Good weather is here and what better thing to do than to enjoy it outdoors. So, if you have a balcony, a garden or a terrace, you have a treasure, and at IKEA we want to help you make the most of it. Keep reading and discover 7 keys to organize an outdoor lunch or dinner. Are you in?


 







1.Furniture and exterior decoration

Regardless of the space you have, light, folding furniture is always a good idea. Folding chairs, for example, are perfect for when your home fills up with guests. In addition, when you are not using them you can easily store them, saving space.


 

2. Turn up the volume

Keep the music playing, also on the terrace! With the ENEBY speaker you can listen to your favorite songs anywhere. It is portable and you can connect it to your computer or smartphone via Bluetooth.

3. Barbecues: the best way to eat outside

Barbecues are a fast and easy solution when it comes to organizing an outdoor meal, even in small spaces. Prepare simple dishes, without having to go in and out of the kitchen. Our barbecues are a delicious way to enjoy the summer in the best company.

 






4. A healthy and delicious menu

Let vegetables, fruits and salad be the protagonists. During summertime, we prefer eating more refreshing food, this is why we recommend choosing a healthy and varied menu that will make your guests happy. In our Swedish Food Market you will find all kinds of healthy and delicious food. Have you tried our salmon balls?

5. Plants to decorate the terrace

Your terrace will look so much better if you decorate it with plants. Greenery everywhere, pots of bright colors and that sense of peace and quiet that only nature can give us.

 

6. Reusable plastic tableware

When it comes to serving the food, keep it simple. Let your guests enjoy themselves carefree with our reusable plastic tableware. All the plastic dishes, bowls and platters are very resistant, light-weight and dishwasher safe.
