IKEA’s winter collection brings holiday color and light to the home

Even if it is the same table, if you spread a cloth and turn on a small lamp, it becomes a different place. It's like getting ready to welcome guests at the place where you eat every day. There are items that can change the atmosphere of your home without changing major furniture.

IKEA's winter 2026 collection brings together such items. VINTERFINT handles decorations and fabrics, tableware and gift wrapping, STRÅLA deals with lighting, and VINTERSAGA deals with seasonal foods. IKEA’s Belgian announcement lists sales from October. Korean availability and prices were not verified for this article.

Familiar holiday traditions, unexpected colors

There are two directions in this collection. Familiar seasonal colors and decorations referencing Scandinavian traditions, and the bright colors and unexpected shapes of ‘Happy Carnaval’. Even within the same year-end decoration, there is a choice between a restrained arrangement and a playful mix of colors.

Designer Marta Krupinska's dishes, containers, candle holders and decorations add color to simple geometric shapes. Instead of simply repeating traditional year-end items, the composition brings out a slightly playful form on the table.

Decorations to unfold, then fold away

Paper decorations are also featured heavily in this introduction. It has a structure that allows you to unfold it, store it, and take it out again the next season. Paper trees, garlands, and small decorations not only make you think about how they look while you are using them, but also where you will put them after the event is over.

STRÅLA's star-shaped lights, table lights and strings of outdoor lights fill the area. While dishes and decorations create the appearance during the day, lighting changes how the same space is used after the sun sets. Installation conditions for each product must be checked separately.

There is no need to change your entire home to prepare for the end of the year. Give the everyday dining table different colors and light, then fold the decorations away when the season ends. What stays with us is the place these small objects find in a room, rather than the size of a new piece of furniture.
