Mirvac has teamed up with Swedish furniture giant Ikea and The Block stars Josh and Jenna to showcase terrace living on just $15,000.

Josh and Jenna were challenged to furnish and style the three-bedroom display home in the Garden Grove precinct of Mirvac’s master planned community Harcrest in Wantirna South.

The couple was given a budget of $15,000 and a timeframe of 48 hours to furnish the terrace using only furniture from Ikea.

Three-bedroom terrace homes in Harcrest start from $515,000.

“We’re inviting young couples and families to be inspired by our new terrace display home,” says Mirvac Victorian development director Elysa Anderson.

“To do this, we have partnered with leading furniture brand Ikea and interior design stars Josh and Jenna to bring to life the possibilities on offer for prospective purchasers - it’s inspiring to see what $15,000, two days and plenty of creativity can do,” says Anderson.

The display opened for inspection on October 13 with more than 400 people attending.

“We want people to walk through Mirvac’s new display home and see what can be achieved with a $15,000 budget at IKEA," says Bianca Speller, Ikea Melbourne marketing manager.

"This is a great partnership showcasing affordable and stylish living at its best,” says Speller.

It is not the first time Mirvac has joined forces with Ikea, with the furniture giant supplying furniture for a three-bedroom property in the Elizabeth Hills estate in South West Sydney earlier this year.
