Options in the interior

To make it easier for you to form an opinion about Ikea cabinets, we will present you with several illustrative examples of designs in various interiors.

  • Spacious display cabinet with many shelves and drawers. This design is perfect for walk-in closets. Several compartments with hangers will fit all your dresses and shirts. Several shelves and drawers are great for storing hats, linens, shoes and any other items. The rack does not imply shelves, always leaving free access to clothes.
  • Sliding wardrobe with mirrored doors. This model is a classic to complement any hallway. The mirror facade visually expands the space. Doors on rails will not require additional space to open them, unlike swing options. And inside the structure all the necessary things and proper clothes will fit. The internal content can be anything, it all depends on your preferences and lifestyle.

  • Wall-mounted light cabinet with lighting. If you need to put a large number of things in order, this option is definitely for you. Lots of shelves, hangers and drawers will help you organize all the clothes you have. The closet has a comfortable trouser rack, shelves for shoes and bags. And the installed lighting will make access to things even more convenient. This wardrobe is an excellent solution for a bedroom, wardrobe or spacious hallway.
  • Yellow display cabinet. Such a bright and stylish cabinet will become a real decoration of your home. Clear glass doors will effectively display the contents of the shelves. At the same time, they will reliably protect objects from dust and awkward movements of household members. It would be ideal if such a cheerful shade appeared in other interior items. The functionality and original design of the structure will certainly please its owner.
  • Small corner wardrobe. Corner designs allow you to rationally use every centimeter of free space. This model will help bring order to the children's room, kitchen or bedroom. Of course, too many items will not fit in such a closet. But as a functional addition to existing structures, such a model is simply irreplaceable. In addition, the cabinet looks quite stylish and attractive.

Ikea shelving in the interior of rooms

Many people believe that a metal shelving unit will not fit into the interior. Ikea has made metal shelving a highlight, allowing you to place massive objects that, thanks to various designs, are perfect for the interior of almost any kitchen, pantry or cottage. High strength will not allow boxes with seedlings or heavy jars of pickles to crush the seemingly weightless structure.

Bookshelves from Ikea are of high quality and have a huge selection, so they are perfect for any interior. They can be either with lockable drawers or completely open. In addition, with such a rack you can divide the room into a work area and a guest area, other options are possible. Bookshelves produced by IKEA can be single-level or multi-level, suitable for installing various large decorative elements on the top shelf.

Free space in the corner of the room can be filled with corner shelving from Ikea. Moreover, such a rack will not only fill the void, but will also allow you to make the most efficient use of the free space.

In the interior of bright rooms, a white Ikea shelving unit will look harmonious, but sometimes a contrasting design is used, in which case all the furniture is white, and the walls and floors are dark tones.

For placement in the center of the room, hanging racks that are mounted on the wall are often used. Typically, decorative items are located on the upper shelves, and frequently used items are located on the lower shelves.

For creative people who like to change their decor frequently, Ikea produces shelving models with wheels that make it easy to change the entire look of a room without any extra effort.

In some cases, not one, but several different models of shelving are used in one room, combining or, conversely, contrasting with each other. Designers use one model to break up a room, and the second is used for everyday little things and can be mounted on the wall or placed in another place.

The number of options for using Ikea shelving is endless. Therefore, when choosing furniture, you should first select a model to suit your needs, and only then select the color and other parameters.

How to properly place a cupboard

It would be more logical to place the cabinet in which the dishes are stored near the dining group. This is possible if the living room is large and accommodates a table and chairs. There are even entire furniture collections for living rooms, consisting of one or two display cases for dishes, a chest of drawers with a mirror and a dining group.

In a small apartment where the kitchen is located in a separate room, a sideboard or cabinet in the living room has a more decorative function than a practical one. If the cabinet is part of a single set, it can be located in line with other items. And if the cabinet does not belong to the furniture collection, then it is arranged depending on the taste of the owners. It is advisable that light from a window falls on it or that backlight lamps are built-in.

A buffet or sideboard can become a border that will divide a large room into functional areas. For example, to separate part of the kitchen from the area where the upholstered furniture is located. In some interiors, two narrow cabinets for dishes, placed on the sides of a fireplace, chest of drawers, door or window openings, look original. This arrangement will emphasize the traditional style of the interior. Low cabinets provide additional surface space where dishes or a TV can also be placed

And hanging models can become a kind of accent point that will distract attention from the shortcomings of the living room, for example, a small area or irregular shape

I have always dreamed of a large home library in a separate room, where there would be a small, soft sofa-couch, and huge shelves covering the entire wall. If you live in a small apartment, you are unlikely to be able to afford such a large scale right away. But you can start small: a home library is not necessarily a separate room, but maybe a small cozy corner in a studio apartment. All you need is to furnish this place stylishly and comfortably.
