A home makeover is up for grabs and 30 per cent off 30 food items too!

It’s been 30 years since the well-known Swedish furniture store, Ikea arrived in the UAE.

The first store in the UAE opened in 1991, following the vision of Ingvar Kamprad, founder of IKEA, who believed that anyone should be able to afford stylish, modern furniture, IKEA was here to create a better everyday life for the many people.

Fast forward to 2021, the brand remains true to itself as it celebrates 30 years of being in the region.

To mark the occasion, IKEA, the region’s favourite Swedish home furnishing retailer part of Al-Futtaim Group, is introducing new home furnishing ideas, inspirations and solutions that are sustainable, affordable and functional to support the many changes that the pandemic has introduced to life at home.

This year, understanding the impact of the global pandemic on life at home became imperative.

Against the turbulence of the changing world, 78 per cent globally agreed that home became a sanctuary with living spaces that transformed into offices, schools, gyms and playgrounds.

People adjusted to an entirely new way of living, with home at the heart of their lives and started spending on refreshing their homes to match it to their emotional needs.

With healthy and sustainable living becoming a part of the consumers’ lifestyle, home furnishing solutions needed to evolve.

IKEA’s new products and solutions aim to inspire and enable the many people to live a better everyday life and become people and planet positive.

As part of its celebration, IKEA is showcasing rooms and activities that support the new life at home introduced during the pandemic.

Commenting on its 30th birthday in the region, Vinod Jayan, Managing Director at IKEA – UAE, Oman and Egypt, said: ‘’Life at home has never been more important than it is today. Home has become the place where the many spend time with family, relish a meal together, indulge in cooking new recipes and exercising.

“With these changes, everyone is expected to build a space to pursue hobbies, spend more time in their outdoor space and also create a cosy workspace corner.

“And we want to be a part of this journey. As we turn 30, we want to offer new home furnishing ideas and solutions to inspire our customers to live a better everyday life.’’

We want to thank all our customers for the last 30 years and welcome them to the next 30 at IKEA,’’ Jayan added.
