Fashionable hosts stripped beds from IKEA, perhaps (7)

I believe the answer is:

swedish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ikea perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fashionable hosts stripped beds' is the wordplay.
'fashionable' becomes 'swish' (I've seen this before).
'hosts' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are welcomed or hosted).
'stripped' means to look at the middle letters (outside letters removed).
The middle letters of 'beds' are 'ed'.
'swish' going around 'ed' is 'SWEDISH'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swedish that I've seen before include "Eg, native to Stockholm" , "A Scandinavian language" , "He saw Miss Degas (anag) -- Scandinavian body work" , "Nationality that swished around" , "Like Abba" .)
