There has been a sleepover at IKEA before, but this time around, the company is going about promoting the event in a new way. This year, IKEA has made a posting on Airbnb, teasing three rooms that families in Sydney can stay at. Although there are no pictures of the IKEA showrooms themselves, the three options are described as 'Modern Elegance,' 'Rustic Charm' and 'Inner City Living.'
However, just as usual on Airbnb, not everyone gets the chance to stay at once. People who are interested at staying at IKEA overnight must use Airbnb's feature to "contact host" and describe why they would be a good candidate to sleepover at IKEA. This unique promotion is probably best for those who are early risers, since IKEA notes "you will be woken up in the morning in a remarkable way."
