Whether you're furnishing a new home or updating your current bedroom, IKEA offers a wide selection of beds that combine style, functionality, and affordability. In this guide, we'll explore eight popular IKEA bed frames: HAUGA, HEMNES, BJÖRKSNÄS, NORDLI, IDANÄS, BRIMNES, MALM, and now also TONSTAD. All photos were taken by me, Mauritz, during visits to IKEA stores in Poland, Norway, and Bulgaria.
The TONSTAD bed is a newcomer that brings a more refined, modern look to IKEA's bedroom lineup. With built-in underbed drawers and a sleek oak veneer finish, it combines high-end aesthetics with smart storage. The wide headboard and soft-close drawers reflect IKEA's shift toward more premium-feeling design.
Best for: Contemporary homes, stylish storage solutions, lovers of oak finishes.
The HAUGA bed stands out with its soft green tones and cozy charm. It features a fabric-covered frame and a minimalistic design that fits perfectly into smaller bedrooms. The matching dresser and vanity desk add to the room's classic vibe. HAUGA is perfect for those who want a peaceful, vintage-inspired space that still feels fresh and modern.
Best for: Small spaces, cozy vibes, traditional interiors.
If you're looking for a bed that blends traditional aesthetics with solid craftsmanship, the HEMNES bed is a great choice. With its clean white wood finish and classic slatted headboard, it brings a bright, airy feeling to the bedroom. While it doesn't come with built-in storage, it pairs well with underbed storage boxes or matching HEMNES dressers for extra space.
Best for: Scandinavian-style homes, traditional design fans, bright interiors.
BJÖRKSNÄS is all about natural tones and calm simplicity. This bed frame, made from solid birch, brings a light and airy feeling to the room. Paired with soft lighting and wooden nightstands, the BJÖRKSNÄS bed creates a tranquil retreat from busy life.
Best for: Nature-inspired interiors, fans of minimal wood designs.
The NORDLI bed combines a modern look with maximum functionality. With deep built-in drawers underneath, it's perfect for storing bedding, clothes, or seasonal items. The neutral colors and sleek design give it a versatile style that works in almost any bedroom.
Best for: Apartment living, modern design fans, organized minds.
The IDANÄS bed is ideal for those who love a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern comfort. With its upholstered headboard and elegant profile, it adds a refined touch to any room. The muted colors and subtle patterns create a warm and welcoming space.
Best for: Elegant bedrooms, comfort-focused design, timeless appeal.
A favorite for compact living, the BRIMNES bed comes with built-in drawers and optional headboard shelving. The design is smart and space-saving, making it a go-to solution for students, studio apartments, or guest rooms. Despite its functionality, BRIMNES maintains a clean and modern look.
Best for: Small rooms, budget solutions, practical lifestyles.
The MALM bed is one of IKEA's most recognizable pieces. With a bold black frame and clean lines, it offers a contemporary look that suits urban and modern homes. The low-profile frame and optional under-bed storage make it both stylish and functional.
Best for: Modern interiors, bold colors, urban settings.
Choosing the right bed is about more than just comfort – it's also about finding a piece that fits your style and lifestyle. From the cozy charm of HAUGA to the minimalist efficiency of NORDLI and the bold statement of MALM, IKEA has something for everyone.
I hope these photos from IKEA stores in Poland, Norway, and Bulgaria give you a better idea of how each bed looks in a real-life setup. Whether you prefer soft pastels, natural wood, or dark modern tones, there's an IKEA bed waiting to transform your bedroom.
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.
Choosing the right door for your PAX wardrobe can be tricky, especially if you want to coordinate it with wall paint, flooring or other furniture.
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.
When space is limited, every detail matters. At IKEA Tempelhof in Berlin, Mauritz filmed a striking example of how a staircase can be combined with a kitchen to create both style and function.
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.
