In this elegant IKEA showroom scene, a curated selection of timeless pieces comes together to form a calm and sophisticated reading or lounging corner. At the heart of the composition is the MALSJÖ display cabinet – a beautifully crafted glass-door unit in matte black wood, offering both style and storage. It showcases a mix of books, timepieces, and decor, elevating the sense of classic charm.
Next to the cabinet stands the inviting REMSTA armchair, upholstered in a soft beige fabric with a sculpted, buttoned backrest. Paired with the minimalist KRAGSTA side table in black, this setup offers the perfect spot for a quiet coffee break or an evening read.
Above, the BERGSHULT wall shelves in black are mounted with matching brackets, used to display EDSBRUK picture frames, decorative books, and a lush faux FEJKA vine plant – adding a fresh, natural touch without the maintenance. The graphic black and white prints enhance the visual interest without overwhelming the serene color palette.
A subtle RANARP floor lamp peeks into the frame, offering directed light and an industrial flair with its black metal design and swing arm functionality – ideal for focused lighting beside the armchair.
Grounding the entire space is the soft STOENSE rug in a light beige tone, subtly textured to add warmth and comfort underfoot.
