So far, two speakers have been worked out together with Sonos. A loudspeaker comes as a "classic" speaker and can be hung or set up. Due to its fabric cover, it looks less than a loudspeaker. So it certainly fits well in some apartments. In addition to the Symfonisk loudspeaker, there is also the Symfonisk table lamp - a loudspeaker packed in a floor lamp. Corresponding accessories for the loudspeaker, such as brackets, are already online and to be found here.

• Symphonic speakers (99 euros) – black/White
• Symphonic table lamp (179 euros) – black/White

Both products are not yet available online. However, collection is possible in selected IKEA stores.

IKEA roller blinds

You will also start with smart roller blinds. Many have already equipped almost their entire house with Smart Home - only "entry-level solutions" for roller blinds have so far been a gap on the market. IKEA is now filling this with the "Fyrtur" and "Kadrilj" models. The first is a real blackout blind and the second is more against direct sunlight. That's why the first model costs 20 euros more. The battery-operated roller blinds with remote control and app control are to be launched on the market from August. Control with Alexa should also be possible.

• IKEA Fyrtur (149 euros)
• IKEA Kadrilj (129 euros)
