For some of us, Christmas can’t come soon enough, especially when IKEA has made decorating SO MUCH FUN!

The 2024 IKEA Christmas Shop is officially open and it is overflowing with affordable and timeless decor to suit homes of all shapes and sizes.

You’ll find everything from wrapping paper and gift accessories to cookie cutters and tableware – and of course, every morsel comes with a sprinkle of festive Scandi flair.

If you’re on the hunt for a new tree this year, the IKEA lineup doesn’t disappoint. In fact, we’ve got the VINTERFINT Pine Wall Decoration ($25) pegged to be mighty popular with people low on space, or who prefer minimalist Christmas decor.

Adorable tableware & ornaments

Red is on show when it comes to Tableware options this year, with rich red napkins, tablecloths and glass water bottles on offer. Our top pick is the VINTERFINT Side Plate ($5) – a beautiful partner for classic white dinner plates.

Decorations start as low as $1.50 for tree ornaments, with loads of goodies available at under $5. The Santa Claus birch plywood decoration ($9) makes a unique addition to any mantle or buffet, and the standing VINTERFINT Glass Mushrooms will bring a new kind of magic to Christmas trees this year.

The VINTERFINT Set of 3 Decorations ($20) couldn’t be more perfect for minimalist homes with a neutral palette … and they’re so pretty, you just might want to keep them on show all year.

Lighting for every type of home

Want to go grand with your lighting this season? The VINDERFINT Candle Holder is equipped to hold four candles up to 25cm in height. Pop one of these at each end of your dinner table for maximum Christmas atmosphere as you gather the family.

Among the flameless options in the breathtaking STRÅLA range is a series of lamp shades that combine with an LED bulb and cord set for unmissable Christmas light displays. Assorted Lighting Chains are also available to add some wow to trees, tables or fireplaces.

One thing’s for sure … it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
