Upholstered furniture for a drawing room
The situation in the living room depends on many aspects: the decoration of the room, the selected colors, textiles and decor. But nevertheless, it is upholstered furniture that creates the image of the room for the whole family. The living room is intended primarily for rest and relaxation, which means that it is impossible to do without a soft zone in it. Sofas, armchairs and poufs will allow you to comfortably stay in the living room for conversation, watching videos or reading.
The concept of creating upholstered furniture, implemented in the Ikea chain of stores, promotes practicality and comfort. Furniture for a cozy and attractive living room should be ergonomic and comfortable, aesthetic and easy to care for. Removable covers that can be washed in a washing machine or coatings that are easy to clean at home - these are the nuances thought out by the creators of upholstered furniture from Ikea.
In the assortment of the Ikea chain of stores, you can find simple and concise pieces of furniture that will organically fit into many interiors with different stylistic directions. For example, for modern living rooms, made using minimalist motifs, simple but comfortable large sofas with removable soft seats and covers are great.
The leather upholstery of sofas and armchairs allows the use of light shades of furniture even in homes with young children. Leather surfaces are easy to clean. Almost not subject to fading under the influence of sunlight, serve for a long time, without losing aesthetic appeal. The only drawback of such upholstery for upholstered living room furniture is that it is hot in summer on such surfaces and cool in winter. But light bursts or wraps can easily solve these problems and introduce an element of novelty into the completed interior.
If your living room, decorated in a light, neutral color scheme, needs accents, colorful spots in the interior, then the rich color of the upholstery of upholstered furniture will be most welcome.
The concept of furniture production at Ikea is based on the modular method of combinatorics. And this applies not only to cabinet furniture, but also upholstered furniture. You can attach an additional soft block to a regular sofa, made in the same color and texture as the main subject of the recreation area. As a result, you can not only expand the number of seats in the living segment or make your stay on the sofa more comfortable, but also arrange a sleeping place for guests who will stay overnight.
Saving useful space is one of the key aspects of creating interiors and their components for Ikea. Corner sofas are able to provide maximum space in the soft zone of the living room, while taking up little space in the room. For spacious rooms, this technique will help to zone the family room, for example, separating the relaxation area from the reading corner or outlining the conditional boundaries between the dining room and the living room segment.
Storage systems, tables and stands for halls
Depending on the size of your living room, it can be functionally filled in various ways. If after organizing the soft zone there is enough space left, you can equip it for storage systems, which are never many, no matter how big the home ownership or apartment is.
Storage systems from Ikea are made all on the same principle of modularity. You yourself can make the combination of open shelves, shelves and cabinets you need. As a rule, storage furniture is available in a light color palette with simple and concise forms that can harmoniously fit into any interior of a modern living room.
Large poufs that perform several functions at once - seating, footrests and a coffee table, are not just a practical addition to the main furniture ensemble, but can become a focal point, the island of your living room. Leather upholstery allows you to care for the surface of the pouf-stand with ease, it is never impossible to insure that someone from the guests or household spills their drink or drops snacks.
Light coasters and coffee tables will not only fulfill their basic functions, but they will also be able to transform the interior of the living room, add originality or brightness (depending on the model of the product), can zone spacious rooms and designate this or that segment of a room shared by the whole family.
Additional interior items, lighting and textiles
The advantage of organizing collections of furniture and accessories in the Ikea chain of stores is that you can choose the accessories for your furniture without getting out of the course set by the style and color palette. You can immediately pick up the carpet for the living room, curtains and curtains for the design of window openings, lighting devices, ranging from chandeliers to table lamps and much more.
Ceiling chandeliers, floor lamps, table lamps and wall sconces at Ikea are made according to the principle of “applicability”, it is believed that simple and concise forms, traditional colors and standard sizes can be harmoniously integrated into the interior of almost any style. But at the same time, accessories for the living room and not only look modern, original and perfectly fulfill their main functions.
The carpet in light, neutral colors will not only warm your legs on cool days, but also bring a touch of home comfort to the atmosphere of a minimalist living room, raise the degree of attractiveness and comfort of the room.
Bedroom
In our personal room, we all need an atmosphere that would calm and pacify, give our soul and body the opportunity to relax after a difficult day and gain strength for new achievements. And if the background for a calm and pleasant atmosphere is mainly the decoration of the room, then the quality of our sleep is affected by the correct choice of bed.
The European style in the interior is mainly aimed at a harmonious combination of practicality and comfort. Simple shapes and clear lines, the severity of the decor and the lack of excessive decor is characteristic of the decor of European houses and apartments. These motives could not but be conveyed to the style of execution of furniture from Ikea. Beds and related furnishings for the bedroom were not left out in this case. The minimalist atmosphere, close to asceticism, is to the liking not only of Europeans, but also of many of our compatriots. Interiors in bright colors, devoid of excessive decorativeness, including only a set of the most necessary furniture and accessories, are considered suitable for organizing the situation in the bedroom.
When creating an interior for a children's bedroom, pay special attention to the materials from which the furniture is made. Require consultants to provide quality certificates for each product, check the levels of toxicity, environmental friendliness of furniture and accessories.
Bed
The central element of not only the furniture, but also the entire interior of the bedroom deserves to be spent on his choice of time, effort and money. The depth and duration of our sleep, which means health and well-being, depend on what materials and with what degree of good faith the frame of the bed is made, how the base is constructed and what mattress it is on.
The advantage of buying a bed from Ikea is that you can choose the frame of the piece of furniture, its base and mattress to it in one place, as well as provide your central element of the bedroom interior with bedding, blankets, pillows and a bedspread. At the same time, you can withstand not only compliance with the color scheme and textured solutions, but also be confident in the ergonomics, safety and practicality of the selected products.
If you are not satisfied with the standard versions of the bed models, then you can order the necessary additions for you - drawers at the bottom of the product or slats for installing a canopy.
A bed with soft upholstery is not only a safe and beautiful product for sleeping and relaxing, but also a great opportunity to bring originality, comfort and coziness to the bedroom interior. If you knee against the corners of the bed all the time, if children come running into your bedroom, bumping along all the protruding surfaces along the way, then this option of decorating the central piece of bedroom furniture will make your life a lot easier.
Additions to the bedroom interior
We all perfectly understand that to create a harmonious, convenient and functional bedroom interior for a modern homeowner, it is not enough to put even the most comfortable bed in the center of the room. It is necessary to take care of creating an effective and multi-level lighting system, purchase bedside tables or low stand tables.
For those apartments and houses in which there is no possibility of organizing a separate room for the dressing room, it is necessary to equip spacious storage systems, which can also be located in the bedroom.
Some homeowners need a TV in the bedroom, others need a reading corner. Mistresses will advocate for the presence of a dressing table, and the owners may need a mini-office in the room for sleeping and relaxing. Surprisingly, all these needs can be met with the help of a wide range of home goods from Ikea.
Simple consoles, which can either be completely attached to the wall, while saving a considerable amount of space, or rely on two legs, can be upgraded to a desk or desk, dressing table or stand, depending on your needs.
In the bedroom, you may need not only cabinet furniture, but also a small sofa or ataman, which can be installed at the foot of the bed, so that it is convenient to dress or get ready for bed or put a miniature of a resting place by the window to enjoy nature or read.
If the bedroom space allows, then you can organize a whole relaxation area or a small boudoir in one of the corners of the room or by the window (depending on the shape and size of the room). A small sofa or a pair of chairs with a pouf-stand or a low table will create a harmonious and comfortable group.
