It might be cold outside, but you can easily turn your kitchen into a cozy nest with IKEA's latest collection of cookware and accessories in warm shades of petrol blue, accented with earthy natural walnut. It's a refreshing combo, and a sophisticated change from the candy pastels that dominated last year.

My favorite pieces are the Gladelig Dinnerware Set and Gladelig Baking Dish Set, with their lovely rustic blue glaze that makes me think of dinner on a sunny Mediterranean evening. All the pieces are microwave-, dishwasher-, and oven-safe, so you can rest assured they'll last for years despite their modest price tags.

Speaking of affordable accessories. IKEA's new glassware is a great way to add an unconventional hint of color to your kitchen table. I particularly like the Pokal Glass, which is ideal for water or juice at breakfast, and is just $2.49. For dinner time, the Rödräka Champagne Flute with its unusual petrol-blue stem is only $3.99.

IKEA wowed us with its tiny Kallsup speakers at the CES 2026 tech show in Las Vegas, but you don't have to wait until they launch in April to enjoy big sound in a small form factor. Right now you can pick up a set of waterproof Vappeby Bluetooth Speakers for $31.98.

To finish things off, why not give your lighting a glow-up with the glossy blue Trettioen Pendant Lamp, or the rattan Kappeland / Havsdjup Pendant Lamp for a more natural, earthy look?
