IKEA's Latest Collection Means Your Pet's Decor Can Be Just as Stylish as Yours

IKEA has been introducing endless innovative furniture collections this year, from the launch of their tasteful home gym collection to the thoughtfully-designed office furniture line.

Now, it’s time for IKEA to launch a product range that isn’t for humans at all—the UTSÅDD collection is IKEA’s latest pet furniture collection.

The collection remains affordable as ever—one of IKEA’s biggest goals for this year—with prices ranging from just $2 to $70. 

IKEA’s pet furniture isn’t just about looking good, either. The retailer actually consulted veterinarians, product experts, and (of course) the population with the most expertise—a panel of cats and dogs.

IKEA also took into consideration the needs of pet owners, so all of their pet products are durable, easy to clean, and are designed to blend in with the rest of your home decor.

“At IKEA, we believe that pets are family," said Julia Rosenberg, Product Design Developer at IKEA of Sweden AB, in a press release. "Our goal was to develop a collection of products that our cats and dogs love and that their human parents can feel good about and truly enjoy having as part of their home."

As with all of IKEA’s collections, thoughtfulness and practicality are key for the UTSÅDD collection. The theme of the product line focuses on four of the most common activities for cats and dogs: eating, sleeping, playing, and hiding. This means that each piece in the UTSÅDD collection revolves around one (or more) of these activities.

For eating, IKEA developed ceramic pet food bowls that are a little heavier than regular food bowls so they’re less likely to slide around, and they’re even dishwasher-safe. The anti-slip placemat means that pet owners will have less time spent on cleaning up messes from spills. 

One of the trickiest things about pet beds is sourcing items for your pet that don’t clash with the rest of your home decor. IKEA’s pet blankets and beds are designed to blend in so your pet can stay comfortable (and stylish) in any space.

Even better, these items are water-repellent and machine-washable, so there’s pretty much no better way to ensure cleanup stays simple. 

The UTSÅDD pet toys are all made from natural rubber and fabric, so your pet can chew to their heart’s content. They’re durable, so you won’t have to constantly be buying replacements, but still soft on teeth and gums.

IKEA even offers a few options for treat puzzle toys, so dogs can enjoy a little reward for keeping themselves entertained.

As for the hiding part of the collection, there are both tent and house options, making it easy to add cat-friendly abodes to your existing furniture. There are even pieces that are designed to fit neatly into the IKEA KALLAX shelving unit. What better way to incorporate pet furniture into your home than that?

IKEA also used their panel of vets and pet experts to ensure that every product in the UTSÅDD range is completely safe—for both you and your pets. Safety tests are regularly conducted on all UTSÅDD products, and each piece comes with a tag that specifies additional safety instructions.

IKEA notes that it’s important for pet owners to familiarize themselves with these tags, as they’re there to let owners know if a toy needs to be thrown out after it breaks, or if the owner should be present while their pet uses a particular item. 

Ready to get your paws on the UTSÅDD collection? If your pets could read, they certainly would be. The collection launches April 1, and will be available to shop in IKEA stores and on IKEA’s official website.
