ikeaarholmaMarch 9, 2009 – Trend-setting retailer IKEA recently revealed its top summer trends for 2009. Here's a look at the new products being offered in the company's outdoor living category.

Canadians love the outdoors. Although we complain about the weather, we secretly love the fact that our lives can embrace such a diversity of activities through the seasons. When the summer comes, we throw open the windows and doors and run outside. The backyard, deck or balcony becomes an extra room for our homes as we extend the indoors to the outdoors. In recent years, there has been more attention to design in outdoor spaces. IKEA's outdoor furniture range has evolved to reflect current trends as well as having a strong focus on comfort.

“This year, IKEA is introducing a whole new summer range for dining, relaxing and creating an outdoor haven." says Madeleine Lowenborg-Frick, public relations manager for IKEA Canada. "Three key trends have emerged from this season's Collection. Modular lounge seating, eco-friendly outdoor options, and graphic statements. These trends are driven by function as much as by style."

The movable modules enable you to arrange the furniture however it best suits the space, making it equally at home on a large deck or a condo balcony.

Eco-Friendly Design

The APPLARO collection of outdoor furniture is made from Acacia, a durable, hardwearing wood with a warm golden brown tone that is cultivated in plantations rather than sourced from naturally intact forests. It is a great alternative to tropical woods like teak.
