IKEA living room design

What to consider when setting up?

The first thing to consider is - style direction... Ikea is suitable for living rooms in a modern style, scandi, loft, minimalism, provence... But it will not fit into art deco or baroque.

As for the benefits of using ikea in the gym:

• Optimal price-design-quality ratio. Ikea furniture is not cheap. But if you try to look for analogues from other furniture manufacturers, they will cost even more.
• Following trends. On sale you can find both classic and ultra-modern solutions.
• Modularity. Most of the cabinet furniture is modular, which means it can be completely different sizes and assembled in any order.
• Large selection of materials. From the budget LACK from chipboard and paper, to expensive NORROKER from an array.

The famous KALLAX or a budget analogue FRIDLEV... The appearance of the cell rack primarily depends on the filling. In addition to it, do not forget to purchase baskets, doors, drawers.

In design small living room Ikea prefer small wall shelves - EKET, LAKK, BERGSHULT can be attached anywhere. They are compact, while partly replacing roomy cabinets or racks.

Important! White is considered a classic, but positions are also available in 1-5 additional shades: from dark brown or black, to bright, for example, green.

What kind of upholstered furniture is better to choose?

King of the living room sofa! The store has a large assortment of upholstered furniture: it will not be difficult to find a suitable size, color, functionality.

• KLIPPAN is an economical option for a small living room. Size 180 * 88 cm will fit even in the smallest room. Suitable for two adults.
• GIMMARD and BRISSUND - three-seater budget models that transform into a bed. Transformation mechanism - an ordinary book, under the seat there is a spacious storage box for bedding. There are both straight models and angular ones with a chaise longue.
• More modern and stylish straight sofa bed - bright ASKESTA. Features of the model - click-gag transformation mechanism and a large linen drawer is made. Corner version - HOLMSUND with dolphin mechanism, laundry box is located under the ottoman.
• If the covers of previous models are fabric, then GESSBERG and LIDHULT differ in leather upholstery. The first is folding, the second is static.

The choice of additional soft accessories depends on your personal preferences and the size of the living room. The spacious room has enough space for a couple of armchairs - choose from the same line with a sofa or deliberately contrasting models. The most popular are STRANDMON, WEDBU, POENG.

Poufs also come from the same series with a sofa or an armchair, or a completely different look: stylish wicker HAMLEGULT will decorate the Scandinavian interior, discreet gray OMTENKSAM will fit into a minimalistic design.

Which textiles and curtains to choose?

Living room furniture from ikea in the interior will look dull without cozy textiles.

Let's start with the windows: if the living room has a permanent place to sleep, blackouts come in handy. MAYGULL curtains are suitable: there are both colored and neutral.

For an ordinary living room, in which you do not plan to sleep every night, choose the lighter, flying ANNALUISE curtains or tulle LILLEGERD.

Important! Residents of Scandinavian countries in most cases do without curtains at all, so if you create a design in the Scandi style, you can save on curtains.

To make the house look more stylish, do not forget about pillows: prices for decorative models start at 49 rubles (TURILL). At the same time, you can buy either a ready-made model or assemble it from the base and the pillowcase you like.

You can complement the composition with a sofa, coffee table and fireplace using plaid: classic plaid ANNAMIA or knitted YGABRITTA - it's up to you.

A special place in the hearts of ikea fans is carpets: they are able to make the room cozy! In the living room, the series PERSISK, STOCKHOLM, VINDUM will be appropriate.

Important! The carpet should fit a sofa, table, armchairs. A size smaller than a sofa looks scanty.

How can zoning be done?

The design of the ikea living room does not require the invention of the wheel, all ideas can be spied on the website or in the exhibition halls. 3 options zoning:

• Curtain... Simple, cheap and tasteful! The manufacturer suggests using it to separate the living room from the bedroom or study. And when delimitation is not needed, it is enough just to remove the curtain against the wall.

• Sofa. To show that one zone has ended and another has begun, place a sofa across. Fortunately, Ikea models have neatly designed backdrops.
• Rack... The familiar KALLAX is a great option. Solves storage problem and shares space at the same time.
