Dopamine decor has been having a moment lately, with bright, colorful and playful furnishings injecting a bit of mood-lifting fun into people's homes. Now, it looks like the movement is making its way outdoors, and IKEA's outdoor range is packed with vibrant, quirky yard furniture and accessories.
A minty green Skogson outdoor chair and pastel yellow Tanebro side table are ideal for relaxing or entertaining outside, and for balcony storage, the electric-blue Sundso cabinet is practical but not dull. When it comes to lighting, you're spoiled for choice — the Solvinden LED lantern range is full of outdoor lamps in enticing candy tones, and you could even string one up from the playful, squiggly lamp stand from the same range.
