Coastalcore lovers – get ready to fall in love with this brand new laid-back collection of surfer homeware from IKEA.  

This summer has been all about coastalcore. Whether you’ve been embodying the Coastal Grandmother and swanning around in loose linens and filling your home with rattan and shades of beige, or you’ve hopped about the crustaceancore trend and fallen in love with homeware covered in sea critters, coastalcore is officially the trend of the season. 

Now, there’s a brand new offshoot of coastalcore to try — introducing surfercore. And with IKEA’s new surf home collection, it’s never been easier to bring a beachy feel into your home — minus the sand. 

The laid-back surfer-inspired collection, designed in collaboration with pro surfers Rob Machado and Kassia Meador, is both soothing and stylish, leaving you feeling like you’re gazing out at the open blue ocean. Plus, these sustainable pieces are designed with recycled materials, so they won’t just remind you of the natural world, they’ll contribute to its protection, too. 

“The IKEA design approach plus Rob and Kassia’s vast experience in living as surfers make for a collection that is not only sustainable, but also functional,” explains IKEA designer Wiebke Braasch. 

Ready to hit the waves? Here are a few of our favourite pieces from this dreamy, beachy collection.

Want to try your hand at surfing? Try a handplane. This mini surfboard will help you glide across the waves without the need of more serious equipment. Plus, it looks great as a piece of decor, too.

“If you live far from the ocean, we still hope that the board finds a place in your home with its soft and decorative shapes – and awaken a dream of one day experiencing the magical feeling of gliding weightlessly over the water,” say designers Mikael Axelsson and Rob Machado.
