What kind of home accessories does IKEA offer?

Our range of decorative items gives you countless ways to style your rooms exactly the way you want them. Whether you’re after subtle changes or want to put a whole area in the spotlight, small decorative objects such as sculptures, figurines and hanging decorations create eye-catching focal points on tables, chests of drawers or walls. The range of materials and colours is where it gets interesting : from wooden accessories to glass and metal pieces, right through to paper designs and woven rattan – there are accents to suit every interior style.

From hallway to living room – how do accessories complete a room?

Carefully placing a few chosen pieces gives each room more depth and ties your existing furniture together into a coherent whole. Scandinavian-style accessories are the ones to reach for if you want clarity and lightness. By combining different textures and shapes, you create smooth transitions between different living areas. And each piece behaves a little differently depending on where you put it.

• Living area: glass decorations like cloches or hanging ornaments for flowers and branches catch the light and add delicate highlights next to the sofa or on the coffee table.
• Hallway: natural materials such as wood or rattan – think figurines for tables and shelves or hanging wall decorations – bring an inviting warmth to your entrance.
• Dining area: on the dining table, small ceramic sculptures or seasonal ornaments create a beautiful setting for meals. They look especially good on a pretty table runner.

A few carefully chosen IKEA accessories are often all it takes to shape the atmosphere of a room and give it exactly the character you want for your home.

Which decorative accessories work well in my rooms?

Your personal retreat has its own character and deserves accessories that reflect your style. Here are a few examples. In the bedroom, soft colours and gentle shapes help to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere. A thoughtfully styled shelf with books and understated sculptures, combined with soft pools of light, makes it easier to wind down in the evening. Whether it’s a teenager’s room or a bedroom for adults, seasonal or special decorations bring a sense of joy and that wonderful feeling of being at home. In a child’s room, it's all about feeling safe and having room to imagine. Playful wall decorations and colourful accessories turn the space into a cosy, safe place for playing, learning and dreaming.

What is the 3–5–7 rule in decorating?

The 3–5–7 rule is a tried-and-tested stylist’s trick. It explains why some arrangements just look more pleasing than others. The secret lies in odd numbers. Three vases on a shelf, five candles on a table or seven small figurines in a display cabinet automatically create a harmonious, balanced impression. This decorating technique makes your arrangements more interesting to look at and gives your interior a more professional feel. Give it a try – you’ll see the difference straight away.
