Club Benefits
I want to claim that I'm the 'outdoorsy' type, but my husband would certainly argue otherwise. Don't get me wrong, I love the sunny weather. I just don't like the bugs and I'm constantly finding ways to keep wasps off my porch and planting this one fragrant herb that deters mosquitoes.
Perhaps I just needed a stylish outdoors collection from IKEA to inspire me to embrace nature, so the new SOLUPPGÅNG range looks set to do just the trick.

Fortunately, as is in-keeping with IKEA's whole ethos, it's super affordable with just over 20 items ranging from $4 to $80
In recent months, I've been tempted in by IKEA's gardening collection and the tool I found in the IKEA kid's collection that transformed my productivity. But, I'm a little surprised at how excited IKEA's new outdoor collection has made me feel.
As IKEA puts it, the SOLUPPGÅNG range is: "Drawing inspiration from Nordic friluftsliv, the philosophy of open-air living, and Japanese komorebi, the poetic fleeting beauty of sunlight filtering through leaves." Sure, it sounds like a lot of great words, but when it's actually translated into the collection it also looks great, too.
And fortunately, as is in-keeping with IKEA's whole ethos, it's super affordable with just over 20 items ranging from $4 to $80. And for $80, you get a whole compact cast-iron charcoal grill that I've certainly got my eye on. Other items include enamel kitchenware, cutlery, a LED lantern, foldable stool and table, and even a bamboo cooler basket.
But, designer Ola Wihlborg is also focused on durability: "We prioritized quality above all else. It's better to have something that lasts longer and becomes more personal along the way."
Adding: "Durable materials like cast-iron and enamelled steel make the products long-lasting, while natural details give them a warm, tactile feel."
Who said outdoor living couldn't be incredibly chic? Consider me sold on the new collection and with a few things already added to my basket, I'll happily say I've got all the gear and no idea.
