IKEA interior designer Sälli Preitof completely changed the layout of the living room – she switched the positions of the sofa and dining table, creating two distinct zones. "When a living room has multiple functions, creating zones is key, because they allow different activities to happen simultaneously," explaines the interior designer. In this living room, one of the main zones is for relaxing – with a generous grey SÖDERHAMN modular sofa with washable covers that can sit all the family.
As for storage solutions, the star is the BESTÅ furniture combination, which offers a flexible solution for the family's different needs. The interior designer's recommendation is to always combine open and closed storage solutions. "This allows you to display your favourite items while keeping other things out of sight," says Sälli. She adds that there's no need to fear floor-to-ceiling wall cabinets – on the contrary, they use the entire wall height for storage, saving valuable floor space and creating a more spacious feeling.
