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.
Timeless U-Shaped Kitchen Design: Elegant Gray Cabinets and Crystal Chandelier

Step into this stunning U-shaped kitchen, and you're instantly immersed in a space where classic design and modern convenience blend seamlessly. The soft gray cabinetry, with its paneled doors and glass inserts, nods to timeless European craftsmanship, while the sleek black Siemens appliances anchor the room with a contemporary touch.

One of the most striking features is the magnificent crystal chandelier hanging gracefully over the central round dining table. This bold, luxurious statement elevates the entire space, transforming the kitchen from a purely functional area into an inviting and sophisticated hub for gatherings.

The U-shaped layout maximizes both workspace and flow. Counters wrap around three walls, providing generous surfaces for cooking, prepping, and plating, while keeping everything within easy reach. Integrated ovens, a sleek stovetop, and abundant storage — including beautiful glass-front cabinets for display — ensure the kitchen is as practical as it is beautiful.

At the heart of it all sits the round dining table, set for four with chic black placemats, patterned napkins, and purple glassware. Positioned atop a plush black rug, this setup invites cozy dinners, cheerful breakfasts, or a relaxed coffee break under the sparkle of the chandelier. Nearby, a cushioned bench nook offers even more seating, making the kitchen a welcoming space for friends and family alike.

What makes this feature even more special is that Mauritz captured these beautiful images five years ago in a kitchen showroom. Even now, the design feels timeless, proving that true style doesn't fade — it only becomes more appreciated over time.
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.
