A home to be myself
“Life at Home Report” is one of the biggest and most distinctive global researches that we conduct to find out what life at home means today – and how we can help make it better. Last year we spoke to 37,000 people living in homes of all shapes and sizes across 37 countries, including 1017 in Lithuania.
“Home idea with IKEA”: from a pantry to a baby‘s room

Ask an IKEA interior designer: welcoming colour into your home
Whether you’re trying to break a beige habit or lean further into your colour quest, it can be tricky to know where to begin. Here we’ve gathered ideas from an IKEA interior designer on how to let those pretty, pigmented hues into your living space in a way that works best for you.
Hide and display: storage across the home
This apartment is designed for city-dwellers with a social lifestyle – enabling impromptu dinner parties, putting favourite things on display, and hiding what is needed but not meant to be seen. There is less space for storage, so this means thinking creatively, like a sofa that fits everything – including things you might not expect.
Living easy: an urban apartment designed for the good times
Trading in a suburban home for city life presents a golden opportunity to create a new living space filled with carefully curated furniture and objects collected over time. Set within a colourful apartment, this expressive space offers plenty of room to dine, entertain and enjoy the good life.
When light comes to life
In collaboration with award-winning Dutch-New Zealand designer Sabine Marcelis, the new VARMBLIXT collection explores the emotional effects of light at home. The statement lighting products and accessories will bring a sense of warmth and positivity into your home.
Trends and innovations in office furnishing
The distinction between home and office interiors has become increasingly blurred in recent years. For at least a few years, people have been working a lot from home due to the pandemic. Therefore now, in an effort to bring workers back to the office and to make them feel comfortable, more and more elements that used to belong exclusively to our homes are appearing in the working environment. Video calls while lying down, Instagram-worthy meeting rooms, plants, soft furnishings, cosy lounge areas with a great focus on privacy and well-being are just some of the latest office requirements.
Fresh as can be: a home designed for cleaning from the ground up
Busy homes get dusty, and the mopping and scrubbing can feel like a never-ending task. To make life easier, find solutions to keep home spic-and-span in a systematic and organised way.
Do not disturb: creating privacy in a shared bedroom
While social time is a big part of what makes a family a unit, all members of a multigenerational household need privacy, too. It isn’t straightforward with shared bedrooms, but clever use of storage, home furnishing solutions and room dividers help balance out together time with much-needed solo endeavours.
