Ikea nicely contrasts its colorful design sense with the drabness of the world at large in these print ads from TBWA in Portugal. Apparently, going with Ikea means you get a balcony in buildings that otherwise don't have any.
The approach recalls Jung von Matt/Elbe's outdoor ads for home-improvement chain OBI. A splash of color in a gray landscape is so good at communicating a freshness of vision.
