The interior ideas proposed by IKEA can be useful to those who decide to take on renovations on their own and want to follow modern design trends. The company's specialists work all over the world, many of them are ready to offer creative solutions that you can adopt when creating the interior of your home.

Design solutions from IKEA for the kitchen

The kitchen is a place where organizing space is extremely important. It is necessary to provide storage space, a sufficient number of work surfaces and convenient location of kitchen appliances, as well as household appliances. It is especially important to properly arrange a small kitchen. It should accommodate everything you need and at the same time remain functional.

A fun quest in a small kitchen

When there are many kitchen appliances and several family members in the house, it is difficult to maintain such an order in which each item has its place. Designers from IKEA proposed a non-standard solution. It is not necessary to use expensive finishing materials to cover the walls. It is enough to level the surface and paint it with matte black paint.

You can apply this finish to just one accent wall, and to prevent it from looking too gloomy, organize a place to store cutlery on it. All you need is crayons and nails. Trace the outline of each fixture on the wall with chalk and nail the fastenings. Now any family member can easily attach a spatula or whisk to the right place.

Bench as storage space

For a small kitchen, every centimeter matters. You can organize additional storage space in the bench, which has a built-in drawer under the seat. Put rarely used dishes or household appliances there. To make sitting on the bench comfortable, cover it with a soft rug or thin pillows.

Open shelves for dishes, food and detergents

If you do not want to clutter up the space of a small kitchen with wall cabinets, hang a couple of spacious long shelves in the work area. You can place dishes and items that are often used on them. Place jars of bulk foods, spices, dish soap, and similar things on the shelves that are convenient to keep on hand.

Decorating a children's room

In a children's room, owned by an active and curious child, you can create a real jungle. As the child grows up, the design style is easy to change. This is possible due to the fact that the furniture itself is laconic, and the design is created mainly through suitable accents.

Hang bright curtains with a tropical forest motif on your windows. Lay bedding with the same print. Populate the space with soft toys - lions, monkeys, giraffes.Choose a bed with storage space, and a desk with an adjustable tabletop height. It is very convenient and practical when the furniture “grows” with the child.

Modern bedroom design

When choosing a bedroom design, IKEA experts advise first of all to pay attention to creating a comfortable sleeping place. In a city apartment, a small room is usually allocated for a bedroom, so you also have to save space here. It is best to purchase a bed with drawers or a storage compartment under the base. For everyday clothes, you can place baskets in the bedroom.

Place things you rarely use on the top shelf of your closet. The cabinet itself can be conveniently built into a niche, if available. In a small bedroom, hang several mirrors on one of the walls at once. They will help visually expand the space.

Personalize the design by displaying personal photos in the narrow spaces above the bed. Home textiles, such as knitted rugs or blankets, will help add coziness to an intimate space.

Original hallway

When decorating apartments, every little detail must be taken into account. The hallway is the part of the house where visitors get their first impressions of the home. Here, too, it is necessary to use modern finishing materials and apply interesting design solutions.

You can decorate the hallway with decorative bricks; this will give the room a unique charm and make it unlike any other. Materials for brick finishing can be made in the form of wall panels, decorative tiles, flexible tiles, and gypsum elements. Such finishing can completely cover the wall or occupy only part of it. The panels are easy to install yourself.

Brick finishes are also used for rooms in Scandinavian or loft style. Be sure to think about lighting in advance. If the hallway is made of stone, decorate it with living plants, furniture with mirror or glass inserts, and paintings. In this case, the room will definitely not look gloomy.

Living room for several generations

In a house where a large family of several generations lives, the living room is a connecting center where people of different ages and interests gather and relax. The design of such a room should take into account the tastes and preferences of everyone. Soft armchairs and a large corner sofa will help any family member find their place. A large ficus in a tub or a monstera in a wicker basket will pay tribute to tradition.

The color of the sofa cushions should match the colors of the curtains. It is better to divide the room into zones and put a carpet on the floor in each of them. Round coffee tables will add dynamism to the interior. Instead of a central chandelier, designers recommend using local lighting above the seating area in combination with a floor lamp and table lamps.

The variety of furniture and accessories at IKEA allows you to create an interior in any style with your own hands. You can assemble furnishings in the house yourself; this work does not require any special skills from you. Right in the store, using a special program for interior design, the buyer will be able to see how the design of his apartment will look and, if desired, make the necessary changes, achieving the ideal result.
