Welcome to a small, modern-style bedroom with clean, simple lines and beautiful empty spaces. Sleek, organised storage makes sure there’s no clutter and helps create a calm place to recharge. And you can set the mood in an instant as much of the lighting and more are smart products controlled from the IKEA Home smart app on your phone.

A few simple touches

A few carefully chosen and well co-ordinated pieces can create a big effect. The secret of this look is keeping things simple by having a base in mostly natural tones and adding some interesting textures.

    A wall of style and storage

    Even with a gap for the bed, a line of chests of drawers makes a style statement. And organises lots of clothes and accessories, of course. The similar storage creates a calm look, with the different heights adding interest. The pendant lamps are simple but striking, which suits this room nicely.

      A holiday every night

      With its fresh, crisp bed linen, sense of space and lightness, and electric blinds that you can pull up or down while you’re still in bed, this bedroom feels like a luxury hotel without having to leave home. The colours, from rug to curtains, are in harmony, helping it all look calm.

              You can do more with less

              Here the texture of the wall and the way it reflects light are part of the decoration. A few well-chosen, inspiring items against a backdrop of otherwise empty space can be really beautiful and add to that calm bedroom feeling.
