Starting tomorrow, over a million mailboxes in Singapore will be stuffed with a copy of the new 2015 IKEA Catalogue. Until you pick up your own and immerse yourself in the ideas-packed furniture bible, enjoy this sneak peek of the stylish images from the book, along with some smart, creative ideas we’re totally stealing.
“Divide your space for different activities by tying fabric from the ceiling to the headboard.”
“You don’t always need walls to create a new room. You can easily divide a space with room-dividing furniture, textiles and a bed with built-in storage.”
“It’s not about having a living room or a bedroom. Simply create a comfortable space that works for both relaxing and sleeping! With flexible furniture, you can go from day to night easily.”
“Taking a little extra care of yourself doesn’t take a lot of effort. To create a rejuvenating bathroom, think smart insides, calm outsides, and add a layer of soft textiles.”
“Work and pleasure go together with a small workstation placed in any room. All your papers and supplies can be neatly stored away when you go from business mode to leisure mode.”
“Everyone can relax in their own way with flexible seating options. Sit where you’d like, and do what you’d like. The more individual comfort, the merrier!”
“If you love being surrounded by friends, go ahead and surround your living room with seating that will fit them all.”
“A few good pieces of furniture can give you all the functionality and style you need for years. Choose durable materials and timeless design to keep things easy.”
