A home that feels good isn’t just about beautiful, functional furniture, it’s also about being tidy, a challenge many households face when kids are in the mix—and to help families create a feel-good environment, IKEA UK launched the Tidy Up Tune. According to research from IKEA, nearly half of UK parents (45%) find the morning rush and getting out of the door is the most challenging aspect of the back-to-school routine, and 78% reported that they would be open to using a dedicated song to make tidying more engaging.
This playful, empowering solution to the morning rush was made with the songwriters behind the popular Hey Duggee series, and it turns chores into an adventure.
