IKEA - A Creative Haven



I really love anything creative. It's just now in my adult years that I've discovered my creative side. My interest in creative stuff grew in me over time. As of the moment, I'm loving interior designing stuff. So, it was really a treat  to visit a creative place such as  IKEA.

Ikea store in Tampines, Singapore

Ikea is an international home product  designs company which is founded in Sweden in 1943 by then a 17 year old Ingvar Kamprad.  According to wikipedia, Ikea is actually the acronym of the founder's name, the farm and the hometown he came from.  The company came about from the founder's innovative idea to designed and manufactured functional home furnishing products at low prices. Ikea has wide-range of products that caters to the consumers need for every part of the home and even office space.

THE HOME SPACE 



I like the simplicity of the furniture in this Living room. All white and clean. The cabinet has lots of compartments. Very functional!

The Kitchen area was tastefully designed! Look at those chairs so artfully made!

 You can make a a small kitchen look spacious with these modern style furniture. I love the idea of putting those over head lights!


I believe that it is important to have a cozy Bedroom so you can have a good night sleep. Below are photos of different bedroom styles.
This one is a minimalist type. I want those wall lights!

Bedrooms for Kids!

 The kids also have a place to explore in Ikea. They provide child friendly furniture, which are very useful and creatively designed.

I heart the heart-designed wallpaper and the see-through bed canopy! Sooo cute!


Don't you just love the artwork on the wall?


Kids would love the idea of sleeping on camping tent every night. Great idea for a double-deck bed.


THE OFFICE SPACE AREA

Aside from Home Furnishing, Ikea also has product lines for office space. From desks to chairs down to papers and pens!

 This is a room which can also be converted to a closet area. Wow, I want to have this space in my home someday!
Lots of creative stuff around can't help but take photos.
There are wall paintings too! Sooo nice!
I admire Audrey Hepburn.
After  scouting the entire store, going from one department to another, I was famished! Good thing Ikea also has its own food court. The cinnamon bun was delicious. A must try!
