Looking for a summer rental refresh? Check out our picks from the Swedish brands summer catalog, and keep in mind our tip about Ikea shopping: only buy products that don’t scratch, stain, or dent easily. And buy anything crazy affordable (wine glasses, pillows, etc) in bulk.

A six pack of these whimsical SOMMAR flower glasses is only $7.99, so grab a dozen (or more) for your cheery vacation cottage.

Just. Cool.

In a nod to Mariimeko, this Scandinavian-designed tablecloth is the perfect way to cover up a “meh” table and create a bright, clean dining space.

Solar outdoor lights? GENIUS!

How fun is this “come in and play” rug? Lay it out in a high traffic area (like an entrance or mud room) to keep the dust down and the guests smiling.
