Mastering minimalism is all about decorating with a handful of pieces that are high impact. Case in point: Ikea’s Soderhamn Sofa, whose streamlined composition earmarks it as a truly statement worthy piece. Its relatively affordable price tag is also a major draw. Pair the furnishing with a similarly-toned landing pad, and a whitewashed or gray side table, for a monochromatic yet eye-catching finish. Psst! Florals or potted greens will also go a long way.

Old meets the new in this colorfully-fueled playroom, beautifully decked for the little ones. Bright red, vintage Ikea chairs come paired with a modern children’s table and a spanning wall of equally vibrant books and art, resulting in a finish that leaves little else to be desired.

There’s nothing quite as versatile as a sheepskin. This cozy, decorative accessory becomes an essential during the colder months, ushering itself in as a mainstay of the season. Paired with a wicker seat, it immediately imparts a space with a Scandinavian-inspired touch. It also works well when set at the foot of a bed or casually draped at the end of the sofa.

This colorfully curated living room comes furnished with a selection of chic steals from IKEA (sofa, mirror, floor lamp, and even the coffee table!), proving that budget-friendly style is possible.

See who calls this light-filled Brooklyn apartment home.

The TARVA nightstand is reinvented with a burnt orange paint and sleek leather pull, seamlessly blending in with the dynamic backdrop. An eclectic trio of glass vases carry sprigs of eucalyptus for a colorfully fragrant touch.

Featuring a bamboo top and powder-coated base, this minimalist desk can double as a blank canvas for the home office or entryway. Psst! We love the idea of using it as a statement piece to house bright greens.

instantly elevate this minimalist kitchen.

The LACK shelves may be considered a standard, but there’s nothing ordinary about this setup. A curated assortment of books and decorative accents earmark this spot as the room’s focal point.

Paired with a set of brass peg legs, the IVAR gets a major upgrade with a dreamy shade of forest green.

The HONEFOSS mirror makes for quite the statement piece, especially when paired with hanging greens.

Two-tone cabinets with chic brass hardware help reinvent this streamlined IKEA kitchen into a color blocked showstopper.

The SINNERLIG‘s rustic-meets-minimalism look allows the collection to seamlessly blend in within a variety of decorative aesthetics. We’re seriously coveting those matte black vases!

A wooden top shelf extends a warm touch to this mod scene, complemented by lustrous accents, rustic wall art, and fresh greens.

Conceal the standard picture ledge by painting it in the same shade as the backdrop it will sit on. Case in point: this two-tone room that comes with a chic built-in display.

We may have a thing for

but every once in a while, we’re all for taking it back to the basics. The IVAR‘s understated, wooden finish is the perfect complement to this elegant living space.

A handful of accessories from the oh-so-trendy Superfront transform this bathroom’s standard IKEA vanity into a glam scene.

We’re all for giving the BESTA a revamp featuring a bold choice of paint. Paired with an assortment of decorative objects, this streamlined chest also doubles as a nightstand.
