Open the season of eating outdoors

Have you already missed eating in the open air? Here's how you can turn your favourite outdoor spot into a dining room with IKEA.

A taste and colours of summer

Whether enjoying them outdoors or inside, summer meals have a fresh, light quality to them. Highlight your delicacies with KEJSERLIG bowls in muted colours and a matt glaze. They are made from stoneware, a durable material that lends a rustic feel to your table setting and matches perfectly to those summery tastes.

Time to throw the garden party

When you want to throw a party or have a cosy lunch with your family, there’s nowhere better than your outdoor space. Treat it like any other room in your home – think comfort first. We have small garden dining sets for balconies as well as larger tables and chairs for the garden, so all that’s left for you is adding some finish touches like cushions and throws to make it super comfy or LED lamps that will let your garden dining area shine.

All you need in your outdoor lounge

When those precious summer days hit, having your own retreat is priceless. Updated with colourful textiles and TILLBRINGARE jug to handle refreshments, it works both as a space to greet guests and your personal, lazy lounge.

A restaurant on the go

In a mood to go out? Instead of going to the restaurant, bring yours with you. The SOMMARFLÄDER tray is ideal for carrying snacks and drinks outside or around the home.

Accessories to serve your salad season

Is there anything on the summer menu that can't be turned into a delicious salad? Maybe, but just in case, make sure you have the right tools to complement those fresh, colourful meals – our BLANDA MATT serving bowl made of bamboo will surely make them a centrepiece.

Sunny with a chance of barbecue

There's something about preparing food outside that simply heightens the moment. With the outdoor cooking season in full swing, celebrate it by having all the necessities standing by – ready to serve you whenever the forecast is looking up.

The most important feature of your outdoor kitchen? The barbeque, of course. With the GRILLSKÄR charcoal barbecue and a few other essentials in place, you'll have a kitchenette standing by whenever you get a feeling for fresh-air cooking – and enough space on the shelves for accessories, utensils, serving platters or other things you need to serve smoking hot food directly from the grill to the table.

Take your family barbecue to a whole new level with the GRILLTIDER hamburger press. The non-stick coating ensures that the patty doesn’t stick, while the ridges on the inside give your hamburger perfect grill marks. Quick and easy – and just as yummy as when the pros handle the barbecuing.

Need a spatula? Or a pair of tongs to ensure a firm grip on your food? The hardwearing GRILLTIDER barbecue tools in stainless steel can be used time and time again, without you needing to worry about them breaking, bending or rusting.

Picnic, please

Want to take your lunch up a notch? Go on, pack your items, invite your favourite people to tag along and turn lunchtime into picnic hour. The FJÄLLMOTT picnic blanket and NEREBY bag are always ready to maximise your mealtime mobility.

Breakfast buffet in the open

Who says you have to eat breakfast in your kitchen? Enjoy your pastry with a side of morning sunshine, bring a basket of breakfast goodies on the balcony, or have the first meal of the day

Tailored transport for tasty treats

Containers keeping your drink warm and food in place can offer much needed mobility and flexibility when your schedule is uncertain. If instead your day is precisely planned, even better. Then you're free to find your favourite spot for a lunch on the go.

Cheerful and hard-wearing

When you are on a picnic, the last thing you want to worry about is fragile dishes. KALAS bowls and plates made of harmless, non-breakable, scratch resistant plastic are a sustainable alternative to disposable tableware because they can be re-used.
