Summer Nights...and Days: Make Your Summer home Fantasy into Reality

‘Tis the most wonderful time of the year! Summer! Pack your bags! Head on to the best summer destinations in the world: Maldives, the Bahamas, the Philippines, and Hawaii! What? You’re staying home?

Well, let us make your summer worthwhile. Redesign your home and make it the Summer Getaway of your dreams! Doing this feat, we require the help of our IKEA APPLARO collection. These pieces have got what it takes to transform your home into a pseudo-resthouse.

Summer is all about taking a break and relaxing. And relaxing means having a book, laying down on a soft, comfy sofa, and sitting down lots of times. And if this is your idea of unwinding, maybe the IKEA APPLARO corner sofa will be your best friend. Or if that is a bit dark for you, why not a 3-seat sofa with a footstool to make everything cozier?

Even if you stay home, nobody ever really wishes to spend summer all alone. That’s why we invite friends over to our place and chat endlessly until sunset. And if we are going to do that, we need some place comfortable. How about in your balcony, or garden?

First off, for a refreshing view, there should be plants and greens all around to offset some of the summer heat. If you haven’t enough space for a full-on garden, maybe a hanging one would do. The APPLARO bench with a wall panel shelf springs to mind. You would have a bench to chat, and a garden behind you. How refreshing!

The drop-leaf table is one of the most ingenious ideas invented by mankind. You keep it as it is when you want intimate dates and looking forward to a hot summer night. If you are expecting family lunches, you can extend the table’s leaves so you’ll have more seating capacity. There is also a hole to stick an umbrella if the heat gets somewhat unbearable, or if it gets too bright.

The minimalist would want a gateleg table for easy storage if it’s not going to be in use for a long time. Of course these sets would not be complete without chairs. And reclining wooden chairs are what the APPLARO is all about. They can be straightened for serious conversations and while eating. Relaxing requires a more reclined chair so you can set hat up, too. Now, for maximum relaxation, equip the chairs with the IKEA HALLO seat cushion.

Finally, could you imagine a perfectly good summer without food? Of course, you can’t! Which is why we still got you covered. Good barbies are cooked on amazing grilles. And an amazing grille we give you. The IKEA APPLARO KLASEN charcoal grille will make you look like a 5-Michelin Star chef just by having it. To serve your masterpiece, the outdoor trolley is a nice addition.

There are a lot of outdoor furniture and outdoor storage solutions on Urban Sales and picking the right one is as easy as feeling that summer breeze.

Have fun!
