Living Room Ideas for Your Home in Malta

The sofa sets the tone for the whole room, so it is worth choosing one that suits how you actually live. The EKTORP two-seat sofa brings a soft, classic shape, while a STRANDMON wing chair with its footstool creates a cosy reading corner. Add a KRAGSTA coffee table or a slim TÅNEBRO side table nearby to keep drinks and books within reach.

Layer in texture with a SANELA cushion cover, a SANDBRODD throw and a STOENSE rug underfoot. A RÖDFLIK floor lamp or a VATERBOM table lamp gives you light exactly where you want to read, while a HEMNES bookcase keeps everything else in order.

A living room often has to multitask, especially in smaller homes where it doubles as a workspace or a spare sleeping corner. An EKET cabinet keeps media and odds and ends tidy, a HOLMERUD side table gives you a surface for a laptop or a cup of tea, and a BÄCKNATE table lamp provides warm, focused light without taking up much space.

A FRIDANS block-out roller blind or a HORNVALLMO pleated blind helps you control daylight whenever the room needs to feel calmer. Finish the look with a GRADVIS vase for a touch of greenery and a JÄGMÄSTARE basket to keep blankets or magazines out of sight but close at hand.

A bookcase can do far more than hold books. Start with a BILLY bookcase or an IDANÄS bookcase as your main structure, then add a BESTÅ storage combination with doors underneath for anything you would rather keep hidden. A HEMNES bookcase works well if you prefer a slightly more traditional look.

For the smaller details, an OXBERG glass door lets favourite items show through while keeping dust away, and a MOPPE mini chest of drawers or a DRÖNA box helps sort remote controls, chargers and other everyday clutter. Mix open shelves with closed storage so the whole wall feels considered rather than crowded.

A scented candle can change the feel of a room in moments, softening the light and adding a quiet layer of fragrance. Choose a TOFSTÄRNA or HÖKGÖK scented candle in glass for something floral or fresh, or a JUVELTRAST scented candle in glass if you prefer a warmer, woodier note for evenings in.

Set the mood further with a BORRBY lantern for a block candle on the coffee table, or a scattering of GALEJ tealight holders along a shelf. A PÅVEFINK lantern for a pillar candle adds height and drama near a window, making it easy to shift the atmosphere from bright afternoons to softer, slower nights.

A few well-chosen accessories can make your sofa feel properly lived-in. An ÖJULF laptop support turns it into a practical spot for catching up on emails, while a TRANERED armrest tray or a RÖDEBY armrest tray keeps your coffee or snacks steady without needing a side table.

Add a KLIPPOXEL or LAPPKATTFOT throw for extra warmth on cooler evenings, and a STOENSE or TVERSTED rug to anchor the seating area. Keep a BÄSTIS lint roller nearby for quick touch-ups, and an ÖRTRÄSK coffee table close by for everything else you want within arm's reach.

KUSTFYR is IKEA's seasonal Halloween collection, designed for playful autumn evenings with a houseful of ghosts, spiders and pumpkins. The KUSTFYR scented candle in glass comes with a ghostly or spider-inspired design, and the KUSTFYR door mat welcomes guests with the same spirited theme. The KUSTFYR LED table lamp is a battery-operated pumpkin lamp, easy to place on a windowsill or shelf for a warm, flickering glow without any cables in sight.
