“Home idea with IKEA”: snug bedroom makeovers
This week’s hero, Akvilė, leads an incredibly active life with her partner. The couple loves to travel, especially skiing – Akvilė even celebrated her birthday on the slopes this year! However, when they returned home, they noticed that the bedroom, where they rest after their adventures, was too dark. The room in their old apartment lacked sunlight and had dark furniture, which they wanted to replace to transform the space into a peaceful, green retreat. To make this happen, they worked with our interior designer, Marija Neringa.
Before the renovation
Interior designer‘s task:
- Design the bedroom where the couple can sleep comfortably, easily keep it tidy and feel cosy.
- Provide space not only for clothes but also for documents, and replace the owner’s existing vanity with a more space-efficient solution.
- Set up different lighting scenarios: main lighting to brighten the entire room, task lighting for reading in bed, and soft mood lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere before sleep.
- Preserve and highlight a special feature of the bedroom – a handcrafted bas-relief created by the heroine’s father.
The VARDÖ bed storage box is a smart solution for a small bedroom. Thanks to the castors on the base, it's easy to roll in and out, making it perfect for storing duvets, pillows or seasonal clothing. With the fabric lid closed, the items stay dust-free.
The empty wall opposite the bed was dedicated to an inspiring display of BERGSHULT shelves with potted plants, books and picture frames, creating something to admire before falling asleep.
Instead of traditional bedside tables, we added narrow shelves behind the headboard for lamps, books, phones and other small items, and above them, in the most visible spot, we placed Akvilė’s father’s bas-relief.
