First we saw Sainsburys bring us trend led homeware at great prices, now we see Tesco joining in. Tesco has been offering home furnishings for a while, but their new brand called Fox & Ivy gives us something a little bit different.

There is a strong art deco theme running through the collection featuring a lot of copper, gold, pattern and cut glass. With small accessories including tableware, vases and frames as well as soft furnishings, you will be sure to find something you love.

We have been waiting a long time for this collaboration. And if you don’t know about it, here is the lowdown.

Launching in October Swedish giant Ikea has joined forces with Danish brand Hay to create the new Ypperlig collection. Featuring furniture, vases, throws and accessories the Ypperlig collection has been designed to ‘challenge people’s perception of Ikea quality and design’

New redesign of Ikea Frakta bag

Hay has also taken on the challenge of redesigning the iconic blue & yellow Frakta bag. The size & shape has remained, with new colours including the green & white version pictured. Hay wanted to turn the bag into a ‘design object’ that customers appreciate.

We love the simplicity and muted colours of the collection, with strong design that will fit into any room. As Ikea says ‘a contemporary yet ageless collection’

Keep an eye out in store and online during October / ikea.com
