Ideas and inspiration
School year begins with IKEA
It's time for another exciting season of learning, new experiences, and loads of fun! So, if you’re styling your dorm or need to set up a study corner at home, we’ll help you find all the back-to-school essentials under one roof.
What's new in the IKEA Showroom: living room and kitchen for an active family
We want to constantly inspire you to have a better everyday life. This is why we update the first five rooms in our store's Showroom at least once a year. Most recently, our interior designer Mantvydas has renovated this living room connected to the kitchen.
Ask an IKEA interior designer: a home that sticks to your beat
“My partner and I are moving into a new apartment, and we want to set it up to work with our lifestyle and schedule.” Creating a home that moves to your beat makes all the difference to daily life. We spoke to an IKEA interior designer and gathered some ideas on how to plan a home to run smoothly and simply.
The joy of entertaining in a small space
While they certainly won’t be hosting banquets in their small, one-bedroom apartment, this couple have mastered the art of intimate evening soirees. It all comes down to careful planning, seemingly endless small, delicious plates and treating preparation as half the fun.
A small apartment with refreshing, sharable details
What makes for a considered home? For the couple who live in this one-bedroom apartment, it’s all down to the aesthetics. They’ve put together a curated home just asking to be photographed and shared with the world. Their secret? Well, that lies in the details.
Modern life: a décor-centric small apartment for living well
When this couple decided to move in together, they did so with a common vision of what home should mean. Between the walls of their one-bedroom apartment, they’ve distilled their mutual love of order, elegance and entertaining, creating an inviting space they’re pleased to return to every single day.
Create an inspiring workspace
Your home office doesn’t have to be minimal for you to find focus or feel productive. It can be a hub of creativity, where your personality shines through. And your latest hobbies and passions are on display, sparking joy and motivation.
Bring some balance to your workday
Working from home does have its perks, like the two-minute commute to your desk. But it’s easy to fall into the habit of sitting at your desk for hours. So, it’s essential to make time for breaks that help you move more or that help you relax.
Ask a designer: a studio apartment fit for a family
“My family and I have just moved into a loft apartment, and we just don’t know where to begin! How do we turn this open space into a home?”. Internal walls do a lot of work for us, but even without them, we can create a wonderful home. According to interior designer Annette Ydholm, it all comes down to zones for different activities, smart storage ideas and creating privacy where and when we need it.
Any space will do: making a bedroom to call your own
Just like the people who inhabit them, no two bedrooms are completely alike. Small and cosy to large and lofty, storage, lighting, colour and texture are all you really need to make your bedroom a space you’ll always be pleased to enter.
