gummy sweets.

Of course, you don’t have to wait for the 1st September to inject some artistic flair into your home without breaking the bank. Here are a few pieces that will make your home look more interesting and intentional that are available to shop now.

M&S Medium Irregular Smoked Glass Vase

Selling for only £15, this glass vase looks both stylish in its dark amber hue and artistic due to its organic, abstract shape.

Bloomingville Shine decorative bowl 18cm

Even though the IKEA KONSTRUNDA chrome dish is at the top of my wish list, there are other places you (and I) can get something similar. Nordic Nest included.

Westwing Mauricio Decorative Marble and Walnut Wood Object

Similarly to Akanksha Deo's piece for IKEA, this object, too, references toy blocks and can be arranged and rearranged however you like.

Tavana Studio Modern Linen Wall Hanging – Bojagi Patchwork Textile Art

The rug designs from the IKEA KONSTRUNDA range can easily be used as decorative wall hangings. But the likes of Etsy are full of beautiful, handmade tapestries like this patchwork number.

Westwing Layana Vase 24cm

Featuring the Yves Klein blue shade, this matte resin vase boasts a playful sculptural design that will make a real statement in any home. It's also available in more pared-back off-white.

Ferm Living Koa vases, set of 3

Is it a trio of bud vases or art objects? But can't it be both?! These angular vases from Scandi brand Ferm Living will look beautiful placed on any shelf.
