Welcome to IKEA’s Old Home Makeover Gallery.
We understand that making a traditional space comfortable for two
is a true test of spatial wisdom.
As experts in home furnishing inspiration, we’ve hidden four design
details in this room to help spark more joy in your relationship. ⇊
First, let's look at the sleeping area. As you can see, this bed frame with powerful storage functions easily solves the common problem of limited storage in old houses.
What makes this setup special is the use of two duvets with different warmth levels. This reflects the reality that partners often have different body temperatures and sleeping habits. "One duvet for each" allows you to accommodate each other’s needs, ensuring that intimacy is no longer a burden, but a comfort.
In the corner of the room, we’ve created a "Me Time Zone" specifically designed for small spaces. A comfortable white armchair, paired with a floor lamp and a flexible mobile trolley. Even in a shared bedroom, this spot offers you a moment of solitude to read, reflect, and recharge without interruption.
Now, let’s turn our attention to the vanity area. We’ve demonstrated how to make the most of vertical wall space. By using pegboards and storage accessories, you can have a fully functional grooming station even with a small tabletop. This is what IKEA does best—creating maximum living flexibility within the smallest footprint.
Finally, let’s look at this clever wardrobe design. Separate wardrobes on the left and right sides provide independent storage for both partners, putting an end to arguments over space. The low cabinet area in the middle serves as a cozy resting spot for putting on shoes or waiting for your partner to get ready—and it can also be transformed into another private corner for solitude at any time.
