interior design - lovefromberlin.net's boho bedroom

interior adventures is a series all about my adventures (& misadventures) in re-doing and re-decorating my flat.

A few weeks before I travelled to Italy, I made a stop over at Ikea. And of course, in true Ikea fashion, I went in with literally 1 thing in mind – a clothes rack – and left with heaps more. Whilst there, I found a few new plant friends, an amazing little table-tray (is that even a word?), as well as some new tea towels, a drying rack for dishes, a new fitted sheet (ughhhh so soft), new salt and pepper shakers (my duo one with the squeezy handle snapped because apparently I am the Hulk), a new shower curtain (because mine always turns green/blue at the bottom from my hair), a foot stool for under my desk (because my feet always dangle due to my height – or lack thereof) and a few other things I have since erased from memory in an attempt to assuage my guilt forgotten. Still working on those witchy and boho details as well as trying to come up with some wall decorations – more specifically for the wall above my bed (as you can see in the last photo, it just looks a bit too bare above the bed) – and a platform for my mattress, but all in all I am really satisfied with way things are coming together so far.

  • Elizabeth Hisle

    Oh girl, I know that Ikea pain. Every time we go to Ikea we buy things we somehow needed and didn’t know it. At least, I’m still saying we needed them. Your room is coming along beautifully though. I need to do some serious work on my apartment!

      Well, to give myself some credit, I have definitely used everything I bought from Ikea! Thanks so much, Elizabeth!

    • rae

      Thanks so much, Harija!

  • I love the simplicity of your flat. Wish there was an ikea close to me – but then again maybe it’s a good thing there’s not because I’d probably come away with a million and one things too.

    • rae

      Thanks, Monica! And it’s prooooobably a good thing for the very reason you state! The ikea in Berlin (well actually we have a few) is just far enough from me that I do not always want to go but close enough that I can make the occasional visit.

  • Ikea is always somehwere I go with a few things in mind and end up leaving the place with more than I can carry haha. I just love your style, your place looks amazing and it has such a warm, cosy feel to it too x

  • It’s looking super lovely :) Also how bad is Ikea for overspending – gosh, I’m sometimes glad our nearest store is hours away!

    • rae

      Thanks so much Fee, and yes, Ikea can be such a bad place when you are low on money!

  • Oh wow, love your bedroom! I’m always torn between buying from Ikea or trying to find more individual pieces but I have found over time that Ikea pieces give you that blank canvas that really show off other more individual and unique items in your home. And it doesn’t hurt that it is way cheaper!
    Lovely to find your blog! I love it!

    sunshineandglow.blogspot.com

    • rae

      Thanks so much, Inma! And yes I agree but I think the best is when you mix some Ikea pieces with some unique pieces. That is what I have done in most of my flat.

  • Your decor is so gorgeous :) I love how you’ve made the clothing rack a focal point in your room

I am also working from home currently so I really want to enjoy the space I am in since I spend so much time in my flat!

    • rae

      Right? I love it and have already put it to good use!

  • You’re room looks so pretty yet I like how you’ve kept it quite simple. I’m starting to appreciate the less is more approach, so I’m trying to de-clutter… And I think it’s hard for anyone to walk into Ikea and not walk out with a whole bunch of extra things that they didn’t go in for.

    Samio
    http://www.samio.co.uk

    • rae

      Thanks so much, Samio! I love the less is more approach too, but do like a bit of whimsy in the form of vintage “clutter” too :) And yes, Ikea is basically like kryptonite for humans.

  • Your room is beautiful! I love every single detail, it’s so pretty!

    And I feel you on the IKEA thing, there was never a time I went into a store didn’t come out with 5 more items than I needed. It’s so hard to resist!
    I had to laugh when you mentioned the shower curtain because I know your struggle! I used to have dip dyed hair (pink tips) and the color was semi-permanent which in reality meant re-dyeing every week, which left my shower(curtain) a mess :D

    http://www.rosegoldheart.blogspot.com

    • rae

      Thanks so much, Rose! And yeah, Ikea and impulse buying go together unfortunately! And yes, that is the only downside of having colored hair – well that and having to constantly re-do it. all my doors and pillows are blue too D:

  • Your room is gorgeous! I love how you have decorated/styled it. It’s so pretty! Love your coat hangers by the way x

      Thanks, Rivania!

  • Ahh, your room is so lovely! I love the low box shelves and your copper coat hangers are gorgeous! I think even if I end up moving into a place with built-in wardrobes I’ll probably still have a rack in my room for my favourite clothes because it adds a lot of personality to a room and if you enjoy collecting and wearing lots of different clothes why not keep your favourite things on display?

    jessica – littlehenrylee.com

    • rae

      Thank you so much, Jessica! Yes, I really think having a rack just sort of adds this awesome style element that I am such a fan of. And I agree it’s kind of like a favourite curated collection.
