20.08.2025

If you've ever dreamed of having your own greenhouse but thought you lacked the space, IKEA has a clever solution that might just change your mind. The ASPAREN Greenhouse combines practicality with a sleek, rounded design, making it an eye-catching yet functional addition to any garden, balcony, or terrace.

I recently explored the ASPAREN Greenhouse in the IKEA Tempelhof store in Berlin, where I photographed the setup you see in this article. All images are my own, captured directly in the showroom for real-life inspiration.

A Modern Take on the Classic Greenhouse

Unlike traditional greenhouses, which can be bulky and require permanent installation, the ASPAREN Greenhouse is designed to be lightweight, portable, and versatile. Its rounded silhouette and transparent white cover give it a contemporary look, while still providing the sheltered environment plants need to thrive.

With dimensions of 123×190×190 cm, it's spacious enough to house a variety of plants, herbs, or seedlings, yet compact enough to fit in smaller outdoor spaces.

Designed for Urban Gardeners

One of the standout features of ASPAREN is how well it caters to urban living. Whether you have a backyard, a rooftop terrace, or just a small patio, this greenhouse lets you extend your growing season and protect delicate plants from wind, rain, and sudden temperature drops.

Its zippered front opening makes it easy to step inside and tend to your plants, while the steel frame ensures stability. Inside, you can place wire shelving or plant stands to maximize vertical space for pots and trays.

Benefits of Choosing ASPAREN

  • Protection for plants: Shield your seedlings and herbs from pests and unpredictable weather.

  • Extended growing season: Start planting earlier in spring and keep harvesting later into autumn.

  • Space-efficient design: Ideal for small outdoor areas.

  • Affordable gardening: Compared to traditional glass greenhouses, ASPAREN offers excellent value while maintaining durability.

  • Stylish silhouette: Its rounded form adds a decorative touch, blending seamlessly with modern outdoor furniture.

Who Is It For?

The ASPAREN Greenhouse is perfect for:

  • Beginners who want to experiment with gardening on a smaller scale.

  • Urban dwellers with limited outdoor space.

  • Herb enthusiasts who want fresh basil, mint, or parsley all year round.

  • Eco-conscious families looking to grow more of their own food at home.
