Designers and decorators know how to combine simple solutions and present them stylish not only in projects for customers, but also apartments where they live. We asked the pros to tell about what items of the Swedish brand they chose for their apartments and houses, and why.
Apartment Ksenia Yerlakova
The designer used in his apartment several IKEA items. In the living room - the Black Dresser from the Undremal series (released from the range), in the bedroom - the floor lamp "barometer" of silver color, and in the dressing room - the large floor mirror "Mongstad".
Designer Ksenia Yerlakov:
I believe that this brand objects in any interior have a place to be, the main thing they must be correctly chosen.
Living room Anna Shevchenko
The lead designer of the studio Lares Design placed in their living room Komod Khemneces red-brown. It looks profitable against the background of light gray walls.
Designer Anna Shevchenko:
The dresser serves as container for documents and different fit things. This is a real treasure chest brought from around the world, so it is so organically adjacent to the books.
Apartment Elena Ivanova
The designer has equipped this little two-handle in the 1960 house for himself. The interior turned out to be in the style of eclectics: there are adjacent classic and modern techniques, vintage (for example, a written table) and objects from the mass market, including from IKEA.
Two racks "Liatorp" stand in the living room and create symmetry characteristic of classic interiors. And the Komot Malm is located in the bedroom.
Designer Elena Ivanova:
I like IKEA for price, quality and design ratio. If the budget and timelines are limited, then I am pleased to use furniture from there. To make the thing "under the project", you can replace the handles, as is done in my racks, and the piece of furniture will gain its individuality. You can also repaint it into accent bright shades, because IKEA creates an excellent base for further creativity.
Apartment Elena Efremova
Decorator Elena Efremova used many items of the Swedish brand in his apartment. For example, in the kitchen, this racks "Ivar" and suspended lamps over the head of the header - "Hekektar", in the workplace area in the bedroom - a suspended lamp that Elena made from the Lonar for Candle "Toppig". And the balcony has a rack and a table with a chair. The items of the Swedish brand are combined with designer furniture and accessories, vintage details, and therefore look even more stylish.
Ekaterina Condala workplace
Catherine, Lead Designer Lares Design, has equipped its workplace at home with IKEA. There is a table "Lynnmon / Adils" and "Torkel" chair.
Designer Ekaterina Condala:
As can be seen in the photos, the walls and top cabinets are in the design. Therefore, for the table and working chair, I needed simple solutions that do not take a lot on yourself.
House Lyudmila Kristalava
Wooden designer house full of creative solutions and bright colors. Restored and modern furniture here is adjacent to understandable and simple solutions, including with IKEA. So, for Ludmila's living room chose a Swedish brand sofa. "In my living room there is a folding sofa" Bakkabru "in the upholstery of an eco-friendly beige shade. A similar model can be found in many manufacturers of upholstered furniture - English, French, American, Russian - at very different prices. I am sure that this classic model will always be relevant, "comments the designer. And in the bedrooms of children you can see the written tables "Mickey" and the beds "Malm".
Designer Lyudmila Kristaleva:
IKEA has a very well composed collection of basic items. This is neutral, but high-quality design. What did I do in my country project? Next to the neutral sofa, I delivered a genuine rustic platband. It is very decorative, with carvings, patina. Magnificent art object! And this combination of basic furniture with a unique item is very advantageous. They perfect each other perfectly.
In children's rooms there are beds and workers from Ikea. Items visually lungs, have very good proportions. On the design, they are laconic, so I used the active color of the walls and the ceiling to make the story more complex, more decorative. You can, of course, "tuning" and the things themselves - to repaint, change the items, for example, to replace the handles to more interesting, bold the rear walls of the cabinets and the insides of the boxes with wallpaper, use stencils, interior scotch and so on. Then the items acquire individuality and become more valuable for you.
