An LED bulb that’s even more efficient

SOLHETTA LED bulb lasts for up to 25,000 hours – that’s 35% more energy efficient than previous IKEA LED bulbs. If you use a SOLHETTA LED bulb for three hours a day, it’ll be 20 years before you need to change it.

Induction hobs use a technology that means energy is transferred directly into magnetic cookware. This means that they only heat your pots and pans – and you can get started on your cooking sooner.

Blinds to insulate your windows

HOPPVALS blinds have a honeycomb structure that traps air, to keep in the heat. This extra insulation may help you to reduce heating costs, especially when combined with a second layer of thicker curtains.
