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.
How to style your living room like a Bolia showroom

There's something about Scandinavian interiors that speaks directly to the senses. Clean but never cold. Minimal but never empty. During a visit to Bolia, a brand known for redefining Nordic design, I brought my camera to capture what words often fail to express. These photos are my way of sharing that quiet, intentional beauty with you.


Soft materials and grounded shapes 🛋️
Every piece in the showroom felt like an invitation to pause. Sofas with soft curves and deep seats. Armchairs that seem to hug the body without saying a word. Rounded coffee tables in natural wood or stone create balance without noise. Nothing dominates the room, yet everything belongs. The space feels curated without feeling controlled, like a breath you didn't know you needed.

Lighting that sculpts the atmosphere 💡
Lighting here isn't just practical. It's poetic. Floating paper lanterns and luminous spheres hang like quiet statements, each one casting a glow that softens the room rather than brightening it harshly. These are fixtures that hold space. They don't interrupt the mood, they create it. In person, it's impossible not to stop and look up.

Texture that invites touch ✋
What stands out most in these interiors is how much they want to be felt. Boucle, linen, brushed wood, raw ceramics. The rooms aren't just styled for the eye, they're built for the body. Layered rugs underfoot, heavy curtains that move with weight, upholstery that speaks through its softness. Every surface tells its own quiet story.

Details that breathe, not crowd 🌿
I've always believed that real design is about knowing what to leave out. At Bolia, every object has space to exist. A single potted tree in a corner. A carefully chosen book on a low shelf. Sculptural vases with nothing in them. It's this restraint that makes the space feel open, thoughtful, and above all, livable.

A home that feels like exhale 🕰️
As I moved through the store with my camera, I wasn't just photographing furniture. I was capturing a feeling. That soft, wordless comfort that great design can offer. These aren't rooms for performance, they're rooms for presence. Spaces that support your rhythm, slow your pace, and remind you that beauty doesn't have to shout to be heard.
