A home in order - from hallway to walk-in

When interior designer and lifestyle blogger Ida-Marie Isaksson and her family built their dream house in Allerum outside Helsingborg, one thing was clear from the start, this time storage was to be prioritised from the start.

Together with Studio Elfa, Ida-Marie created a home where every room has been given its own thoughtful storage, adapted to the family’s needs, everyday life and style. The result? A home where it’s easy to keep things tidy and where function meets aesthetics in the best way.

Home storage solutions, this is what Ida-Marie looks like

Adjacent to the bedroom, Ida-Marie has created a walk-in closet where Décor+ in birch combines stylish design with function. Open shelves, practical pull-out solutions and space for both clothes, shoes and accessories make it easy to keep order and get a clear overview.

The light birch details give the wardrobe a timeless and airy look that harmonises with the rest of the home’s interior.

A wardrobe where function and everyday luxury go hand in hand.

The hallway sets the tone for the entire home. Here you’ll find order, calm and well-thought-out storage that makes both the first and last impressions welcoming.

I know how much order affects everyday life. That’s why we wanted to create solutions that work right from the start.

Laundry room: Where function and order take place

Ida-Marie knew that a well-planned laundry room makes everyday life so much easier. With the help of Elfa’s open shelves and mesh baskets, there is now space for everything from dirty laundry to freshly washed items, from storing laundry detergent to a folding area.

It’s not just about making room for everything, it’s about creating a room that’s practical, easy to keep tidy and that facilitates the entire flow.

Order that frees up both time and energy, every day.

Ida-Marie’s top tips for smart storage throughout the home:

Think holistically and plan your entire home at once. Storage should act as a common thread throughout the house. Create order from the start, room by room, so you don't have to compromise afterwards.
Adapt to how you live. Think about what you actually need to store and where. Everyday needs govern, not just aesthetics. Place things where they are used to facilitate routines.
Go for flexible systems. Life changes, children grow and needs change. Choose systems that can be rebuilt, adapted and supplemented over time, like with Elfa.
Create order even in small and clever spaces. Under the stairs, behind doors or in the laundry room - any surface can become functional with the right solution. Dare to optimise every square metre.
Choose storage that looks good enough to show off. Storage should not only solve a practical problem, it should also be part of the interior design. Choose materials, colours and designs to suit your style.
Get expert help. Professional planning assistance, such as at Studio Elfa, brings new ideas and ensures that the solution becomes both smart and sustainable over time.
