IKEA Okayama is designed to be highly accessible for customers both within and outside the prefecture. Experienced co-workers will welcome guests to help make their lives at home more comfortable and sustainable across all generations and lifestyles.
IKEA products are developed in Älmhult, Sweden, based on the unique 'Democratic Design' philosophy (Great Design, Function, Quality, Sustainability, and Low Price). IKEA Okayama will feature a curated selection of approximately 950 items from IKEA's global range of 9,500 products. Of these, about 850 items will be available for same-day purchase and pickup. Customers can also order and arrange delivery for products not stocked in-store.
In addition to furniture and home accessories, the store will offer Swedish food products to enjoy at home. The product lineup will change periodically to meet seasonal needs and new launches.
The store features area-specific displays such as Kitchen/Dining, Living Room, Bedroom, and Kids/Baby rooms, along with a Swedish Food Market. These areas provide playful inspiration and home living solutions characteristic of IKEA. Room sets tailored specifically for families living in Okayama are also on display to help customers visualize their own home improvements.
