Remember when IKEA’s iconic BILLY bookcase only came in white and wood? The days of yore, as it turns out, were about five minutes ago – but now, in an all-new blue, it signals just how much has shifted with the brand’s summer 2026 debuts, and that fresh Pantone on one of its most classic storage solutions is only the tip of the iceberg.
Delve deeper, and IKEA's new summer collections are still, well, those of increasingly clever storage ideas. A wall-mounted bedside table takes up virtually no floor space while cleverly concealing whatever you’d rather keep out of sight, alongside a delectable chocolate corduroy chair – machine-washable and tailor-made for small spaces, summer moves, and anyone whose July plans don’t involve wool throws.
Step outside, and the summer air is palpably playful. Punchy, color-soaked pieces like the HÖGÖN umbrella in off-white and bright yellow call to mind a country club – musing the membership you’ve been waiting to join, and now, arguably, don’t need to. The VÄSMAN table, paired with six TALLSKÄR chairs, meanwhile, sets the entire foundation for your next backyard bash.
Delivering color, creativity, and, in most cases, both, shop 24 of IKEA’s latest.
