Welcome to Storyflo Daily Lifestyle. I'm Lily. Today, we're diving into the world of home decor, outdoor living, and entertaining with friends and family.
First up, IKEA has made inflatable furniture chic. The Swedish brand's 10th rendition of the IKEA PS collection features a remake of an early-2000s classic: the inflatable chair. According to Domino, this latest design is a culmination of three decades of trial and error, with a focus on creating a comfortable and stylish piece that's impossible to tell is filled with air at first glance.
Next, we're shining a spotlight on outdoor decor. If you're looking to upgrade your patio, IKEA's summer sale is a must-check. Through July 2, you can shop bestsellers and tried-and-true classics up to 50% off, including a $140 dining set that's perfect for happy hour or al fresco dinning.
Speaking of entertaining, have you considered hosting dinner parties in a basement apartment? Niko Dafkos and Paul Firmin, founders of Earl of East, share their expertise on making a rental feel like home in their new book, Home For Now. According to Domino, Dafkos and Firmin's basement apartment in East London is a testament to the idea that impermanence can inspire precision in design.
But it's not just about the furniture and decor – it's about the memories and experiences we create with friends and family. Whether it's a summer home or a cozy backyard, it's the little details that make it special. That's why we're loving the idea of a Secret Section on Instagram for vintage decor enthusiasts. According to Domino, Instagram live sales offer a unique way to discover one-of-a-kind homewares with patina and soul, sourced by knowledgeable small businesses.
Lastly, we're taking a peek at what's trending in home decor. From pattern-filled dream homes to no-sew, no-drill Roman shades, there's a lot to love about the latest interior design trends. According to Domino, a rug is a quick fix for rentals and can make an alfresco escape feel as cozy as your living room. When selecting a style, it's essential to consider the climate and whether it's a neutral or something a bit more colorful.
Lily out.
