IKEA Canary and Balearic Islands, expert in the everyday life at home of all people presents their collection of basics, to transform those few square meters into a comfortable and functional corner with personality.
1. Boxes, baskets and organizers that you didn't know you needed (but you do):
Desk organizers allow you to transport materials easily, while foldable boxes, SKUBB organizers or baskets that fit under the bed will help you keep your things under control.
Organizers SKUBB, PÄRKLA and SOCKERBIT boxes: perfect to hace everything at hand (and out of sight).
2. Beds that do more things than you on a Monday:
Sleeping and storing clothes in the same piece of furniture? Of course. Beds with integrated drawers, like the ones in the BRIMNES series o the VIHALS trundle bed, give extra space without having to battle with your backpack every week.
BRIMNES bed: extra space without taking extra space.
3. Desks that adapt to que se adaptan a tu caos:
So that studying is not an impossible mission, IKEA has compact tables, comfortable chaits and lighting with style. Add a SKÅDIS pedboard with hooks and shelves and you will have the office of your dreams... in less than a square metre.
SKÅDIS pegboard: when your wall decides to be more organized than you.
4. Decoration without tools (and no drama):
Whether you share an apartment or you're still living with your parents, you want a space with personality. At IKEA you have curtains that can be placed without a drill, boards to hang over the desk, adhesive LED lights and cords for pictures than can be sticked with tape. The right things to reflect your style without having to make great changes.
ROLFSTORP adhesive LED: in case your room needs a litte bit of love (and there isn't much natural light...).
