Sunflowers and striped bedding refresh IKEA’s bedroom range

IKEA’s latest bedroom furniture, textiles and accessories combine bold colours with patterns drawn from nature. Botanical motifs run through the new range, which explores how small changes can make a room feel fresher, more personal and more energetic while meeting everyday needs.

Scandinavian furniture and floral textiles

The bedroom increasingly serves as more than a place to sleep. It is where the day begins, where we recover our energy and where colours, patterns and carefully chosen accessories express personal taste. IKEA’s latest products combine classic Scandinavian design with floral motifs. The GULLABERG bed frame and chest of drawers provide a visually light, timeless foundation, while the floral SÄTERVIDE duvet cover introduces a fresh, gently summery note. Cot bedding from the same collection allows a coordinated scheme in a young child’s room.

‘The inspiration for this pattern came from textiles belonging to my friend’s grandmother at her cottage in Halland. I also drew on traditional Swedish folk painting and the world of Carl and Karin Larsson. I wanted a symmetrical floral pattern that combines Scandinavian style with contemporary interiors,’ says IKEA designer Monika Forsberg.

Stripes and saturated colours

Colour can refresh a familiar room or change its character altogether, and textiles offer a simple way to make that change. Red and pink stripes on the SLÅNHÖSTMAL bedding create a strong accent, while pale-blue PILTANDVINGE softens the scheme and adds a sense of freshness.

Practical accessories also contribute colour and form. The vivid-green BAGGEBO shelving unit stores books and other belongings while giving the room a contemporary accent. The bright-orange KORVSNÖRE desk lamp provides warm light and a playful shape. Its soft, rounded outline draws attention even when it is switched off. A deep-green wall-mounted version can be used beside a desk or bed, or as ambient lighting to make a room feel cosy.

Sunflowers and bamboo lighting

Long a source of inspiration for artists and designers, sunflowers appear on the CAFEBITRÄDE cushion cover. The floral design suggests summer even when the weather outside has turned. Made from 100 per cent recycled materials, it combines decoration with a more considered approach to everyday purchases. Its soft fabric and bold pattern can change the appearance of a bed or a favourite armchair.

‘Sunflowers are a classic motif in art and design. They symbolise summer, warmth, vitality and beauty. I wanted to capture the charm of these colourful flowers in a unique pattern that combines modern and traditional details to feel both new and familiar,’ says IKEA designer Emma Prowse.

Bamboo VARPTROSS lamps reinforce this natural, summery mood. Their soft glow and relaxed, holiday atmosphere sit comfortably alongside botanical patterns, wood and pale fabrics. Rather than relying on a bold accent, their warm light makes the bedroom feel calmer and suited to everyday routines of rest.

Storage and soft seating

Even a creatively furnished room needs ways to manage everyday clutter. The LASTARE wardrobe offers simple, practical and affordable storage, with a considered internal layout that makes it easier to keep things in order and create a comfortable space for both rest and daily use. Softer furnishings can be equally useful: available in several colours, the KJUGE pouffe can provide a place to relax, an extra seat for guests or discreet storage for blankets, cushions and smaller belongings.

Vases for plants and flowers

Plants enliven a home, making it feel more natural and welcoming. Their contribution extends beyond decoration to the way a room feels and how comfortable it is to spend time there. The new GLASGRAN, KORNSPARV and PÄRLHÄGG vases are designed to work with a bouquet, a single branch or as objects in their own right. Glossy glazes, subtle colours and varied forms make them noticeable on a table, chest of drawers or windowsill.

As homes adapt to changing daily routines, accessories, textiles and decorative objects offer a way to refresh them without a major overhaul. Over the coming months, IKEA will present ideas and products for cosy, practical spaces that respond to the needs of the people who live in them throughout the year.

Textiles, lighting and accessories can quickly change a bedroom’s character, but a coherent result depends on colour, proportion and how the room works. A specialist can help with a similar refresh. Find architects, interior designers and interior photographers in the PLNDesign directory.
