If you're planning a kitchen remodel and looking for a stylish yet budget-friendly option, you've probably come across IKEA kitchens. Known for their sleek Scandinavian design and affordable pricing, IKEA kitchens have become a go-to choice for homeowners, renters, and even design professionals. But are they really worth the investment?

Minimalism is changing. It's no longer just about cold white walls and hard angles. And honestly? It's not even really "Scandinavian" anymore — or "Japandi." Walking through Bolia, I didn't see the same old design clichés. I saw something more universal. A new wave of calm. Let's call it: Global Zen.

If you're dreaming of a calm, cozy, and functional living space that blends simplicity with warmth, you're not alone. Scandinavian interior design has become a global trend — and for good reason. The mix of neutral colors, natural materials, and functional furniture makes it perfect for modern living.
