May is a long-awaited long holiday. Travel and leisure are good, but why not take the plunge and change it to a summer interior?

A large number of new products and limited series for Golden Week are in stock at the furniture store "IKEA". This time, I will pick up and introduce such information and items that I actually visited and purchased.

◆ Oriental limited-time collection "DOFTRIK"

The "DOFTRIK Oriental Collection", which has been on sale since April 23, is a limited collection with the theme of living in the Orient culture that leads to the Silk Road. A total of 30 items such as tableware, display miscellaneous goods, and cushions are available.

By the way, the other day, the author visited the IKEA store a little earlier than Golden Week. Below, we will introduce the new products that we actually purchased (* The image is from the IKEA official website).

First up is the IKEA 365+ new series of wine glasses. I was looking for something with low legs that could be placed stably, but the point is that it is made of tempered glass and can be used for hot drinks and can be stored in a stack. It seems to be useful as a fruit and dessert cup.

This is a polypropylene basket of the new series "SPRUTT" with a neon color accent. Lightweight and water resistant, the folds around the mouth can be adjusted to the desired width. There are 3 sizes, large, medium and small, and even the largest one comes in 2 pieces and costs 299 yen. For the time being, I put it in the shopping cart and there is no loss.

The paper items from the "ÖNSKED RÖM " collection released in April were bought in bulk with a bird's illustration. Maybe I'll use it for DIY ...

At the IKEA restaurant in the store, "Jar Salad" is also on sale for a limited time until April 30th. It is expected to be crowded during Golden Week, but if you have time, we recommend "Night IKEA" after the evening!
