Perfect for forward thinking interior loving urbanites, Ikea has grasped the current trend to make homes smarter, by releasing a collection that includes core pieces such as bedside tables, side tables and work lamps with built in wireless charging spots. If you do not want to replace your precious avant-garde pieces with Ikea, no problem, you can instead purchase a selection of pads that can be added to your existing home furniture.

The range is supported by the Qi standard, which means that it is compatible with an iPhone and a selection of Samsung’s handsets. Starting from £30 RRP, Ikea’s advanced furniture will be available in the UK and US stores from mid-April 2015. Convenient, accessible and affordable, now everyone can ‘keep up with the Jones’ in a future smart home that complements modern life.
