We’ll be the first to say that we love, love, love magazines. We love perusing them and immersing ourselves in all the beautiful content they offer. Which is why we’re really excited about The IKEA Magazine. They’ve distilled decades of expertise and knowledge to guide us through the process of making our homes truly ours, and we explore some of our favorite pages from their latest issue in this special feature.
Earlier this year, IKEA announced their newest and most exciting initiative yet. Helping us all making extraordinary memories in the ordinary moments of life. And The IKEA Magazine was part of that. It is an aspirational, yet very accessible digital-only lifestyle magazine that helps us create spaces (literally and figuratively) that help us live our best lives.
The third issue just came out, and it is titled The On-Off Home: Start and Finish the Day. While you can read the magazine on your phone, it really is so much more enjoyable on a tablet or computer, so you can fully enjoy the gorgeous photos and editorials. The magazine is a great example of why going digital is a much more immersive content experience; you can find embedded videos that are part of the narrative to help us better understand and visualize IKEA’s innovative home solutions.
This issue focuses on bedrooms, since it is the place where your day starts and ends, making it an integral part of your routine. The articles are clear and concise, and have found some great tips and tricks that we will be implementing.
The first feature gives readers eight fantastic and concrete solutions to common bedroom blunders. If you’ve never created a mood board, that’s where you need to start. While most of us have a general idea of what we like, a mood board is a visual representation of your style. It will help you have figure out color schemes, textures and general style of your room.
They also reminded us that creating storage space while you are designing your room is what we should all be doing. We all know that we like our stuff and making sure that you maximize the space available to store it will keep your room neat, tidy and a much more pleasant place to be. Our all-time favorite step was figuring out lighting. Most of us used to just make sure we had a light on the ceiling and maybe a small lamp on the bedside table. IKEA suggest we should create softer lights in several places to create different vibes based on our needs. Adding some dimmable bulbs or a string of fairy lights can help create a cozy feel at the end of the day so we can relax our way to sleep.
