IKEA KONSTRUNDA Art: Affordable Decor for Wedding Venues
Art shouldn't be reserved for galleries or the homes of the rich and famous. That's the philosophy behind IKEA's new limited-edition collection, KONSTRUNDA, which launches on 1st September online and in stores. With prices starting from just £19, this range makes art accessible to everyone—and it's a goldmine for wedding planners and DIY brides looking for unique, budget-friendly decor.
As someone who's always on the lookout for clever, design-forward pieces, I'm already planning how to incorporate these objects into wedding venue decoration ideas. From striking wall hangings to playful sculptures, the KONSTRUNDA collection offers a fresh way to add personality and elegance to any space—without breaking the bank.
Why IKEA KONSTRUNDA Is Perfect for Weddings
IKEA has been on a roll lately with imaginative collections, from the viral PS 2026 range to the compact KOMPISHÄNG storage series. But KONSTRUNDA takes things further by focusing purely on aesthetic value. The collection features 22 objects created by seven different designers and artists, each piece designed to evoke emotion and spark conversation.
'Art should be available for all to enjoy, not a luxury reserved for galleries,' says Karin Gustavsson, the collection's creative leader. 'Art evokes emotion, sparks conversation and helps transform a house into a home.' This philosophy translates beautifully to weddings, where every detail contributes to the atmosphere and memories of the day.
For wedding decorators, these pieces offer a unique way to create focal points that guests will remember. Whether you're styling a ceremony backdrop, a reception table, or a cozy lounge area, KONSTRUNDA objects add an artistic touch that feels intentional and curated.
Top Picks from the Collection
KONSTRUNDA Decoration 28'
£22 at IKEA
This versatile piece is my top pick from the collection. Perfect for displaying trinkets, as an eye-catching key holder, or even placed on a sideboard on its own, it can also serve as a unique table number holder or place card display at wedding receptions. Its minimalist design fits seamlessly into any wedding venue decoration ideas, from rustic barns to modern lofts.
KONSTRUNDA Decoration Multi-Colour
£25 at IKEA
Designed by in-house IKEA designer Akanksha Deo, this object is inspired by toy wooden blocks most of us played with as children. Its playful, colorful design can add a whimsical touch to wedding tablescapes, especially for outdoor or garden weddings. Use it as a centerpiece base or scatter a few across tables for a fun, artistic vibe.
KONSTRUNDA Vase Black/White 28'
£20 at IKEA
Brought to life by Swedish artist Lisa Reiser, this abstract, shadow-like vase is made from mouth-blown glass. It's perfect for holding fresh or fake flowers centerpiece arrangements. The monochrome design makes it easy to pair with any color scheme, and its sculptural form alone can serve as a striking centerpiece.
How to Use KONSTRUNDA in Wedding Decor
1. Create a Wedding Flower Wall Backdrop
One of the hottest trends in wedding decor is the flower wall—a lush, Instagram-worthy backdrop for ceremonies, photo booths, or sweetheart tables. While traditional flower walls use fresh blooms, a more budget-friendly and reusable option is a wedding flower wall backdrop made with faux florals. You can pair IKEA's KONSTRUNDA art objects with silk flowers to create a unique, artistic installation that guests will love.
For example, hang the multi-colour decoration blocks on a wall and weave faux greenery and blooms around them for a playful, textured look. Or use the large 28' decoration as a central anchor and surround it with a cascade of silk flowers. The result is a stunning, personalized backdrop that won't wilt or cost a fortune.
2. Style Tables with Fake Flowers Centerpiece
A fake flowers centerpiece is a smart choice for weddings—they're affordable, long-lasting, and can be prepared well in advance. The KONSTRUNDA vase is perfect for this. Fill it with high-quality silk flowers in your wedding colors, and you have an elegant centerpiece that requires no maintenance. Mix in the multi-colour blocks for a playful touch, or keep it minimalist with just the vase and a few stems.
For a cohesive look, use the same vase style on all tables but vary the flower types or colors. This creates visual interest while maintaining a unified theme. You can also repurpose the vases as favors for guests to take home after the celebration.
3. Incorporate Art into Venue Styling
Beyond centerpieces and backdrops, KONSTRUNDA pieces can be used throughout your venue. Use the 28' decoration as a unique sign-in station prop, or place it on the gift table. The multi-colour blocks can be used as place card holders or to mark table numbers. Even the rugs and cushions from the collection can be used in lounge areas or ceremony seating to add comfort and style.
For wedding venue decoration ideas, think beyond the obvious. Art objects can be placed on mantels, shelves, or windowsills to add character. They can also be used to create a gallery wall in the entryway or along the aisle. The key is to let these pieces shine without overwhelming the space.
Practical Tips for DIY Brides and Planners
- **Start early**: Because the collection is limited edition, pieces may sell out quickly. Order as soon as they launch to secure your favorites.
- **Mix and match**: Don't be afraid to combine KONSTRUNDA items with other decor elements like fairy lights, candles, or fabric draping.
- **Think beyond the wedding day**: These art objects are versatile enough to be used in your home after the wedding, making them a worthwhile investment.
- **Consider rentals**: If you're a wedding planner, consider purchasing these pieces to rent out for multiple events. They're durable and stylish, perfect for repeat use.
- **Customize**: While the pieces are beautiful as-is, you can personalize them with paint, decoupage, or by adding small embellishments to match your theme.
