Furnishing ideas

Here's the problem: you need to fit everything in a tiny hallway. Where to “lean” an umbrella, pouf, put away keys and hats? Calm down, gentlemen. There are many passages, thanks to which the hallway turns into a stylish and comfortable one:

For example, the authors came up with special multi-colored mini wall hangers for gloves and keys.

And hooks for outerwear, stylized as wood, perfectly solve the problem of arranging clothes for a large family of different ages.

A practical salvation for a cramped hallway is an open hanger connected to shelves for hats and shoes. Adherents of eco-style will love the hanger rack in the shape of a tree. This is also perceived as an element of corridor decoration.

Don't forget to solve children's problems. Choose low cabinets and hooks on the hanger for your children to suit their height. The company's assortment includes all these items.

An umbrella stand is ready to become a cute decoration find. It is modern, convenient, does not take up much space and allows you to take many umbrellas at once, as well as dry them properly after rain.

Materials and colors

The main material for the manufacture of the Besto furniture series was a honeycomb-filled panel, which:

• much lighter than traditional chipboard, so the doors do not sag or deform;
• created using less wood, which allows you to preserve the forest and implement the company’s environmental program;
• has a low cost, which allows the manufacturer to set a minimum price for finished furniture.

Inexpensive, high quality, environmentally friendly. What else does the consumer need? Of course, appearance and functionality matter.

The Besto kit may consist of:

• shelving of various sizes with glossy, matte or glass doors;
• shelving with open shelves;
• TV stands;
• cabinets for storing things.

Please note that the Besto wall TV cabinet is offered either assembled or individually, and may include additional top drawers.

Color solution

When composing your set, you can choose the decorative design of the furniture. The frame is offered in several colors - in various shades of brown, using lamination that imitates wood texture and in the classic white version in combination with bright colors.

There is an even wider selection of doors for cabinets and shelving, including:

• matte and glossy surfaces;
• imitation of natural wood;
• a wide range of colors, including pastel colors (pink, blue, beige) and bright solutions (glossy yellow).

Thanks to this, the set can fit into absolutely any interior. It is worth saying that the Kallax shelving unit from Ikea goes well in combination with Besto.

Classic

For a hallway decorated in a classic style, the following series of IKEA furniture are most suitable:

• Hemnes;
• Brusali;
• Niland.

These are laconic, but not devoid of stylish little things. To decorate the room, you can use a minimum of items. Hangers for the Ikea hallway with hooks of interesting design, a shelf for hats and an elegant white bench will be enough.

In a similar manner, you can decorate a minimalist room. Simplicity and asceticism of design reign here. Be sure to limit yourself to a minimum of things.

Stylistics

The Besto wall in the interior looks organic - straight lines, the absence of unnecessary decorative elements, makes it possible to create an atmosphere of lightness and elegant minimalism.

Scandinavian style

Light models are great for implementing the “Scandinavian style” - a house or apartment with deliberately simple elements and a lot of natural textiles. Those who want to repeat a similar design should pay attention to matte facades or give preference to glass. In this case, the wall becomes a backdrop for bright accessories, books and interesting designer items.

Minimalism

Almost all color schemes are suitable for a minimalist interior, except, perhaps, bright yellow. Pastel shades maintain an atmosphere of calm, tranquility and “decorative purity”.

Art Deco

Discreet, minimalist projects are far from the only ones where this collection looks good. The proof can be the realized projects of Besto in the interior, photos of which are presented in our article.

The system is especially popular in the Art Deco style - when creating such an emotional design, decorators actively use bright and rich colors, for example, yellow facades, combine them with calmer beige and dark brown, and complement them with accessories in the colors of young greenery.

How can zoning be done?

The design of an IKEA living room does not require reinventing the wheel; all ideas can be seen on the website or in showrooms. 3 zoning options:

• Curtain. Simple, cheap and tasteful! The manufacturer suggests using it to separate the living room from the bedroom or office. And when the distinction is not needed, it is enough to simply remove the curtain to the wall.

• Sofa. To show that one zone has ended and another has begun, place a sofa across it. Fortunately, IKEA models have neatly designed backs.
• Rack. The usual KALLAX is a great option. Simultaneously solves the storage problem and divides space.

Variety of shelving models

Making the right choice can be quite difficult. To choose furniture to your liking, it is best to use the Internet. In the catalog you can find a photo of an IKEA shelving unit, where at the same time you can immediately find suitable additional boxes or decorative items.

They will be displayed below the characteristics of this furniture. On the IKEA website you can find exactly the shelving unit that can fully highlight the style of your interior.

We organize storage

Living room interior design with ikea, start with choosing a storage system. Its type depends on the amount of free space and things that need to be stored.

If your living room requires a closet for clothes, a TV, books and other small items, choose modular walls. They combine a stylish appearance with practicality and spaciousness.

Example: OPHUS, BILLY, BESTO. Systems include floor-standing tall cabinets, wall-mounted units, closed cupboards and glass display cases.

The famous CALLAX or the budget analogue FRIDLEV will help you replace the TV stand and organize convenient storage of a small amount of things. The appearance of a cellular rack primarily depends on the content. In addition to it, do not forget to purchase baskets, doors, and drawers.

In the design of a small IKEA living room, preference is given to small wall shelves - EKET, LAKK, BERGSHULT can be attached anywhere. They are compact and partly replace spacious cabinets or shelving.

Important! White color is considered a classic, but items are available in 1-5 additional shades: from dark brown or black to bright ones, such as green.

Popular brand series

Let us note the main advantages of some popular models of a famous brand:

"Hemnes". This is a large closet with sliding doors. It has several colors - red, white, brown. Made from natural wood, solid wood. It is characterized by high capacity and is very well suited for storing outerwear.

In the hallway of the Trisil , the cabinet doors also slide apart, this makes it more compact when opening if the furniture occupies a narrow corridor. Four volumetric drawers are “braked” by a special stopper and will never fall out of their place even when heavily overloaded.

The main preferences of the “Brame” are the fabric structure of the dressing room. You can order elegant white or blue, as well as a black shade. At the top there is a bar for winter clothes, demi-season items and there is a convenient shelf. There is a lot of free space inside, which can also be filled with shelves if desired.

A young couple will like this democratic set; it is cheap in price. The furniture is easy to care for and its surfaces are easy to clean.

The most convenient furniture option from Ikea for a cramped apartment is the hallway from the Morvik . It is made of chipboard with a film coating, but has a quite presentable appearance. The doors are hinged. On one there is a convenient mirror. Available in two popular colors: wenge and white.

"Todalen" . These are universal, comfortable cabinets in which the doors can be moved to open either to the right or to the left. Available exclusively in white and gray-brown colors, with beautiful zinc branded handles.

How do designers use IKEA furniture in the interior?

We have collected several design projects in one selection, in which almost all the furniture and decor were purchased from the Swedish furniture giant

You can furnish your apartment stylishly and comfortably without choosing interior items from countless designer catalogs. Another advantage of IKEA is that in stores you can find anything: from a box for storing wires to an entire kitchen set with built-in appliances.

Cabinets

They have different colors and models. Products with modular closet drawers are in great demand. They are convenient because you can store various things in them, such as gloves or spare house keys.

Ikea cabinets are distinguished by their strength and durability. There are new items here: models with or without a mirror.

Products with mirrored cabinet doors also have their advantages, such as ease of use, but they must be handled more carefully. The cabinets in the hallway are designed for storing outerwear. They can be corner or regular depending on the size of the room.

There is also a system of models with a seat and a shoe rack.

How to use the Besto system in different rooms

Furniture for a small living room

The IKEA Besto system in the interior of a small living room looks best in combination with a light base palette and a symmetrical arrangement of furniture and accessories. To make the room visually lighter, choose a light horizontal model with closed shelf doors and complement it with a couple of discreet miniature accessories. It is better to leave the space above the upper module free.

Background for bright accessories

This series is also perfect for those who focus on stylish and bright accessories in their home. A light, laconic cabinet without handles is somewhat reminiscent of museum cubes, which are used so as not to distract attention from interesting exhibits. Therefore, you can build entire compositions of vases, figurines, flowers and candlesticks on them. Don’t forget to update them so that the compositions don’t become boring.

To do this, you can print out new posters or make them yourself, or rearrange indoor plants.

TV shelf

If you don't like the way the TV fits into the room and it seems like it forms a garish black patch on an empty wall, look at interiors where it fits into the storage system. If you balance it with two horizontal lines of cabinets along the floor and ceiling and a vertical line with shelves on the side, you get a very organic, puzzle-like design.

Design

The design of the hallway depends on the style of the rest of the rooms in the house. Depending on this, you can choose one or another type of hallway room in the Ikea store. The options presented at Ikea are constantly changing, there is always something new and interesting.

In order to make a good design, you can invite specialists who will approach the matter professionally.

However, nothing prevents you from walking around the store and choosing products that will suit the interior of the room yourself. To do this, it is enough to take into account that the product is made in the same style and has a color that is harmonious with the entire interior.

Hallway furniture

In the hallway you need somewhere to put shoes, accessories, and important little things. And real photos of the IKEA “Besto” system in the interiors of the entrance areas prove that this furniture will cope with the storage task. It is roomy enough to accommodate shoes, umbrellas and gloves, but does not reach the floor and therefore seems more compact and airy compared to regular shoe racks.

Don't forget to complement the space with interesting accessories: mirrors, dried flowers in a vase and photographs of family members. The hallway is usually deprived of decor, and completely in vain, because it is this area that creates the first impression of the house.

Closed storage system in any room

Many people do not like completely open shelving, as dust settles on the shelves and their contents. Modules from the Swedish brand allow you to simultaneously display a collection of your favorite books or travel souvenirs, and at the same time protect them from dust.

Choose a model with two transparent doors and place important little things on the shelves.

Dark accent in a bright room

It is not always necessary to place the same furniture in a bright room, even if it is small. In many cases, completely avoiding dark accents makes the space look flat and boring. Try to choose a dark version of the modules; the Swedish brand’s assortment includes models with matte facades.

They do not look heavy, so there is no need to worry that the wall will overload the space. And if a simple dark version seems boring, try a model with a concrete façade texture.

Items you can't do without

The interior of the corridor, if you make decisions and make the right design project, will become an organized space.

When there's no place in the room to put your keys, shoes won't fit on the shelf, and the kid's bike is blocking the exit, serious modifications are needed.

The hallway should not only have IKEA cabinets; the standard set also includes other pieces of furniture:

• Shelves
• Hangers
• Stool or small bench
• Shoe maker
• Chest of drawers when usable space allows
• Mirror
• Lighting

“Besto” system from IKEA in the interior of the work area

Most likely, you won’t need a massive ceiling-height cabinet to store documents, books and textbooks, so you can try a symmetrical option with open and closed storage. The light and airy modular system is great for decorating a work area. It’s better not to overload the open part: place a couple of boxes for small items on the top and bottom shelves, fill other surfaces with folders and files, and decorate the remaining space in the center with a couple of stylish little things.

Furniture for decorating a room in a Scandinavian style

Those who are inspired by the Scandinavian style and want to implement it at home without spending the entire family budget should pay attention to this series. “Besto” can often be found in Finnish, Swedish and Danish apartments, as it embodies the principles that the residents of these countries adhere to in the design of their apartments: reliability, environmental friendliness and conciseness.

Therefore, do not be afraid to take several elements from the same series at once, but do not copy options from the Swedish brand’s catalog - let your home gradually acquire objects with different histories.

Subject for experimentation

If you start looking for photos in the interiors of the Besto wall from IKEA, you can see unusual solutions. Due to the fact that the modules can be hung at any height, there are different options for their use. For example, you can try making it a reading corner or including it in a play area. Use as a console in the living room or hallway, or as a storage system with a dressing table in the bedroom.

Or for a minimalist black and white design

Black and white design is a classic base of colors, but when using this combination, you should always remember that it is better to take a shade of white as a basis, and use black as an accent.

Plant stand

Houseplants placed on window sills look boring and, as a rule, do not really like being next to drafts and windows blown open by the wind. Therefore, for small flowers and medium-sized plants, Besto from IKEA is suitable as a stand: many florists publish real photos of such compositions in the interior.

At the same time, it is important to keep in mind the location of the modules relative to the window - after all, not all plants are able to tolerate a lack of sunlight.

Modular game

A small living room limits the choice of comfortable and beautiful furniture. The main task is to choose an option so that it is not too bulky, saves space and at the same time remains functional. A cabinet from IKEA BESTÅ BURS in glossy white will decorate the room (photo 1). The main condition is to leave free space above the module. You can decorate the cabinet with a couple of small accessories. With BESTÅ from IKEA, the living room gains its most valuable asset – space.

BESTÅ IKEA modules in the interior are good for their resemblance to museum cubes: straight lines, lack of handles. They do not distract attention from the main thing - what is on them. Therefore, the system will appeal to collectors of original figurines and bright interior items. If necessary, complement the simple frame of the series with a LAPPVIKEN door to get a laconic cabinet for a beautiful vase (photo 2).

It’s not easy to live without a TV these days. Even if you don’t watch the news, you definitely won’t mind spending the evening watching a movie. With a familiar cabinet for equipment, the composition may look ugly and form an element taken out of context. You can balance it using the BESTÅ TV cabinet from IKEA (photo 3). Horizontal side lines and one top vertical line turn the bulky TV into only part of a large compositional panel. The niches provided for storing additional equipment will help to beautifully organize a large number of wires. The width of the BESTÅ TV cabinet from IKEA is designed specifically for the size of the equipment and does not look bulky.

The ability to choose the color of the facades and the appearance (solid or glass) allows you to show your imagination and feel like a designer. The IKEA BESTÅ TV series offers solutions to choose from: from a simple cabinet to an impressive cabinet (photo 4).

The BESTO series is universal and looks good in any room. For example, in the hallway, where you can’t do without a cabinet: somewhere you need to put shoes, accessories and various small items. The combination of BESTÅ wall cabinets is not only spacious, but also beautiful (photo 5). Due to the fact that the structure is attached to the wall, it looks like it is floating in the air.

This way it preserves the sense of space necessary for a cramped hallway. Place a vase of flowers or a flower in a pot to decorate simple furniture.

Trendy open storage isn't for everyone. First of all, it is not always possible to maintain perfect order on the shelves. Secondly, you have to deal with dust more often. Beautiful closed storage is possible with various combinations of the BESTÅ series (photo 6). Choose different colors and types of facades, combine them, create a unique look for basic furniture.

Furniture as decoration

It is no coincidence that the BESTO series is presented in different colors. The company's designers recommend not to be afraid of the dark shade of furniture and feel free to experiment even in small rooms. In this case, the BESTÅ IKEA TV stand becomes a necessary color accent (photo 7). There is no need to be afraid that the furniture will look heavy: blank facades can be replaced with glass ones to make the structure easier to perceive. For the brave – the texture of the furniture resembles concrete: a bold decision that will not go unnoticed by guests (photo 8).

IKEA BESTÅ furniture for the living room is also great for organizing a work area (photo 9). A low cabinet with open and closed storage will help organize documents and notes. In the open part you can store books and some small items. In the closed room there are folders and files, papers and office supplies.

A contrasting wall is a bold design move that requires carefully selected furniture. It is important to make sure that it will highlight the texture and color of the surface without distracting attention from it. BESTÅ furniture comes to the rescue again: laconicism and simplicity of color will help not to lose the creative idea and will give the opportunity to solo it (photo 10).

If we are already talking about the style of apartment interiors, then we cannot ignore the discreet Scandinavian style.

Its charm lies in its external simplicity, which is emphasized by laconic furniture and accessories. The BESTO series is best attributed to the concept (reliability, conciseness and environmental friendliness) and at the same time will allow you not to spend all your savings on beautiful objects (photo 11).

Another undoubted advantage of the BESTÅ system is that all modules can be mounted in any sequence and at different heights. This means that you are limited only by your imagination when decorating a room. The modules can become part of a playroom, help organize a cozy reading corner and rationally use wall space (which often remains empty) (photo 12).

If you are not afraid to use furniture in an unusual way, you will like the idea of ​​turning BESTÅ modules into flower stands (photo 13). White models look especially advantageous framed by green leaves. There is no need to worry about the countertops: even when in contact with water, they are not their beauty. The main thing is to immediately wipe the puddle with a dry cloth.

What is it made of?

Furniture is made from panels with honeycomb filling. Thanks to this technological solution, the following advantages are achieved:

• Ease. The panel is lighter than traditional chipboard, so parts attached to one side (for example, doors) do not sag over time.
• Environmental component. IKEA products use a minimum of natural wood - this is how the company tries to preserve the planet’s forests.
• A price accessible to everyone. You can purchase a set for the living room for an amount of up to 50 thousand rubles.

We complete at your own discretion

Among this variety, you can choose furniture for the hallway, the living room, the nursery, as well as for a narrow corridor.

All things will be in perfect order, because storage systems can be supplemented with the following accessories:

• drawer frames;
• mats for the bottom of drawers;
• boxes with comfortable handles;
• drawer dividers;
• glass or other material shelves;
• clothes rails.

With the help of a planner-designer, according to real reviews, you can design in advance exactly what accessories you will need to organize the most convenient storage system.

How to “match” furniture to your interior

The Besto IKEA planner will help with this. To work with it, you need to update Adobe Flash Player on your computer, if this has not already been done. You can then use all of the planner's features to design a Besto storage system from the company's ready-made combinations.
