The use of these products can keep the house organized and spacious.
Post the COVID-19 Pandemic, the home has centralized attention and people are continuously looking to utilize the living spaces. IKEA products bring a solution to these problems.
IKEA is a world-known brand also gaining even more attention after the famous K-Pop group BTS used its products in one of its BTS RUN episodes.

IKEA also entertains attention from the group and reverts back by showcasing the picture and fanart of one of the BTS members in its catalog.
Amitabh Pande, Marketing Head of IKEA, India says “all the more, our homes have become our epicenter. The home is the starting point of who we are, what we do, and where we are leading in our lives. ‘Home is where it all begins’ campaign speaks to one of the most important changes in the living situation of a family – the arrival of a new baby, and that too during the time of the pandemic, when both parents are working from home, and there is very little assistance, the only way is for everyone to pitch in.”
