Ikea news: the 20% off sale is on – but there's a catch

Is it just us, or does the idea of saving 20% at Ikea make your heart beat a little faster? You're right, we've probably spent too much time at home over recent months... although once you've checked out some of the items in the sale, you'll probably (maybe) understand what we're talking about. 

Whether you're on a mission to maximise the potential of your teeny tiny back garden – or perhaps even your balcony – want to create the perfect space to unwind in a larger outside space, or foresee a summer of al fresco dinner parties and want to make sure you're prepare, Ikea's 20% sale is the place to start. 

But, there's a catch. You need to have one of Ikea's Family Cards to benefit from some of the amazing offers we'll be talking about below. Good news is it's free and easy to sign up, so you'll be able to start making savings straight away. Rejoice.
