Beyond Ikea in Stockholm

Houseproud Britons looking for something unique to add to their homes might want to grab a flight to Stockholm for the Stockholm Furniture Fair between February 7th and 11th.

This international event sees thousands of visitors from across the globe flock to the city for the chance to glimpse and purchase furniture designs from both established and up-and-coming designers.

While the first four days of the fair are traditionally for industry professionals, the event's organisers open up the fair to the public on the Sunday.

On this day, travellers to Stockholm can peruse a wide range of living room, bedroom and other furniture with designs ranging from the traditional to the cutting edge.

This fair offers a superb opportunity for those who prefer the very Swedish designs from the likes of Ikea to broaden their horizons – and perhaps give future house visitors something new to talk about.

For further information, take a look at the Stockholm Furniture Fair website.
