Travel Ikea Is Now Selling Tiny Homes and They’re As Stylish As You’d Expect

For decades, Ikea has decorated and organized homes across the world, thanks to its ready-to-assemble furniture. Now, the beloved Swedish company is taking its dedication to home goods a step further with the creation of its very first tiny home.

With a focus on sustainability, Ikea’s latest product doesn’t sacrifice any luxuries or comforts, despite its compact size. According to Lonely Planet, Ikea partnered with Vox Creative and RV and tiny home builder Escape to design the tiny home with eco-friendly features.

Built as part of the Ikea Tiny Home Project, the trailer is a customized version of Escape’s Vista Boho XL model. The added features include solar panels, composting toilets, and an on-demand heated water supply, powered by the trailer, Lonely Planet reports. Potential buyers can get a better idea of what their new abode might look like through an online shopping experience created by Vox. The Ikea-specific website allows audiences to explore the home and buy furniture or other knickknacks to personalize their tiny home.

Amazon’s Best-selling Rain Jacket Comes in 41 Colors

It has more than 2,000 perfect reviews. “I love this jacket and it is perfect for hiking in rainy areas,” another reviewer said. “There is no soft liner inside the jacket, so it does not feel nice against bare skin, but I have found a long sleeve shirt works well to combat that. It is fitted, but not uncomfortably so. It is also incredibly easy to pack and not heavy at all.” Head to Amazon to grab the best-selling Columbia style thousands of shoppers swear is a must-have for rainy days. © Provided by Travel + Leisure Courtesy of Amazon To buy: amazon.

Swedish furniture giant IKEA is now expanding its reach into a new frontier - warzones. With its innovative flat pack shelters, now even refugees The foundation has teamed up with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and Refugee Housing Unit to design and build a better home for refugee families.

Executive Summary: IKEA is known globally for its low prices and innovatively designed furniture. Swedish furniture giant IKEA was founded by entrepreneur Ingvar Kamprad in 1943. This will mean the first store will take much longer to open than Indians expect and the rollout will be painfully slow.

"It was a natural pairing," Escape founder Dan Dobrowolski told Lonely Planet. "We feature many Ikea products in our various tiny home designs around the country, as they mirror the renewable, reusable, and recycled materials we incorporate into the actual structures."

The custom build took 60 days to complete, with Ikea senior interior design leader Abbey Stark telling Lonely Planet that she “wanted to source renewable, reusable, and recycled materials when possible to make the space functional as well as beautiful.”

And she succeeded in that mission. The whitewashed panels of the tiny home are made from sustainably grown pine, while the kitchen cupboards are fashioned with recycled bottle tops. The entire home is also decorated with neutral tones and includes practical features such as built-in storage and a collapsible desk.

The Ikea BOHO XL model from Escape starts at $47,550, and you can take a virtual tour of the home here.
