“Home idea with IKEA”: a living-cooking-dining room and study space in one
This week’s hero, Rasa, is a true powerhouse – she’s always on the move! Between hitting the gym, working hard, raising her son and whipping up delicious meals in the kitchen, she juggles it all. Most of their time is spent in a cosy 17-square-metre room, where they cook, eat, relax, read, work and do homework. For Rasa and her son, a dishwasher and the simple joy of stretching out to watch TV are absolute essentials. But can all aspects of family life really fit into one compact space? Our interior designer, Toma, has no doubt that they can!
“Home idea with IKEA”: a fresh start in the family kitchen
This week’s heroes are Jūratė and Aleksas, parents of two sons, who bought a house with partial finishing and decided to renovate it themselves. As they are doing the renovation with their own hands, there is currently no functioning kitchen or dining area in the house. However, this space is the heart of the family home – a place not only for eating but also where a lot of time is spent together. To make it comfortable, spacious, and suited to their lifestyle, Jūratė and Aleksas turned to our interior designer, Anastasia, for help.
Small on space, big on storage
There are many ways to give even the smallest kitchen some serious style and make it feel more spacious than it is. Use clever storage solutions to stow away things when they’re not in use and, if possible, try a simple design trick: white fronts reflect light and help create the illusion of a bigger space.
