Ikea will introduce more than 20 new smart home products in January 2026, all built to work with the Matter the universal smart home standard. Matter is designed to enable devices from different brands to work together seamlessly in concert with a smart home hub such as Ikea’s Dirigera. The products will offer high-quality connected home solutions at prices that make smart technology more accessible, as well as working within any smart home system the consumer prefers.
“Until now, smart home technology hasn’t been easy enough to use for most people — or affordable enough for many to consider,” said David Granath, Range Manager at Ikea of Sweden in a statement. “Bringing Matter to our products means we are taking a big step in the right direction, offering compatibility across brands and lowering the threshold for people to get started.”
Making Speakers Part of the Décor
Before the smart home products come on the market, Ikea will be moving further into home audio devices with the introduction of two new Bluetooth speakers. Launching this month with a design that mimics that of an old radio, Ikea’s new Nattbad Bluetooth speaker comes in yellow, pink and black, offering a low-price entry point into home sound.
Ikea will follow this debut with Blomprakt in October, a practical table speaker in beige, black and blue that combines sound with atmospheric lighting. Both speakers are designed to work out of the box and include features such as easy multi-speaker setup and Spotify Tap, requiring no extensive tech knowledge to get started.

In January 2026, Ikea also will launch a new design collaboration with Swedish designer Tekla Severin, commonly referred to as “Teklan,” known for her expressive use of color. The partnership will explore how electronics can feel more like part of the home by combining technology with personal style.
