IKEA MALM and EKET – a Stylish Bedroom Combination

29.08.2025

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.

MALM – timeless storage in wood

Along one wall, several MALM dressers with 6 drawers are placed side by side, topped with white glass panels that protect the surface while adding a modern touch. The long row of dressers enhances the sense of order and space, while offering generous storage for clothes and textiles. The glass tops also work as a sleek surface for lamps, plants, or personal details.

EKET as a creative bookshelf

Above the bed, IKEA has used EKET cubes in different colors as a light and airy bookshelf. By combining light grey-blue, wood-finished, and white cubes, the wall gains both variation and character, turning it into a focal point. Placing them above the bed is clever, as it frees up floor space and gives the room a unique look – especially useful in smaller bedrooms.

TÄRNKULLEN upholstered bed frame

The room is completed with the upholstered TÄRNKULLEN bed frame, covered in soft beige-grey fabric. Its discreet design blends seamlessly with both MALM and EKET. Blue patterned cushions and a green throw add color accents, making the space feel more inviting and personal.

A balanced bedroom solution

What makes this design so successful is the balance between open and closed storage. MALM offers hidden storage that keeps things organized, while EKET adds personality and display space for books or decorative items. The mix of wood, glass, and textiles creates a warm yet modern atmosphere.
