Work is often referred to as a second home, and our colleagues feel like a second family. That’s why it's only fitting that our workspaces get into the holiday spirit as well! This year, over 400 participants decided to take part in the “Light up your workplace with IKEA” project for a chance to win a free workspace makeover with our business department. After much excitement, we chose two lucky ones to bring some festive magic to their spaces with the help of our B2B interior designers and STRÅLA stars.

Powering up the holiday spirit at Enefit
As the days grow shorter and the winter chill sets in, we wanted to bring some festive light to the season. The Enefit building, with its large windows, provided the perfect opportunity for us to spread Christmas cheer to nearby companies and daily commuters. Our interior designer created a simple yet eye-catching pattern on the windows, transforming the space into a merry display of STRÅLA stars that’s hard to miss. Enefit has always embraced the holiday spirit, with employees decorating the lobby, adding festive touches to the floors, and enjoying different holiday activities together. This year, we're excited to join in and made the building even more welcoming for all.STRÅLA series
“We received over 400 applications for our project. That shows Estonian companies and institutions truly care about the well-being of their employees and customers, and that people want to spread the holiday spirit not only at home but also in the workplace. Choosing from so many wonderful entries was no easy task. After all, I wish everyone could have their very own magical stars! I’m sure you know the feeling of walking down the street and seeing a Christmas star shining through a window – it instantly brings a warm, cosy feeling.”

Bringing festive cheer to all at Tartu University Hospital
Everyone deserves a little holiday warmth, no matter where they are. To help lift the spirits and bring the magic of the festivities to those who need it most, we decided to bring the soft glow of 80 STRÅLA stars to Tartu University Hospital. Not only did we decorate the hospital's windows, but we also transformed the front desk into a festive corner, creating a warm atmosphere for both visitors and healthcare workers, and filling the space with a bit of winter magic for everyone who walks through the doors.Christmas decorations and textiles
“During the darkest time of the year, we all long for more light and warmth. Unfortunately, some of us have to spend the holidays in a hospital. We're grateful that Tartu University Hospital chose to participate in our project, allowing us to make their spaces feel a little bit more like home. We believe the soft glow of STRÅLA stars on the windows will offer a sense of hope and help make it easier to get through a time when there’s not much sunlight to begin with.”

Spreading light indoors and out
At Christmas in Sweden, we have a tradition of plucking the stars from the night sky and placing them in our window. Whether you prefer one star, or an entire galaxy, or even snowflakes, LED string lights and table lamps, the STRÅLA decorative lighting offers a range of sizes and styles so everyone can make their home cosy, merry and bright.Seasonal lighting
