The famous Swedish company Ikea has existed for more than half a century and is currently one of the most successful furniture manufacturers in its price range.
Ikea has been producing its own furniture since 1955 and its range is incredibly large. This is furniture for apartments, cottages, gardens, and there is also a large collection of office furniture and lighting.
The main advantages of Ikea furniture
Ideal value for money.
All of the company's projects are aimed at saving space and maximizing the efficiency of products, be it sliding wardrobes or a bedside table.
All furniture is clearly divided according to the style of the interior and the main purpose of the product. There are cabinets specifically for:
- Baby room.
- Bedrooms.
- Corridor.
- Kitchens.
- Hall.
It should be noted that the company provides assistance in planning the future interior, and also on their website there is a free program that allows you to create the interior of a room online based on the products available in the store.
In addition, you don’t have to go to the store; you can see the entire collection of Ikea cabinets in the photo in the catalog.
Ikea uses environmentally friendly materials, and all products have certificates that confirm the quality of the products.
Kitchen cabinets
For the kitchen, Ikea has a large selection of corner cabinets, but if necessary, there are collections with conventional options. You can choose a built-in or modular kitchen, it all depends on the size of the room and your furniture requirements.
Due to the fact that all Ikea furniture is universal, you can create an interesting interior if you take cabinets from different collections.
The fact that the design of the cabinets is of the same type is not a big drawback, since the company has developed a large assortment of interesting accessories, and has also significantly expanded the color range of the stores.
Ikea kitchen cabinets have become popular thanks to many positive reviews, where buyers note that the furniture is reliable, practical and stands the test of time with dignity.
The company provides services for delivery of goods, as well as, if necessary, an assembly specialist, but it should be noted that each product contains clear instructions in pictures and it will not be difficult to assemble it yourself.
Three whales
Whatever option you are looking for, remember the three pillars of quality on which a new mirror should “float” into your bathroom.
Moisture resistance
A characteristic that is especially significant in cramped and heavily used rooms. It’s easy to check whether your mirror meets this parameter: inspect the inside of it. Good mirrors have several layers, in addition to glass: the actual reflective layer and 2-3 protective ones, including anti-corrosion. Naturally, the wrong side should be smooth and without defects.
It is better to leave a small bathroom mirror frameless or with a corrosion-resistant frame.
Coating quality
Scratches, stains, unevenness, air bubbles frozen in the glass are excluded. All these are signs of low quality and a clear reason to refuse the purchase.
When choosing a mirror for the bathroom, try to buy a thicker sample - from 4 mm, since thin and light planes often distort images. You can conduct a small quality test directly at the point of purchase: try to quickly walk past a mirror or place a pencil perpendicular to its surface and move it from side to side. A curved mirror in both cases will produce a slightly lagging image.
Safety
Any mirror in the bathroom is, first of all, a large piece of glass. And it would be right to ask how impact-resistant and safe it is for everyday use. Pay attention to the proposed method of attaching the mirror, to its edge. The best edge is considered to be a bevel - a polished bevel at an angle to the surface of the mirror. Some mirrors may have additional security measures. For example, all IKEA mirrors contain a special film that will protect against splinters if the glass accidentally breaks.
Wardrobe in the bedroom
Especially for the bedroom, the company has many transformable wardrobes and compartment models. When choosing, you should first of all focus on how organic the closet will look in the room, as well as whether its capacity is suitable for you.
An important feature is the ability to independently think over the number of shelves and the presence of drawers, as well as their dimensions.
Each collection contains both basic color shades and unusual, youthful solutions, which makes it possible to guarantee that you will find the right model.
If you have limited space, a sliding wardrobe would be an excellent option. Thanks to the sliding mechanism, you can place the cabinet anywhere, since there is no need to reserve space for the doors, as for models with a swing mechanism.
The doors have different designs:
- there are simply plain glossy or matte options;
- Models with a mirror covering the entire door are very popular for the bedroom;
- models where small mirror elements are used as decoration; these can be interesting patterns or simply mirror stripes.
Modular wardrobes are mainly available in corner designs; they are perfect for small bedrooms and allow you to save additional space. Their distinctive feature is their capacity, which is increased thanks to the internal layout of the cabinet.
Doors vs coupes
Hinged wardrobes are increasingly being replaced by sliding wardrobes, which, on the one hand, do not take up space with opening doors, and, on the other hand, due to their large height, allow you to use the occupied space as efficiently as possible. IKEA sliding wardrobes are equipped with high quality guide elements, which allows them to remain functional for many years with daily use.
The Pax line of wardrobes offers ready-made sliding wardrobes of two or more sections with different internal equipment. The height of two standards: 201 cm and 236 cm allows you to select the cabinet to match the height of the ceilings, using it to the maximum. Different cabinet depths: 44 cm and 66 cm make it possible to make a choice in favor of storing more things or less space occupied by cabinets.
The minimum width of the Pax wardrobe combination is 150 cm. This area contains two compartments with rods for storing things on hangers and a sufficiently large number of shelves or containers for storing folded things.
Other combinations come in widths of 200 cm and 250 cm, which, with little difference in space required, provide huge advantages in storing a much larger volume of items.
Sliding cabinet doors are made of tempered glass or laminated chipboard. Classic colors: white and black, as well as shades of natural wood, allow you to choose cabinets to suit any interior.
Living room cabinets
It is very difficult to choose furniture for a living room with a small area, but interiors from Ikea solve this problem.
Several designs of modular walls have been developed for the living room, which, due to their versatility, perfectly solve the problem of storing things and do not take up a lot of space.
And most importantly, you can choose the modules you need and not overpay for unnecessary cabinets.
Bathroom mirror for every morning
The GODMORGON wardrobe has two mirrors, on the outside and inside of the door. Perhaps you are one of those people who, when asleep, can only languidly use a toothbrush in the bathroom. Or maybe you are a morning person who is ready to try on half of your wardrobe in the morning? Obviously, the mirrors for these two cases will be different. Think about what goals and hopes you have for your new bathroom mirror and feel free to go to IKEA.
Who's hiding in the closet
A rotating cabinet with a KLAMPEN mirror in the bathroom will not take up space on the floor and will provide additional storage space.
The most obvious solution for small bathrooms is a mirrored cabinet. It can be quite narrow like LILLONGEN or SILVERON. Or miniature like GUNNERN. Or it can be very spacious like GODMORGON or STORYORM. The main thing is that it will hide from view all those little things that create a feeling of disorder and, what is important, it will offer its own place for each of them. If the size of your bathroom allows for something larger, do not deny yourself the pleasure of placing a floor-length cabinet with a full-length mirror here. This will allow you to tidy yourself up from head to toe without running to the large mirror in the hallway.
Beauty requires light
How many times have you come out of the bathroom and come back again, noticing carelessness in your makeup or shaving in daylight? A STROYORM mirror placed in the bathroom will take the art of getting ready in the morning to a new level and save you time. Energy-efficient LEDs are installed along the entire perimeter, providing the necessary illumination of the face. In the STROYORM series you will also find mirrored cabinets with lighting. In addition to being economical, such lighting can create a pleasant atmosphere for taking an evening bath.
If LEDs do not impress you, you can stop at the classic examples of mirrors for dressing tables: TRENSUUM or FRECK. Both are double-sided with a magnifying mirror on one side.
Reflection of style
If you believe that a mirror should reflect not only you, but also the style of your home, scroll through the new catalog and see how our mirrors look in different interiors. The SILVERON, HEMNES and STABECK series are created for warm, cozy rooms in a country style, Provençal spirit. HILKE's space mirrors can be combined perfectly with each other and will appeal to fans of pop art. ROGRUND in a bamboo frame will organically fit into a bathroom with an eco-friendly attitude, and the STOCKHOLM mirror in the bathroom will become that neat point that will complete the image of a house in the style of the 60s.
Bathroom mirrors from IKEA
One of the indispensable attributes of a bathroom is a mirror. Its presence in the bathroom can change the perception of the room as a whole. With the right mirror, your bathroom can look much more spacious. If, however, we managed to take care of the lighting, then the interior will receive deeply individual, unique features.
The mirrors that are installed in the bathroom today are the product of exclusively advanced technologies. Thanks to the latest developments, bathroom mirrors can have any shape, large sizes, they are protected from moisture and corrosion, have significant reflectivity and do not darken. High-quality products are covered with a film that protects against splinters and allows you to avoid trouble if the mirror suddenly breaks. In order for the product to serve for a long time and never distort your image, they, of course, require care. But with modern cleaning products, it is not at all difficult to ensure proper care - just periodically wipe it with a cloth using a special glass cleaning liquid.
Bathroom mirrors with mirror frame
The framing of products in the bathroom is made of various materials. In the production of mirror frames, wood, steel, rattan, and high-quality plastic are used. Many shapes, sizes and different frames allow you to make your bathroom a real masterpiece of interior design. In some cases, you yourself can influence the shape and appearance of the frame. Various innovations used in the manufacture of mirrors serve this purpose, but it is not always only high technology that can provide many design options - sometimes it is enough to simply position the mirror differently, because most manufactured products can be positioned both horizontally and vertically. Your bathroom will look special if you can choose the right sizes and shapes that will harmonize with the surrounding interior.
You can have a bright and spacious bathroom at your disposal without incurring extra costs, because installing a new mirror with a beautiful frame is inexpensive. This is what will add color and uniqueness to your bathroom.
Layout, lighting, furniture and accessories create the interior of the room. Everything in the bathroom should be comfortable. It’s good when every thing has its place: a towel in the bathroom hangs at the right height, the mirror is well lit, shampoos and gels are located next to the shower, and toothbrushes stand together in a special glass.
A mirror is one of the most necessary items in the bathroom.
A mirror is not only one of the most necessary items in the bathroom, but also an excellent accessory that can significantly affect the perception of the space of the room. A well-placed product gives a feeling of additional space. A very important point is proper lighting. The light should be bright, but at the same time soft, not create sharp shadows or glare.
You will find a huge selection of mirrors in IKEA stores. All of them are created taking into account the fact that they will be used in rooms with high humidity; the decorative parts of the mirrors are durable and moisture-resistant. Each item is an interesting design solution that combines beauty and functionality.
By size they can be divided into medium, full-length and small, intended for procedures such as applying makeup. The shape of the product can be round, rectangular, oval. The assortment includes both classic and non-standard original models. An example of a large classic product is HEMNES, it has a rectangular shape and can be hung both vertically and horizontally. The product is presented in three colors. If the interior of your bathroom lacks a powerful color accent, choose a stylish product from the HEMNES series in a black and brown frame made of durable solid wood.
