The latest IKEA Life at Home Report explores why – and how – in a world of uncertainty and constant change – small, simple changes can help bring more joy into everyday life.
Now in its 11th year, the Life at Home Report 2024 is one of the world’s most comprehensive studies on how people live and what truly makes them happy at home.
