Fresh home furnishing ideas and affordable furniture - IKEA
A modern living room with natural materials and harmony all around
Well-chosen combinations of furniture, materials and colours set the tone in this airy living room, where braided rattan and light wood add a calming touch.
Bring out your inner cubist
It’s a neat storage shelf to begin with. Come a step closer and you’ll see that EKET cabinets are like building blocks for your very own design. Combine colours (or not), size and placement, and you’ll be amazed at the wall art you can accomplish.
The art of framing a wall
While a bit of greenery and dots of red bring a dynamic spark, the FRYKSÅS cabinet and TV benches are the true foundation of this soothing section. The rattan fronts have the added benefit of letting electronics be operated via remote while thankfully keeping them out of sight.
A team player and individual star, woven into one
Beauty, coordination, volume – this cabinet ticks all the boxes. The rattan exterior plays a big role for the natural-fibre theme of the room. It’s big on function, too. The design allows the doors to open extra wide, making it ideal for storing textiles and other things you want close at hand.
There’s a guest room under the sofa
If there is one thing that beats a big plush sofa, it’s that same sofa – that turns into a double bed. From family staying the holidays to hosting overnight visitors on short notice, a sofa-bed is there for you. Simply let the chaise longue open wide and take out all you need. Just to be safe, there’s even room for some extra cosy textiles.
The best for your guests
Isn’t it time to raise the status of the guest bed in general, and the guest sofa-bed in particular? After all, visitors are treated to perhaps the nicest spot in the home, prepped with crisp bed linen. If it’s a BÅRSLÖV, the list also includes big, comfortable and stylish.
The heart of the heart of the home
While on the subject, you can’t go wrong with a sofa in a neutral or muted colour. It just means that what you place in and around it gets the deserved attention. Take the opportunity with vibrant cushions, to refresh or for a seasonal match. Even better, you can stow off-season textiles in the sofa itself.
Thanks to the supporting cast
There’s something naturally inviting to having ample choices for gathering or simply sitting down. Like here, where a bench and a pouffe (both with hidden storage) add extra seating and colour. Count in the wheeled trolley and there’s flexibility to go around.
An activity hub on the side
Blending in brilliantly with the theme, there’s a well-equipped desk space nestled in this living room. A corner to do arts and crafts, paperwork or other, without needing to leave the room. The screen of the FRYKSÅS desk acts as a subtle room divider while also adding style.
Read, relax, read some more
Want to really immerse yourself in the serenity of the room? Here’s the perfect spot for that.
One mood to rule them all
Natural fibre and light wood define every part of this living room. The effect is calming and airy. The setting still allows other details to shine, like plants and selected pops of red. The lighting – some functional but mostly for mood – heightens the inviting feeling even more.
