Ideas and inspiration
Bring joy home
Enjoyment is one of the eight essential needs for a better life at home. Yet, 40% of people in Latvia say enjoyment is important to them — but don’t often experience it in their own homes. Among those who rarely or never feel enjoyment at home, just 31% say they’re happy with their current life, well below the national average of 55%. Our homes play a powerful role in our overall happiness. More than just practical spaces, they have the potential to uplift and inspire us. At IKEA, we believe everyone deserves to enjoy their home, and we’re committed to bring the joy back. That’s why this year’s Life at Home Report explores the topic of enjoyment: how it is experienced at home, how it can be achieved, and why it matters now more than ever.
Crisis Centre Makeover: a Home-like Space
Every year, more than 230 people turn to the largest crisis centre in Riga, called "Burtnieks", for help in the most painful moments of their lives.

Home idea with IKEA: a living room for friends
The apartment shared by three friends – young professionals fresh out of university – feels far from cozy or homey, particularly in the living room. As the hosts admit, the space is furnished with a mismatched collection of pieces they had on hand, which don’t quite work together. To make matters worse, the room is relatively dark, lacking the warmth of morning or evening sunlight. So, how can this space be transformed into something livable and inviting? Enter IKEA interior designer Janet, ready to work her magic.
Home idea with IKEA: a room for hobbies and relaxation
Which rooms are the hardest to furnish? Naturally, those with multiple functions!

IKEA’s interior designer shares valuable tips on how to effectively organize multi-functional spaces, creating a harmonious environment that supports both activity and relaxation.

An interior designer offers advice on zoning the space effectively and finding enough storage for the abundance of belongings that children tend to accumulate.
