Furniture, we knew, but homes?  IKEA, the international home products giant, has recently announced that it’s now building eco-friendly apartments, replete with flat pack furniture and other economically-priced home accessories.  The concept behind BoKlok (literally, “live smart” in Swedish) was created based on customers’ top priorities: safety, spaciousness, and accessibility to green spaces.  Therefore, all BoKlok homes have been designed with an open layout, high ceilings, and large windows to give homes a modern, spacious look and feel.  Like all things IKEA-efficient, they can be built in 16 weeks and are currently priced at $260,000.  The first block is scheduled to be completed in England very soon.  If they’re a hit, they may very well be the next big export to the U.S.  If you love all things IKEA and dream about buying an eco-friendly house, stay tuned for more BoKlok news.
