ÄRTBUSKE – A Cactus-Inspired Conversation Piece

One of the most striking designs is ÄRTBUSKE, a green watering can created by designer Bruno Adrien Aguirre. Its bold, sculptural form is inspired by the cactus, and it's more than just a watering can – it also works beautifully as a decorative vase. It's playful, modern, and an unexpected visual highlight in any room.

Retro-Style Green Watering Can – Classic and Charming

If you prefer something more traditional, IKEA also offers a retro-style pale green watering can with two handles. Its rounded, vintage shape and soft color make it ideal for those who love a nostalgic or country-inspired garden aesthetic.

VATTENKRASSE – Sleek, Modern, and Elegant

For a more contemporary option, VATTENKRASSE is a true standout. Available in navy blue, grey, and off-white, it features a long spout for precise watering and a refined golden metal handle. Compact and stylish, it looks great in modern homes and is functional enough for everyday plant care.

SALLADSKÅL – Minimalist with a Natural Touch

A more neutral and clean option is SALLADSKÅL, a beige watering can with light wooden handles. Its clean lines and soft color palette make it a natural addition to Scandinavian interiors. Designed for both aesthetics and practicality, it's perfect for indoor plant lovers who appreciate subtle design.

SOCKERÄRT – Decorative Jug or Vase? Both.

Also worth highlighting is SOCKERÄRT, a cream-colored ceramic jug that blends seamlessly into both rustic and modern settings. IKEA lists it as both a jug and a vase, making it incredibly versatile. Whether you fill it with fresh flowers, dried branches, or leave it empty on a shelf, SOCKERÄRT adds timeless charm and character to your space.

When you step inside IKEA's wardrobe displays, one thing becomes clear: the PAX system is designed to give you structure and order. As you can see in this example, every shelf, drawer and rail has its place – making it easy to imagine how it would look in your own home.

When it comes to modern kitchen design, balance is everything. Clean lines, functional storage, and clever material choices all play their part. This IKEA HAVSTORP kitchen, photographed by Mauritz in Berlin, Germany, is a perfect example of how simplicity can meet warmth to create a space that feels both sleek and inviting.
