Explore the world of real-life interior design with a special focus on IKEA. I visit showrooms, study color combinations and document furniture in its natural setting from compact kitchens to statement pieces. Every photo is taken by Mauritz Interior & Design unless otherwise stated.


Creating a bedroom that feels both calm and functional often comes down to choosing the right storage. In this showroom, photographed by Mauritz Interior & Design at IKEA in Berlin, the classics MALM and EKET come together in a way that feels both elegant and practical.

When you step inside IKEA's wardrobe displays, one thing becomes clear: the PAX system is designed to give you structure and order. As you can see in this example, every shelf, drawer and rail has its place – making it easy to imagine how it would look in your own home.

The IKEA EKHOLMA sofa offers a relaxed and inviting look, perfect for anyone who wants a practical yet stylish seating solution. Shown here in the cover Hakebo dark grey, it has a versatile tone that blends seamlessly with both modern and traditional interiors. The fabric feels soft to the touch while still being durable enough for everyday use.

Choosing between IKEA's BODBYN and STENSUND kitchen fronts can be surprisingly difficult. Both styles offer a timeless, traditional aesthetic with framed panel doors, soft colors, and matte finishes. But the differences in design detail, material, and overall feel can significantly impact the look and mood of your kitchen.

IKEA never stops surprising us with fresh designs, smart solutions, and stylish updates. During my latest visits to IKEA stores in Berlin, I discovered several new arrivals that stand out – from elegant tables to practical storage and updated classics. Here are five of the most interesting new products you can now find at IKEA.

When it comes to versatile storage solutions, IKEA never disappoints. Two of their most popular rolling carts, the RÅSKOG and NISSAFORS, offer incredible utility for every room in the house. Whether you need extra storage in the kitchen, bathroom, or home office, these carts can do it all. But which one is right for you? In this detailed...

When it comes to smart hallway storage, few pieces are more space-efficient than IKEA's shoe cabinets. Two of the most popular models are STÄLL and TRONES. Both are designed to take up minimal space while organizing your shoes and essentials, but they serve slightly different needs.

If you're working with an open space and need a way to divide it without building walls, IKEA's MITTZON system is a clever and attractive solution. Whether you're creating calm zones in a busy office or adding privacy to a shared living area, this rolling frame offers flexibility, greenery and functionality in one.

Bathrooms are often one of the trickiest rooms to design. They need to be practical, easy to clean and full of smart storage, yet still feel calm and stylish. IKEA shows how this balance can be achieved with a bathroom solution that combines the HAVBÄCK/ORRSJÖN wash-basin cabinet, the TREASJÖN mirror cabinet and the supportive BÄSINGEN series.

When it comes to creating a modern dining space that feels both warm and sophisticated, IKEA knows how to balance materials, lighting, and smart storage. During my recent visit to an IKEA store in Berlin, I explored this dining room setup featuring the MÖRBYLÅNGA dining table, the HAVSTA glass cabinet, and the elegant SIMRISHAMN pendant lamp. The...

When setting up a nursery, functionality and style go hand in hand. IKEA's MYLLRA series brings both together in a clean, modern design that feels warm, practical, and well thought out. With smooth beige finishes, rounded details, and clever storage, MYLLRA makes life with a baby easier and more organized. All photos in this article were taken by...

The IKEA HAVSTORP fronts bring a rich, deep green shade to the METOD kitchen system, instantly adding character and warmth to the space. The surface is matt with a subtle gloss level (NCS color code S 8005-G20Y, Gloss 10), giving it a refined finish that feels modern yet timeless.

When it comes to wardrobes, IKEA's PAX system is a long-time favorite for its flexibility and smart design. The new KAMMARTORP doors bring a fresh look to the series, combining practical storage with a modern mirrored finish.

If you're searching for a modern kitchen that combines sleek style with clever functionality, the VOXTORP series from IKEA is a standout choice. Known for its minimalist design and glossy fronts, VOXTORP offers a clean, reflective surface that makes any space feel larger and brighter.

If you're looking for a piece of storage furniture that feels both practical and stylish, the SÅGMÄSTARE cabinet from IKEA is worth a closer look. With its subtle light gray-blue finish, turned legs, and simple detailing, this cabinet bridges traditional charm with a modern Scandinavian design language.

The RAST 3-drawer chest from IKEA is a versatile and affordable piece of furniture that seamlessly blends functionality with the charm of natural pine. Its compact dimensions make it an excellent choice for smaller spaces, while its solid wood construction ensures durability and a timeless aesthetic.

This IKEA kitchen combines the industrial look of VÅRSTA stainless steel fronts with the clean white finish of RINGHULT cabinets. Together they create a bright and functional cooking space that works equally well in small apartments and larger homes. The design is minimal yet professional, inspired by restaurant kitchens but adapted for everyday...

IKEA's new RÅDMANSÖ series offers a warm walnut wood look with sleek, modern details that stand out in any bedroom. The series combines a retro-inspired design with practical storage solutions, all elevated by slim black legs with subtle brass-colored tips.

Cooking outdoors is becoming more popular, and IKEA has stepped up with the BÅTSKÄR series – a smart and modular system designed to bring the comfort of an indoor kitchen outside. With a robust design, stainless steel worktops, and multiple grill options, BÅTSKÄR makes it easier than ever to create a functional and stylish outdoor cooking space.

If you are looking for a kitchen that balances warmth with sleek modernity, this combination of IKEA STENSTA fronts in dark brown, NICKEBO cabinets in matte anthracite, and HEJSTA glass-door wall units is a striking choice. The trio creates a refined yet welcoming atmosphere, making the kitchen both functional and visually appealing.

The IKEA STOCKHOLM collection is one of IKEA's most exclusive and beloved ranges, known for its focus on craftsmanship, natural materials and timeless design. Unlike many other IKEA series, STOCKHOLM is created with the idea of long-lasting furniture pieces that bring a sense of luxury while still being accessible to a wide audience.

The STOREMOLLA series is one of IKEA's newest storage solutions, combining the timeless appeal of solid pine with a clean, rounded design. Available in two sizes and two elegant stain finishes, these chests of drawers bring both practicality and style to the home.
