This weekend, wrapping up our Apartment Life issue, we’re still discovering small-space tricks and budget hacks—many of which, yes, involve Ikea. Plus, a London installation we’d love to attend, a new New York showroom, and more. Take note:

• The 8 Ikea storage pieces designers love.
• Now open at the New York Design Center.
• New wallpaper by a UK-based botanical artist..
• Attention Londoners: starting in March, head to The New Craftsmen for an installation by glassmaker Jochen Holz and floral designer to the Royals Philippa Craddock.
• The return of the art poster, now at MoMA. (See also: a few of our favorites.)
• Opening soon at the Julie Saul Gallery: the French author Colette, as captured by legendary photographers.
• An Ikea curtain that also purifies the air.
• And, their new collection for summer 2019.
• And, compostable pendant lights by a Remodelista favorite.
