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.

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.
IKEA's BILLY bookcase is known as a living room staple, a home office essential, and one of the most iconic IKEA pieces of all time. But what if we told you it also works beautifully in the kitchen?
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.
If you're searching for a furniture collection that seamlessly combines modern functionality with timeless design, the TONSTAD series from IKEA might be exactly what your home needs. With its calm oak veneer, clean lines, and versatile elements, TONSTAD brings warmth and elegance to any room.
KALLAX is a fan favorite when it comes to dividing space, but it's not always the easiest to move around. If you live in a small apartment, like to change up your layout often, or just want something lighter, IKEA has several room divider options that are stylish, portable, and easy to fold or roll away.
