New IKEA homewares: Our top October picks

By Amy Collins-Walker โ€ข Leave a Comment

While there’s plenty to covet in this month’s IKEA drop, its the MUSSELBLOMMA collection that really piqued our interest. Giving ocean plastic a new life, it’s a great marriage of style and substance. Read on for more on this collection and our other favourites from the range.

MUSSELBLOMMA collection: Made from polyester fabric manufactured out of recycled plastic, including PET plastic waste caught in the nets by Spanish fisherman in the Mediterranean Sea, this limited-edition collection is fresh and fun while giving ocean plastic new life.

IKEA MUSSELBLOMMA collection

Given plastic pollution harms countless marine species and habitats across the globe, this initiative gets a big thumbs up from us. The range consists of a tote bag, cushion covers and a tablecloth. From $9.99.

KRISTINELUND mirror: Handmade by skilled artisans, no two of these beauties are the same. The natural fibre rattan will imbue any space with warmth and character. $49.

TILLTALANDE cushion: Made by female artisans, Jordanians and Syrian refugees, each of these desert-themed cushion covers features hand-embroidery and cute camel and palm tree motifs. Furthermore, every purchase supports women in their efforts to earn a sustainable income and develop their skills. $29.99.

KRINGGร… set of four vases: Ideal as bud vases or for holding very small posies, these vases look equally as impressive when styled sans blooms. You can line them up, group them or use them as single vases. $19.99.

FYXNร„S floor lamp: We love the tripod legs and retro feel of this lamp that’s shade uses a double layered knitted textile for an ambient vibe. It’s available in a turquoise floor and table lamp and a dark red table lamp too. $50.

LUSTIGKURRE baskets: Perfect for lovers of the natural trend, this new range of natural fibre baskets introduces a new material; nipa palm stalk fibre. The first global retailer to use the material, it’s one of the most sustainable there is.

The series also includes baskets and a magazine stand in different designs using materials like nipa palm, jute, seagrass, bamboo and water hyacinth. Each basket is handmade ensuring no two are identical. From $19.

IKEA baskets

UPPLAGA dinnerware: It’s the soft ruffled edge that takes this range up a notch. Classic without being dull, this existing range has just welcomed a mug, serving plate and side plate to the mix. From $4.99.

Our friends at @mintdesignau have done it again!

Homeowner Briony Marsh says: Itโ€™s totally changed our home lifestyle now we can sit outside on the lounge in the sun or shade, be in the pool, spa, sauna or cooking pizzas and hanging out with friends. It sounds cliched but it really feels like we are on holiday at home!โ€

Head over to the blog to see the finer details, including a sauna and a seriously good looking copper pizza oven. There's a lot packed into this space!

Located inside a 1912 sandstone villa in Adelaideโ€™s Kensington, this bathroom makeover combines classic and contemporary elements that complement the homeโ€™s original, period features. 

Designed by the homeโ€™s owner @designby_Tahirih, who is a property stylist too, the renovation came sooner than expected after water ingress made the makeover of their only bathroom an urgent necessity!

The whole project cost an impressive $20k, project managed herself.

I remember the chair being such a key purchase whe I remember the chair being such a key purchase when I put together my first ever baby room for Seb. I spent many an evening relaxing on mine while pregnant as I tried to get my head around impending motherhood!

Did you love your nursery chair? Did it look this good?!

There's a LOT of goodness in @sageandclare's lates There's a LOT of goodness in @sageandclare's latest collection Marguerite but the Aida rug has to be my personal fave.

Handcrafted from wool, it features a rustic check design with a rainbow of nostalgic colour. Embroidered edge stitching furthers its handcrafted feel. 

โ€œThis is pure colour joy bundled up in a hard-wearing and happy rug that will lift any room with ease," says creative director Phoebe Bell.

A DIY dining nook bench seat with storage for $120 A DIY dining nook bench seat with storage for $1200!

After 4 years of saying โ€œa dining nook would be great thereโ€ฆโ€ South Australians @the_groves_abode finally got a quote from a local cabinet maker for a built-in bench seat with storage. When the $4,000 price tag was revealed, criminologist, chronic over-achiever and wannabe carpenter Andrew decided to have a crack at it instead.

And we're so impressed with the end result which cost just over a grand. Read what they did, what they used and how in the blog now, via link in bio.

Mess = stress! Today on the blog, @little_label_c Mess = stress!

Today on the blog, @little_label_co founder Natalie Manoushian is sharing her top tips for a more organised home. I'd love you to share your best tips in the comments too!

"Disorganisation puts barriers in the way. Imagine how much quicker you would get things done if your home or work space ran smoothly. Researchers have found that clutter can actually make it more difficult to focus on a particular task. From the frustration of not being able to find what we need, to the feeling of being constantly surrounded by chaos, a disorganised environment creates brain fog and can lead to procrastination and reduces productivity. It can also trigger feelings of stress and anxiety, making it difficult to switch off, relax and sleep well."
