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.
Scandinavian Elegance: Discover the IKEA LANDSKRONA Sofa Series

When it comes to blending minimalist design with timeless elegance, IKEA consistently delivers, and the LANDSKRONA series is no exception. Wrapped in a luxurious Grann/Bomstad golden brown leather finish and supported by refined wooden or metallic legs, this sofa is more than a seat – it's a lifestyle.

📐 Design Meets Function: Why LANDSKRONA Stands Out
The LANDSKRONA is a sofa that speaks in clean lines and soft sophistication. Its tufted cushions, structured form, and warm caramel hue elevate any living room without shouting for attention.
-
Premium Materials: The Grann/Bomstad leather is soft yet durable, designed to age gracefully over time.
-
Supportive Comfort: High-resilience polyurethane foam and polyester fiber provide excellent comfort and shape retention.
-
Flexible Configurations: From 2-seaters to large L-shaped sectionals, LANDSKRONA adapts to spaces big or small.
Whether you're styling a cozy apartment corner or a sprawling family room, this series allows you to build your dream setup piece by piece.

🎨 Styling Tips: Modern, Mid-Century, or Bold and Botanical
One of the most exciting aspects of LANDSKRONA is how well it plays with different aesthetics:
-
Mid-Century Modern: Pair it with a low-profile walnut coffee table and geometric lighting.
-
Boho Chic: Add layers of patterned cushions, a woven throw, and plenty of plants.
-
Contemporary Urban: Combine it with sleek black frames and industrial shelving for an edgy, loft-like feel.
Golden brown is incredibly versatile – it warms up cold tones and adds depth to neutral palettes.

🏡 Real-World Inspiration: From Showroom to Your Room
In IKEA showrooms, LANDSKRONA is often staged with lush tropical wallpapers, minimalist Scandinavian art, and golden velvet pillows that highlight its elegant upholstery. These setups are more than eye candy – they're blueprints for your own home.

All photos featured in this post were taken by me, Mauritz, during visits to various IKEA stores. Each shot captures different angles, lighting, and styling ideas that reflect the sofa's charm in real-life settings.
Imagine sinking into those plush cushions after a long day, golden hour light dancing off the leather surface, a cup of tea in hand. That's not just a mood – that's your future.

💡 Pro Tip: Invest in Timeless Comfort
If you're after furniture that won't go out of style next season, LANDSKRONA is a future classic. It's a sofa you'll be proud to show off, yet practical enough for movie nights, guests, or lazy Sunday naps.
And with IKEA's modular approach, you can always expand or adjust as your space (or family!) grows.
