Every time you rinse salad, fill a kettle or wash dishes, you're helping with something essential—saving water. How? Thanks to the small aerator in every IKEA kitchen mixer tap that reduces water flow while maintaining pressure. We didn't invent aerators, but think they are an important example of how we can work together to save water for everyone's benefit.
Four years ago, we started a project to improve our taps and knew we needed more expertise. That's when we hired Antony Smith, an engineer from England who has worked with taps for more than a decade. Now he lives in Sweden and is part of a small team that develops taps and showers for IKEA. Like every new employee, Antony read founder Ingvar Kamprad's Testament of a Furniture Dealer. In it, Ingvar writes 'wasting resources is a mortal sin at IKEA.' This helped Antony understand how much we care about water and how his job is just one step in our larger approach to sustainability.
"When I got to IKEA, I realised we practise what we preach about sustainability," Antony says. "It's a refreshing experience, but it makes our job really difficult because we genuinely have to deliver on sustainability with each product." So why is conserving water so important? Because water is one of our planet's most precious resources. Earth may be covered in a lot of water, but very little of it is drinkable and even less is accessible. No organism can survive without it, and no new water is created. It's constantly recycled, but our freshwater supply is overused; not evenly distributed; and impacted by pollution, contamination and climate change.
IKEA values the quality and quantity of water so much that we are committed to being water positive by 2020. One aspect is finding simple ways for people to conserve water. Aerators are a step we took long before our water commitment, but Antony and his team are working hard on new water saving taps using sensors or spray technology. Behind the scenes, there's more to our commitment than what we develop for kitchens. Our initiative also includes exploring ways to improve water efficiency across the whole product process, whether it’s at our suppliers, distribution centres or stores. It can mean providing factory workers and their families with fresh drinking water, ensuring all factory water is cleaned before release, reducing water usage in textile production or using rainwater to flush toilets in stores. "We make things hard on ourselves for good reasons, Antony says."
See why the aerator in your kitchen mixer tap is a small part of our bigger effort to conserve water? "Some people who live where you can just turn on your tap and get water may not really think about saving water; it's taken for granted," Antony says. But he and his team think about water at every step. It's part of creating a positive impact on people and the planet. We think every water-saving action adds up and thank you for helping with your kitchen mixer tap!
Think you have seen everything? Think again. After the challenge in this kitchen, even the smallest kitchens will seem like a definition of "spacious". Even though the overall area of 8 square meters may seem like a good enough start, this kitchen is super narrow, making it nearly impossible to move freely even for one person. Cooking together with somebody is an unattainable dream.
When it comes to kitchens, we’re all different. We have different dreams, different needs and different preconditions. So, to meet this diversity, what could be better than a flexible METOD kitchen system? Whatever the size of your home or family, with cabinets in different sizes, drawers and interior organizers made to match, you can turn the kitchen of your dreams into the kitchen in your home.
Our survey shows that the main driver for a green life at home is saving. People want to save precious planet resources, but why not double the motivation and start saving money as well? We are here to help you reduce your energy consumption and expenses without making any sacrifices on comfort.
A lot of things go into a kitchen – food, energy, water – and a lot of waste comes out. However, a few smart choices will minimise traffic at both ends – and help you be kinder to both your wallet and the planet.
Step into our vision of a household spanning three generations. Designed for a big family with an even bigger love of food and sharing experiences, this home also allows for privacy thanks to smart organisation, functional choices and shared spaces that make life run smoothly.
While social time is a big part of what makes a family a unit, all members of a multigenerational household need privacy, too. It isn’t straightforward with shared bedrooms, but clever use of storage, home furnishing solutions and room dividers help balance out together time with much-needed solo endeavours.
Busy homes get dusty, and the mopping and scrubbing can feel like a never-ending task. To make life easier, find solutions to keep home spic-and-span in a systematic and organised way.
Personalising the style of your kitchen can be done with great results in lots of smart and easy ways. You can actually achieve quite a makeover without having to do any major changes or much effort at all. Here are three styling suggestions to get your own ideas going.
The VOXTORP series in high-gloss white has smooth, glossy doors with integrated handles. Ideal for an open kitchen, the clean lines and subtle handleless doors will bring a contemporary feel to your home.
The RINGHULT series in light grey has clean, straight lines and a glossy surface, which is durable and easy to keep clean. This kitchen is ideal if you are looking for a grey gloss kitchen with a contemporary look and feel.
