Imagine the instructions required for a purchase like this?

Furniture giant Ikea has turned their focus to something small for a change, and are now in the business of making tiny houses.

And luckily for triggered millennial furniture owners everywhere, you won’t need that disposable allen key either. It’s already built.

The Swedish furniture company is experimenting with prefab houses through their Ikea Tiny Home Project, designing a 17.5 sqm abode on a flatbed trailer.

The tiny house endeavour was a partnership with Vox Creative and RV builder Escape.

Though Ikea's design was a one-off, interested parties can still customise Escape’s Boho XL Wide model, which starts at $60,660.

That’s about 368 POÄNG chairs, for anyone who’s trying to do the maths in Ikea dollars.

Features in the Ikea house — which kept an eye toward neutral tones, sustainability and that certain European touch — include kitchen cupboards made from recycled plastic bottles, built-in furniture and a collapsible desk.

The prototype was designed to be inspiration for tiny home aficionados. Escape’s XL has room for a queen-size bed, as well as living, kitchen and bathroom spaces, according to Escape’s promotional video.

“How I started was really listing out all the needs for the space,” Ikea senior interior design leader Abbey Stark says.

“Like, how do you design around a wheel well and the mechanics of the home? I wanted to source renewable, reusable, and recycled materials when possible to make the space functional as well as beautiful.”

Tiny homes are all the rage among eco-conscious minimalist types, and have even managed to stay en vogue through COVID-19 lockdown, when the last thing anyone wants is a smaller space.

But with perks including the trailer bed, compostable toilet and solar panels, Ikea's tiny house has the work-from-anywhere appeal that many have sought during the pandemic.

Right now there is no word if the homes will be shipped to Australia, but the appetite for tiny houses in the country would mean an Ikea expansion won’t be out of the question.
