IKEA has officially begun phasing out the beloved MALM series, replacing it with a new and safer alternative: STORKLINTA. But what exactly is different between these two lines of bedroom furniture? Here's everything you need to know if you're considering a switch or just curious about the change.
HYLLIS and RISHOLMEN from IKEA – Smart Outdoor Storage Meets Relaxing Lounging

Creating a serene and functional outdoor space means choosing pieces that serve a purpose while enhancing comfort – and IKEA delivers exactly that with the HYLLIS shelving unit and the RISHOLMEN armchair. Captured in an IKEA showroom by Mauritz, these pieces work beautifully together to transform even the smallest balcony or patio into a stylish retreat.

HYLLIS – Weatherproof, Minimalist Storage
The HYLLIS shelf, made of galvanized steel, is a compact and budget-friendly storage unit that thrives in both indoor and outdoor settings. Its open shelving design is perfect for showcasing plants, storing tools, or organizing outdoor essentials without taking up too much visual space. In this setup, it's styled with classic white flower pots and greenery, turning vertical storage into a design feature.

RISHOLMEN – A Cozy Outdoor Escape
The RISHOLMEN chair is all about comfort with style. Its airy rattan weave, high backrest, and broad seat invite you to slow down and relax. Paired with soft cushions, it becomes a statement piece for outdoor lounging. Whether under an umbrella on a patio or in a quiet garden corner, it adds a natural, hand-crafted feel to any space.

Form Meets Function Outdoors
When combined, HYLLIS and RISHOLMEN show that practical design doesn't have to sacrifice charm. HYLLIS keeps things tidy and accessible, while RISHOLMEN elevates the comfort level. The contrast of cool steel with natural rattan also brings a nice material balance.
