IKEA continues to innovate in the realm of affordable home technology with the introduction of its newest Bluetooth speakers, the NATTBAD and BLOMPRAKT. These speakers perfectly capture IKEA’s mission to blend smart technology with stylish, accessible design, making them ideal for anyone seeking both great sound and a home-friendly aesthetic.
The NATTBAD and BLOMPRAKT both embrace IKEA’s hallmark Scandinavian simplicity. The NATTBAD features soft, rounded edges and a matte finish, available in neutral hues like white and light grey, ensuring it complements most interiors. BLOMPRAKT stands out with a touch of whimsy, offering subtle patterns and a compact, cube-like shape. Each model is small enough to fit on a shelf or table and light enough to be easily portable.

Functionality is front and center with these new speakers. Both models use Bluetooth 5.3, providing a strong, seamless connection with your phone, tablet, or laptop. IKEA has also made everyday listening more intuitive by incorporating touch-sensitive controls on the top panel, allowing users to adjust volume or skip tracks with a gentle tap. Perhaps the most exciting new feature is the addition of a dedicated Spotify Tap button. This innovative button allows users to launch Spotify and resume playback instantly, making it easier than ever to get your music going with a single touch. It’s a small but meaningful addition, especially for Spotify’s millions of users, and reflects IKEA’s pivot away from Sonos integration in favor of a more accessible, music-first experience.
Both speakers support True Wireless Stereo (TWS) pairing, so you can connect two NATTBAD or two BLOMPRAKT units for immersive stereo sound. The audio quality impresses with crisp highs and a surprisingly robust bass, all delivered from compact enclosures. This makes them well-suited for anything from casual background music to small gatherings. Sustainability remains a priority for IKEA, and these speakers are no exception. At least 50% of the plastic used in their construction is recycled, echoing the company’s ongoing commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. The packaging is also designed to be minimal and eco-friendly, further supporting IKEA’s global sustainability goals. Battery life is generous, with up to 12 hours of playback on a single charge—ample for daily use or entertaining. Charging is via USB-C, so you can use the same cable as many of your other devices.
Another highlight is their compatibility with IKEA’s broader smart home ecosystem. The NATTBAD and BLOMPRAKT integrate easily with other IKEA smart products, making them a natural addition if you already use IKEA’s smart lighting or multi-room audio options. With the NATTBAD and BLOMPRAKT, IKEA is setting a new standard for home audio that’s beautifully designed, easy to use, and environmentally conscious. The addition of the Spotify Tap button and focus on intuitive features make these speakers especially attractive for music lovers who want a seamless, stylish, and affordable listening experience.
