A first home that can last forever

Your first real home is like the first true love, it feels like it will last forever. And perhaps it will! Regardless of how long you live there, the memories, pride and love for that first real home certainly will last forever. So will many of the traditional details, with equal inspiration from past times and here and now.

Bedroom in mainly light pink and white colours with HEMNES bed in the middle and PAX/GRIMO wardrobe in the back.

A traditional look with modern functions

Sliding partial glass doors, automatic lighting and other smart details make sure you decide what’s visible and what’s not. And those things visible sure are worth to be seen! The wide range of KOMPLEMENT interior organisers make room for all your favourite pieces, hidden or in the spotlight, in this PAX wardrobe.

We all need a steady supporter we can trust

Life is like crochet. If something doesn’t turn out as hoped, you can always undo some stitches and start over again. The same goes for your furniture, so make sure they fit your everyday life here and now, even if the needs have changed since you first chose them! This desk doesn’t care if you study, work, sow, read, draw, eat dinner or do crochet. It’s there to support you, regardless of which project you place on it. Add FRIDANS block-out roller blind in the window, to make light control an easy handiwork too!

Hide or show?

The generous drawers of HEMNES chest of drawers have the capacity to both hide away a lot of things and show off a few. Someone actually counted and came up with the fun fact that those drawers hold 140 folded t-shirts! And when everything else is tucked away, the top is cleared for the personal things you want to display and see every day.

Stay comfortable, both day and night

Make sure to use all your senses when choosing bedding, since different materials offer different qualities. This SHERSMIN duvet cover and pillowcases are made of a super soft muslin construction in 100% organic cotton. To make the bed as comfortable as a hang-out place at daytime as it is for sleeping at night, just add a few extra cushions.

Reinventing “tick-tock”

Even though TJINGA alarm clock looks old fashioned, we promise it doesn’t sound like one at all. It just quietly tells you the time, here and now, and will wake you up at any set time. But it won’t disturb your sleep, it won’t keep you awake long after you go to bed, it won’t mess with your peace of mind and it won’t argue that you should watch just one more clip on TikTok…

Keep dreaming!

Did you ever doubt you would make it this far and set up a complete life and home, all according to your own rules and favourite colours? We didn’t. On the contrary, affordable solutions to create a personal style is what IKEA has been all about from the beginning. Back in 1943 when Ingvar Kamprad was a 17-year-old countryside boy, he founded IKEA based on nothing but his creative mind and big dreams. A lot has changed since then but creativity still matters, handicraft is still food for the soul, solid wood is still solid and, last but not least, dreams are still the foundation of great things to come.
