Living tips and inspiration from the new Ikea catalog 2018
The new catalog focuses on the living room, which often includes several functions. The room is now also used as a study, guest room or playroom. The furniture should be designed as flexible and modular as possible. The furniture store has a lot to offer. New upholstered furniture and storage systems create more living space and appear inviting. They fulfill multiple functions so that the room can be quickly converted as needed. Aesthetic ideas for room layout can also be found. In the new catalog, Ikea also addresses the topic of color design and living with colors. Two trends can be distinguished - furnishing in elegant, dark tones such as blue, green and black and interior design in delicate pastel nuances such as soft pink, salmon and apricot colors, mint green combined with light gray. The insider tip for both of them is: tone-on-tone color mix.
Simple& colored
In the new catalog, Ikea presents many living styles and mixes them boldly. There is great inspiration for every taste. Exciting colors, opulent fabrics and Scandinavian design are combined with a modern baroque flair and create a living ambience with individual character. The walls this year are anything but white. Muted earth tones and natural materials such as pine and birch wood, seagrass and jute exude cozy charm. This gives the room a natural and relaxed touch.
Sustainable decoration ideas
Sustainable materials and multifunctional furniture are what sets the furniture store apart from other furniture manufacturers. The new catalog presents a new chair called “Odger”, which is made from a mixture of wood and 50% recycled plastic. In addition, it can be assembled easily and without tools, but using the folding function. Another new highlight is “Svalnäs” wall-mounted storage combination made of renewable bamboo wood. New colors appear in the home textiles and upholstery, making it really chic or cozy and cozy. To create a calm and relaxing atmosphere, group objects with similar colors. Plants serve as fresh eye-catchers and electrical devices should be put away if possible.
Ideasforgreen living
With life in big cities, more and more people are longing for more nature and greenery. Houseplants are a great way to have a positive effect on the indoor climate and mental well-being. They are natural stress inhibitors and not only clean the air, but they also add color to the room and enliven it. Ikea offers several functional solutions to bring a little more nature into your own four walls. The “Elvarli” storage combination serves as the basis for this “living wall”. Several potted plants are placed on it and it functions as a kind of green partition.
The furniture store also offers several containers and pots for large and small plants. Always being on the move is no longer an excuse, because anyone can create a mini desert with undemanding cacti, succulents and decorative stones that require a lot of sunlight and little water. There are also self-watering pots that make caring for the plants much easier. You can use a special container for the cuttings - “Rimforsa”, which acts like a real decorative object. For the lazy, Ikea offers a range of evergreen works of art that require no watering and can add a fresh, green touch to any home.
Multifunctional andspace savingstorage
An important point with the products is saving space. A piece of furniture or home accessory usually fulfills several functions. One such room divider is the “Veberöd”, which is primarily used in the kitchen, but not only for functional purposes. It takes up very little space and creates plenty of storage space. Pots and kitchen utensils can be easily hung on the grid. There is another storage option underneath - pockets made of 80% cotton and 20% linen, where placemats and napkins can be perfectly stored.
practicalTips for the bathroom
It is not uncommon for the bathroom to only have a few square meters of space in which several accessories and utensils should fit. Good organization helps to ensure that everything is tidy and ready for a wonderful start to the day. Closets, large containers for dirty laundry and fresh towels are the be-all and end-all of a comfortable bathroom, regardless of its size.
forthe little one
Maybe the kitchen is the room where you always want to have more space. The whole family can help prepare food and this encourages children's curiosity. A special highlight are the “Uddevalla” kitchen fronts made of reused wood and recycled PET bottles with a chalkboard coating. The small height of one kitchen module is specially designed for the little helpers. Ikea offers new ideas and solutions that are easy to implement and even possible without drilling - such as the “Laddan” storage plate with suction cups and space for “small” utensils.
forthe children's room
A big theme in the 2018 catalog is the children's room. This ensures more order, but according to the child's individual preferences and rules. Flexible storage systems made from sustainable materials such as wood or recycled plastic, which the child can organize and arrange differently, give them the opportunity to design their own area. For slightly older children, there are great space-saving inspirations that make optimal use of the available space.
multifunctionalLED lighting
Good light is part of the cozy living concept and Ikea also offers plenty of new products in this area. In addition to the particularly energy-efficient LED lights, there are those with charging functions that impress not only with their functionality, but also with their design. “Ikea PS 2017” is a transportable LED lamp that can be charged via USB or a normal socket. It is inspired by the old train lights that you can take with you wherever you want light. “A product with a timeless function in a modern housing,” says designer Matali Crasset herself.
Platzfor souvenirs and favorite items
What adds an individual touch and turns the new address into a home are the personal details and small objects. But you should also keep them tidy and present them beautifully. There is this great “Myrheden” frame in brass look with 12 clips. It is ideal not only as a small pin board, but also for attaching small things and memorabilia. You can even separate areas from several pinboards like this that are connected to each other.
Ikea decorationIdeaswith pictures for tricky places
When presented creatively, the walls shine in a new light without having to redesign the entire room. Several different pictures and photos can be wonderfully mounted in frames on the wall for presentation. In order for the picture wall to appear harmonious and as a coherent whole, they should have something in common - for example, the same color, a similar shape or the images should all be black and white. At flea markets you can always find interesting additions to the collection that can easily get a new color.
Minimalist
The furniture store remains true to the Scandinavian style and, as always, offers new products that revolve around the three basic principles of minimalist living: simplicity, beauty and functionality. Old and new items are often put together to complement the home and remind us of different periods of life. Small home accessories, upholstery and textiles can be used to add lots of color and individual touches to a simple room designed in white. As with any interior design, imagination and creativity are required here.
Tipsfor theRemodel
Last but not least, Ikea promotes the idea that you can afford great glamor for little money. A large part of the products are simply colored in white and therefore offer limitless design options. “Glamour doesn’t have to cost a lot,” says Parisian haute couture designer Maryam Mahdavi, and in collaboration with Ikea, she designed a bedroom using only Ikea products. In order for the redesign to be tasteful, it is particularly important to create color harmony. Walls and ceiling in the same color serve as a good basis and create lightness and intimacy at the same time. The fashion designer reveals further helpful design tips and “magic” tricks that apply to both fashion and interior design in the new Ikea 2018 catalog.
