When I think of IKEA, flat pack furniture and an abundance of cheap candles are usually the first things that pop into my mind. Well, and the delicious meatballs that I absolutely and certainly donothave every time I visit. Smart home products are usually the last thing I consider…until recently.
AfterIKEA recently upgraded their app and smart home app, I was unaware of all the smart home products IKEA manufactured. I knew that they had a couple of smart bulbs (some of which feature in ourbest smart bulbguide), but I didn’t know that their range covered everything from air purifiers to motion sensors. It really blew my mind.
I’m currently in the process of building up my smart home, and I can confirm that I’ve well and truly had my eyes opened up to the IKEA products. I therefore wanted to share with you my top picks, and the smart home devices I’ll be purchasing this month.
Before you find out, make sure you check out our guides to starting a smart home under a certain price point. So far, we’ve coveredhow to build a smart home under £50,under £100,under £200andunder £300.

It’s also a great way to get those tunes blasting whilst charging (and storing) your phone at the same time - you can’t really go wrong.

TheSTARKVIND Air Purifier Tableis both a side table that looks great, and an air purifier that improves the indoor air quality. Just like the SYMFONISK Speaker Lamp, it can be controlled in the IKEA Home smart app, allowing users to adjust fan speed, check current air quality status, set timers and create scenes with other smart home products.
The air purifier can be set to auto mode, which means that it automatically detects the particles (PM2.5) in the air and then adjusts the fan speed, so you can think about other things whilst it does the job. It’s also extremely quiet on the lower fan speeds, perfect for sleeping with. If connected to the IKEA Home smart app, users can also turn the LED light off on the unit when going to sleep.
