Ikea's limited edition Tesammans collection is here to bring joy and colour to every corner of your home.

In collaboration with Dutch design duo Raw Color, Tesammans (Swedish for 'together') is a range of colourful and affordable homeware. A lavender carafe is the perfect pastel shade for spring, a ridged side table with a removable lid offers hidden storage, while a three-tier lampshade will give a new dimension to your lighting.

House Beautiful were invited to see the collection first-hand, unveiled during Paris Fashion Week at the Ikea+ exhibition at Rue de Lappe in the Bastille district.

With Tesammans, designers Daniera ter Haar and Christoph Brach of Raw Color hope to make decorating fun and less 'serious'. The expressive collection of surprising colour combinations and playful pattern is certainly one that aligns with the feel-good dopamine decor trend.

'A lot of interiors are often quite serious. It's very formal, white, black...so sometimes that lightness or playfulness is lost,' Christoph tells us. 'Children's rooms are very rich in the sense of colour, and sometimes I think, why are we always so strict as adults when it comes to colour? So I think with this collection that's something we hope to bring to people's homes.'

It's also one of Ikea's most colourful collections to date with a palette of 15 shades. 'Colour is never alone,' says Christoph. 'There are combinations or tones that were a personal preference, but we also tried to surprise ourselves by combining things that are not common for most people, or even for us. So as with life, not everything should be set in stone, so we're encouraging people to try new things.'

Tesammans explores the transformative nature of colour. There are two cushion covers (£5) in this collection, and a knitted throw with graphic lines and solid colours that seemingly blend into a single hue from a distance, but up close, separate colours emerge.

The flatwoven rug (£199) is ideal for zoning, especially in an open-plan space. But one of our favourites is the side table (£50) with a blush pink lid and red ridged base: take off the lid and you have the perfect storage compartment.

Sturdy and sleek, this storage unit on wheels (£85) offers flexibility in the home. With a vibrant palette and graphic lines, this colourful unit would be ideal in a home office to store books and notepads.

'There are a lot of different grids, density and sizes here, and although it's a solid object, it creates a nice translucency,' says Christoph.

The lampshades in the collection are available in two sizes to either hang or place on a table. With a stacked design, there are three layers that transition from dark to lighter tones, creating different reflections as they catch light.

Again, seen here as a table lamp, it's perfect for a reading nook or as a bedside lamp. 'It should bring warmth to somebody's home,' says Christoph.

Please note, you need to buy the lamp base (£9) separately.
