Just took a quick peak at the new IKEA 2012 catalogue (US version) and thought I'd share a bit of what I saw. So if you are like me and don't like previews like this before you see things for yourself, skip it, baby skip it! There wasn't anything that just went "wow" to me, but there are a few nice additions I thought worth mentioning. First off the new SKURAR series powder-coated galvanized steel hanging planters and flower pots. So cute and seriously cheap $4.99 and $2.99!
Striped textiles! Finally, is all I can say! I have no idea why it's been so hard to get striped fabric like this on this side of the world but yay, this makes me happy! I also captured a close-up of the table because I loved the bulbs displayed in those clear vases. Also note the light bulbs (HEMMA) hanging like that. Like.
Pretty new duvet cover set called EMELINA ROS
The TORNO series lamps (below far left and floor lamp right).
VARMLUFT - A fun clever pendant light by Jon Karlsson which folds flat for transportation. $5.
New TRANETORP dining table and SIGURD benches
I know IKEA isn't selling wallpaper (that I'm aware of anyway) but really, they should sell this polka dot version. Maybe it's their fabric? Not sure, but I'm loving it on the walls.
And yet more lovely polka dots. Anyone know the source, please fell free to leave a comment.
And that's about it from a quick glance. Let me know what you think.

LOOOOVE it so far. Hope they have the same/similar new stuff in Canada. They're rebuilding the Ikea near me and it's going to be the largest in Canada - so excited!! Thanks for this preview, it makes me giddy. Also, in the photo of the lighting - the glass square table lamp looks pretty fantastic! x
I love IKEA!!! They have so many great things! Which look fabulous in any house!
swoon! amazing
Other than the pricing - is the US catalogue different than ours? (canada)
Those lace edged planters would be great as pendant lamps!

Lindsay - our IKEA is being rebuilt too - where are you?
HeidiRose - last year the only difference i could find was the front cover - but i know they do carry a few things that we don't have every once in a while, but hope they have most of the things i wrote about!
emc - my thoughts exactly - so pretty but probably a bit too girly for the dudes.
I always get so excited when the new Ikea catalog comes out! I spend hours flipping through the pages for inspiration.
oh those hanging planters and flower pots are lovely and that pricing is crazy good. i try to avoid ikea for these types of items in favor of indie designers (not going to pretend the bulk of our furniture isn't from there tho), but i am super tempted by those two items!
oooh, so excited to see these, thanks for sharing Jan! I'm heading to Ottawa soon, can't wait to go shopping at Ikea while there!
I was going to say I bet there's a way to make those pretty flower pots on your own but, seriously, at that price?? I'm a total DIY-er but sometimes you're better off just buying the thing!
I'm really surprised that Ikea would feature something like the polka dot wallpaper if they didn't sell it...
They have great styling but let's face it- it is calculated to promote sales...
Hopefully something will turn up in store or perhaps it is fabric that they will show us how to adorn our walls with; it looks so fresh and happy~
Lovin' what I see so far Jan ~ thanks for the preview! Can't wait until my new catalogue comes in the mail :-)

Hey thanks for the pictures. Headed to IKEA this weekend over by Cincinnati Ohio! So cannot wait. Need kitchen cabinets but so looking for living room curtains, that will go in a cabin, and heard they have material! So excited to check it out!
Blessings!

I love looking at the Ikea catalogue! And I check out the ones from around the world, too.

Meli- glad i'm not alone, me too - it seems it takes so long to get it here in canada
You are right, those polka dots are so lovely! I especially love them in the last photo of the little girl's room!
there are some really beautiful new peices there! i love the planters and those new lamps. on my to-buy list!
I love, love, love the hanging planters! Are these items available now or do I have to wait? My front porch needs some love!
There is something so very irresistible about IKEA, I just love it, and I scored my self two Ikea sofa's this morning from a charity shop! Just have to see if the Hubby will agree to them.....
Still loving the enameled pitcher, lace planters, and Foto pendant lights! If only they sold the step ladder/side table that they picture next to the bed :)
Ikea is a mainstay at my home. Ikea and the thrift stores, what would I do without them? Thanks for the preview!
Usually I'd be seething with envy (we don't have IKEA in South Africa), but I'm off to the US again soon, so IKEA here I come!! Thanks for the sneak peek.
love those planters!! thanks for sharing. i may have to make a trip over to our nearest IKEA soon!
looks nice. that stripy fabric has been around in IKEA for likecten years ;)
Skurar hanging planter could be turned into a lamp very easy: turn the planter up side down, and drill a hole, on the top of it.
Finally, pull hema cord, thru the hole.
It is so easy, takes only 5 min, and beautiful :)
To remove the stickers from the item is much more difficult....;-)

Ohh, I still get stupidly excited about the new IKEA catalogue every year! Hope mine will be delivered soon!
Oooh I love those plantpots with the lacy style edge - I hope they'll be available in UK stores!
There's some really nice stuff coming up :) Especially the bulb vases and the TORNO series cought my eye.
I do love those lacey planters. Just in time, we're about to start furnishing our place anew after living abroad. I love how Ikea is always so liveable looking - so many of their rooms include toy storage and things like that. I get sick of looking at interiors I know my little guy would destroy in 4 minutes flat. Intrigued by the Billy wall storage units that go over windows or doors, I don't remember seeing that before. I'm going there tomorrow, so will keep an eye out... mmmm, hot dogs and cinnamon buns.
here, this shop in Cologne, Germany, has a couple polka-dotty ones. I didn't see so many on the site, but in the shop. (they have about all the pretty wallpaper in the world.) They're all english fluent so you can email them, they surely can tell you the production firms and lead you to polky wallpaper haven :)

Love it! I bet that is fabric on the walls.. great marketing!
I am very inspired by these images from the new catalog! Especially the children's rooms! I think Ikea gets Childhood like no other company does....Love your blog by the way! I'm a new follower! I think I'm going to find A LOT of wonderful ideas here~
I have been looking for this gold polka dot wallpaper for months. Saw it in an ikea picture on pinterest & I've spent hours on the hunt for it. I desperately want it for my baby girls nursery! I've even looked into custom wallpaper & decorative painting. If you have any insight as to Where to find this wallpaper, please let me know! (I doubt it's fabric because it's too flush to the wall, you don't see any wrinkles etc.) please contact me if you have any info! Thanks!!! (lks0914atgmaildotcom)
