Exploring furniture stores is not just about shopping; it's about immersing yourself in ideas. At AIKO, the showroom is more than a display — it's a walk through real possibilities. I visited AIKO and documented what I saw through my lens, capturing rooms as they were meant to be seen: natural lighting, real textures, and unfiltered design.
A stunning modern kitchen stood out immediately, with warm matte cabinetry, framed glass doors, and a pristine white countertop. The bright peonies in a ceramic vase and classic wine glasses set the tone for elegance. This is not just a kitchen—it's a lifestyle statement.
In a cozy nook painted deep rose, a charming white vanity table with curved legs and an oval mirror brings timeless femininity into the space. Accented with a velvet pink stool and soft lighting, this corner feels personal, intimate, and utterly inviting.
White modular wardrobes lined up into a functional corner system, ideal for any modern bedroom. The clean lines and clever use of angles offer a minimalist yet highly practical solution. Sleek surfaces reflect the surrounding décor, tying the whole room together.
A masculine home office setup featured a large L-shaped desk in dark gray, paired with a comfortable black chair. A panoramic cityscape artwork provided motivation, while industrial-style shelving added depth and dimension. Functional and stylish, this is a workspace with energy.
One of the most eye-catching setups included bold, textured armchairs in earthy colors around a sturdy wooden dining table. Each chair had a sculptural, woven look—more like a design object than traditional seating. This space invited interaction, meals, and memory-making.
A long dining table was dressed for a special occasion with layered dinnerware, sparkling glassware, and a statement chandelier overhead. Rich textures, modern lines, and a bold yellow vase created the perfect blend of sophistication and warmth.
Last but not least, a warm caramel sectional with generous seating and plush cushions sat proudly on a light patterned rug. In the center, a triangular coffee table with sculptural black slats stood as an art piece in its own right. Together, they formed the anchor of a contemporary living room.
These photos from AIKO are not just snapshots — they're glimpses into how furniture can shape space and feeling.

IKEA's new RÅDMANSÖ series offers a warm walnut wood look with sleek, modern details that stand out in any bedroom. The series combines a retro-inspired design with practical storage solutions, all elevated by slim black legs with subtle brass-colored tips.
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.
The IKEA STOCKHOLM collection is one of IKEA's most exclusive and beloved ranges, known for its focus on craftsmanship, natural materials and timeless design. Unlike many other IKEA series, STOCKHOLM is created with the idea of long-lasting furniture pieces that bring a sense of luxury while still being accessible to a wide audience.
The STOREMOLLA series is one of IKEA's newest storage solutions, combining the timeless appeal of solid pine with a clean, rounded design. Available in two sizes and two elegant stain finishes, these chests of drawers bring both practicality and style to the home. Filmed by Mauritz at the IKEA Berlin Waltersdorf and Spandau store.
When it comes to kitchen design, the backsplash is often where creativity shines. Instead of the usual tiles, glass, or stainless steel, IKEA has presented something truly unexpected in one of their showrooms: a backsplash made entirely of faux greenery.
Finding smart storage solutions is often a challenge, especially in smaller homes or apartments where every square meter counts. One of the most overlooked spaces is under the staircase, a tricky corner that can either collect dust or be transformed into a highly functional storage area.
