Colour palette

A thick red frame containing the image of a dining area with two red pendant lamps hanging over a table with a pyramid of stacked red drinks.

Below a red floating staircase against white walls and floors are an assortment of red and white GLADOM tray tables.

You can always count on red to raise the tempo of your home and add some extra oomph. And because it’s such a powerhouse colour, the rest of your space can be a bit calmer. Pair with whites, creams, light woods and natural fibres for a winning holiday combo!

“I think GENESÖN chair is a good example of what IKEA stands for – smart design at a good price. It’s easy to assemble, made entirely of metal and has a graphic shape in playful colours inspired by modern Scandinavian design.”

Who says the party has to stay in the living room? Graphic bed and bath linens in red, black and gold pull that festive feeling throughout the whole house.

“I got carried away with big and bold graphic patterns. I started out drawing by hand. I like how the hand makes things naturally asymmetric. Random checks and wild, untamed leaves were my inspiration.”
