As the long and dark winter season approaches, it makes us all miss the light, cosiness and warmth. That is why, in anticipation of this Christmas, we gave a very special gift to one of the apartment buildings in Tallinn. As a result of our initiative, the brightest star of Tallinn this winter is a 1950s apartment building with spectacular architecture and fascinating history at the intersection of Tartu Road and Liivalaia Street. The windows of the building were decorated in fairytale-like starlight by IKEA Interior Designer Eliise in close co-operation with all the residents.
The beauty of STRÅLA both inside and outside
In the Scandinavian countries, it is a tradition to decorate the windows with Christmas stars during the holidays. And we wished that the people of Estonia could also enjoy beautiful starlight during the darkest season. So this winter we decorated the apartment building at Tartu Road 24 with a warm glow of 150 STRÅLA stars. They are beautiful to look at and create a blissful holiday spirit for the residents of the house, the four-legged family members as well as the passers-by.

Creating a holiday spirit at home
A lovely lace-patterned and star-shaped STRÅLA lampshade fills your winter evenings with warm light. And according to our Interior Designer Eliise, they are perfect for decorating every home. STRÅLA lampshades can be hung or attached to a lamp base and used to decorate, for example, shelves or walls in addition to windows.
Beautiful STRÅLA lights up with the help of a sustainable LED bulb that does not heat and consumes up to 85% less electricity compared to incandescent lamps. Therefore, the amount of electricity required to illuminate the star is modest, even if you used the light around the clock.

The charm lies in the details
As mentioned, windows are not the only place that could be decorated with light. According to IKEA Interior Designer, a well-decorated dining table on which you can use more special things throughout the winter period is also an eye-catcher. “The charm lies in the details, such as slightly more special napkins and a napkin holder. The beautiful elegance can also be created by using SÄLLSKAPLIG wineglasses and carafe with a unique pattern. And the GLATTIS tray adds some golden glow,” she explained. She also added that it is best to use Christmas decorations mainly in one place at home and create a nifty focal point.
"The kitchen is undoubtedly the heart of the many homes, and we can definitely add a lovely lighting solution to the dining table. You will get a beautiful result if you place a light chain in a vase, bowl or on the ARV BRÖLLOP cake stand, as we did in Anastassia's family home. By using that simple trick, you will most certainly get a unique result," suggested the Interior Designer.

Christmas is a time of surprises
Anastassia says Christmas period is always something positive and joyful for her family. “We always decorate our home to look festive – a 3 meter Christmas tree, lights and other decorations are a must. I have always loved how window lights create both cosy feeling inside and festive look from the outside. Christmas is a time of surprises – the new lighting stars decorations will bring joy, warmth and coziness during dark winter months not only to our homes, but for passers-by of this house too,” she said.

Time to emphasize the beauty of your balcony
The winter holiday period creates an excellent opportunity to emphasize the beauty of your home outside as well. If you have a balcony, you have the perfect opportunity to decorate it with garlands and lights. We recommend intertwining the SMYCKA spruce garlands and light chains that warm the soul in the winter darkness and greet those who come home from afar. Be sure, however, that you use an appropriate light chain that is meant for the outside conditions.
