When it comes to modern kitchen design, balance is everything. Clean lines, functional storage, and clever material choices all play their part. This IKEA HAVSTORP kitchen, photographed by Mauritz in Berlin, Germany, is a perfect example of how simplicity can meet warmth to create a space that feels both sleek and inviting.
IKEA MYLLRA – A Practical and Stylish Nursery Series

When setting up a nursery, functionality and style go hand in hand. IKEA's MYLLRA series brings both together in a clean, modern design that feels warm, practical, and well thought out. With smooth beige finishes, rounded details, and clever storage, MYLLRA makes life with a baby easier and more organized. All photos in this article were taken by Mauritz during a visit to the IKEA Tempelhof store in Berlin, Germany.

MYLLRA Changing Table with Drawers
The MYLLRA changing table is more than just a place to change diapers. It combines a spacious top with raised edges for safety, two large drawers for essentials, and open compartments for baskets or organizers. This layout keeps everything within easy reach while maintaining a tidy look.
The design is compact yet versatile, making it suitable even for smaller nursery spaces. Details such as rounded drawer knobs and soft curves give the piece a child-friendly character. Underneath, the drawers are perfect for storing baby clothes, blankets, or spare diapers, while baskets in the open sections can hold toys, creams, and wipes.
