    They would call it “Værmis” to sound more Scandinavian even though swedish uses ä and ö

      IKEA would never do that. We would NEVER use Danish letters

      Cheap IKEA rugs are actually named after Danish places.

        They are? Examples, please! I wanna know if it’s any of the places here that deserve it! 😁

          Well, upon researching it I seems to have been half incorrect. It seems most IKEA rugs are named after Danish places. So I was incorrect in saying it’s the cheap ones. Looking at the website, however, there are a few without danish place names. But yes, the historical theme is that we are meant to walk on the danish.

        Maybe it’s a Germany thing because we have Ä and Ö too, but IKEA in Germany has products like “Bjørn”
