Where simple Nordic design meets elegant touch
As an interior designer at IKEA, I remodel rooms in showroom to maintain a fresh, updated look and showcase trendy design inspirations. Using an insight from the sales department and my own research of the neighborhood, I created mood boards, personas, and interior design solutions that were locally relevant.
In this specific project, the main goal was to create a dedicated living room that showcases IKEA's newest STOCKHOLM 2025 products.

The mood board was provided by IKEA’s service office. As interior design co-workers at the local store, our task was to adapt the proposed solution to suit our market, ensuring that customers could see themselves in the new space while still reflecting the brand’s identity. The STOCKHOLM 2025 series features lighter wood textures paired with rich graphic textiles, while bold accessories and sculptural furniture set the overall tone.
After creating a mood board, I had dived into planning phase, where I get to ideate and create actual solutions for the new room. This phase is divided into three steps, which are rough planning, fine planning, and detailed planning.
During the rough planning phase, the goal is to brainstorm as many ideas as possible to explore various options and opportunities. Then, I transition into the fine planning stage, where I focus on detailed modelling using 3D software like Revit and select the right accessories that align with the personas I’ve created. Finally, I prepare all necessary documentation—design, sales, and logistics briefs— in fine planning to ensure everything stays on track for a smooth implementation.
