As IKEA begins phasing out long‑standing favorites like the HEMNES series, many shoppers are wondering what the replacements really offer. One such newcomer is GULLABERG, a new line of dressers and bedroom storage that brings a more modern construction while keeping a traditional aesthetic.
The IKEA KALLAX shelf isn't just a smart storage unit, it's also a stylish and affordable way to divide a room. But what truly makes it functional and beautiful is how you fill it. Choosing the right boxes, baskets, and inserts can enhance privacy, add texture, and help you stay organized.
