A modern apartment model home design that’s attractive to buyers and your budget

Got potential buyers touring your model apartment? Congrats! Getting them in the door is a big step. These easy-to-replicate ideas will help you furnish an appealing, successful sales tool and close the deal. It’s a model apartment design that creates a distinct impression without draining your budget – and IKEA offers it all in one shop.

A modern apartment’s living room with big windows has a long, beige SÖDERHAMN modular sofa by two oak veneer coffee tables.

Wow interested home buyers with so! much! space!

Storage, storage, storage is as crucial as location, location, location. Go for lots of closed storage to create calm and spacious practicality. White, light oak and beige help this, too. Our storage systems have various doors, drawer fronts and hardware so that you can choose what appeals most to buyers. The mostly modular systems like METOD kitchens and PAX wardrobes can really fit the space.

An off-white TONSTAD table with six chairs is on a rug and below a glass chandelier, by an open kitchen with modern fronts.

Appeal to the heart

Buyers know to be rational, but emotions are powerful. Sway them with model apartment design that has comfort, style and inviting softness. Choose freestanding furniture (a SAGESUND upholstered bed, a SÖDERHAMN sofa, TONSTAD tables) with airy designs and gentle curves. Beige, off-white and other sandy colours feel fresh and make dust and dirt less noticeable.

Engage buyers with subtle experiences

Buyers’ hearts are fluttering. Now summon their senses. An eye-catching, big HOVET mirror to play with light. Gentle tunes. Pleasing scents. Materials that are tempting to touch – like dense velvet, structured linen and shiny glass. Encourage the body to send good signals to the brain; then all the decision-makers are on board.
