A Maximalists Dream with Zandra Rhodes x Ikea

Sorry to all minimalists, this is your nightmare because it is the wildest dream of a maximalist: The new Zandra Rhodes x IKEA collection is here, and it took over my home.

If we defined family not by blood but by the world we build, British designer Zandra Rhodes and I would be closely related! We don’t just share our pink bob hairstyle, but also a deep love for colour, boldness and the joy to turn whatever we touch into a wild mix. We don’t expect things to match, we just make them do so.

After designing garments for Princess Diana, Freddie Mercury and many others, Zandra’s latest stroke is a fabulous collection for IKEA, now available in-store and online. The 26 products of the Karismatisk collection, such as rugs, pillows, vases and textiles, are waiting for you and eager to spice up your homes. More is more, and Zandra is everything! All her creations are not just fabulous but as well practical and allow you to express your personality.

I believe that home should be a place that feels happy, positive, a space that welcomes you with a hug. For me, it was always clear that home must be a place that looks and feels like my personality. Colour is an essential (if not the most important) part of it. Whenever I have to be in an all-white minimalistic room, I notice that it lacks the energy colour give me. People often ask me if I am not afraid I will get tired of the colour. I am tempted to ask back how they can never get tired of white. People who enter my home usually mention that they love its energy too and it makes me even happier to know this and recommend everybody to be bold while designing their home. Make it your playground, your unique palace, your wonderland.

And I can’t forget to mention: Everybody needs a frilly pink IKEA bag! Zandra’s pieces are an excellent addition to my home, and I think they can add glamour to a lot of homes.
