A living room where every night feels like movie night

When you binge on your favourite shows, all you really need to get in the mood is a comfy place to sit, good lighting and well-organised storage so that there’s room for you and your friends to stretch out. Such are the basics of a blockbuster living room.

A tidy room is a more relaxing room, so there’s a huge choice of BESTÅ storage combinations to help you keep your cables, gadgets and playthings neatly out of the way.

Fingertip control

When you have TRÅDFRI remote control lighting, you can adjust the mood without leaving your seat from the remote or the app on your smartphone.

Good lighting around and behind the TV helps to reduce eye strain and reflections on screen, while BESTÅ storage helps you to keep the surroundings orderly.

Light from the window need never interrupt your viewing pleasure when you have FYRTUR block-out blinds with remote control.

Create the vibe with scents and lighting

“You can use textiles, scents and ambient lighting to create a relaxed atmosphere, so that you can focus on the screen and not the surroundings.” - Kristina Pospelova, Interior Designer, IKEA
