Home idea with IKEA: how to add coziness and create a productive vibe in an open office
Janus and Tõnis founded the company "Õpilasreisid" 16 years ago and today they offer more than 200 student trips every year, most of them in the spring period.

Home idea with IKEA: from great-grandmother's room to a cozy nest for an 11-year-old girl
4 years ago, Marili and Martin moved with their three daughters to Rakvere, where a house built by the family's grandparents in the 60s awaited them. Recently, their eldest daughter Kerttu got her own space downstairs in a room, which previously belonged to her great-grandmother. The family has not renovated the room yet, and now IKEA interior designer Caroli Heimonen is lending them her helping hand. Kerttu dreams of a bigger wardrobe, where she could hang her dresses. His parents think that the new room could be an age-appropriate and modern place where friends can visit.
Home idea with IKEA: several rooms in one go plus lots of storage
Kristin, Kristjan, and Saara live in a wooden apartment house in Tallinn. With Kristjan in a band, the home is filled not only with everyday items but also with instruments and stage outfits, though there’s no proper wardrobe system. Three rooms are awaiting transformation: the living room, Saara’s room, and a storage room – one of which will become the parents' bedroom. Kristin mentions that they are not necessarily after traditional solutions, but comfort and practicality are still key. Inspired by this lively trio, IKEA interior designer Hannele Saagpakk knows just what to do.
Home idea with IKEA: a fresh take on a 30-years-old kitchen
About the kitchen in her apartment in Rakvere, Ines said: "My kitchen is as old as I am — even the ceiling lamp is about to fall down. At first glance, it doesn’t look too bad, but the furniture is 30 years old..." She dreams about kitchen cabinets doors that actually close and hopes for the outdated wall mural to be painted over.
Home idea with IKEA: a cozy room for a preschooler
Brit and Oskar got their Aegviidu home from Brit's grandparents, who built it to be their summer getaway. For now, it has been transformed beyond recognition, both inside and out. Every room has gotten a makeover – except for the third member of the family, five-year-old Nalu. His room still sports nothing but bare plywood walls. But Nalu knows exactly what it should look like in the future. And Brit and Oscar envision a neutral but cozy room that's perfect for sleeping, playing, and in the future, schoolwork.
