IKEA : Live at Home Report 2025

Ulises Studio is proud to partner with IKEA on its latest Life at Home Report 2025, which reveals that a third of people don’t experience enough joy in their home. In response, we set out to explore how design can inspire more happiness in everyday living.

Together, we created a collection of conceptual ‘imaginary rooms’—each reflecting one of the biggest trends shaping home enjoyment today. From Bedrotting and Kidulting to Dopamine Decor, Biophilic Design, Big Talk, and Smart Home Harmony, these six unique universes bring IKEA’s insights to life while featuring real IKEA products that people can incorporate into their own spaces.

As our homes continue to evolve, so do the ways we find joy and comfort within them. This year’s IKEA Life at Home Report highlights six key trends shaping how we live, relax, and connect in our spaces. From playful nostalgia to nature-inspired sanctuaries, each trend offers a unique perspective on designing a home that truly reflects personal well-being.

‍

Bedrotting – Embracing the comfort of staying in bed for extended periods, turning it into a multifunctional space for relaxation, work, and entertainment.

Kidulting – Rediscovering the joy of childhood through playful, nostalgic design elements that bring a sense of fun and whimsy into the home.

Dopamine Decor – Designing spaces with bold colors, patterns, and textures that spark happiness and boost mood through vibrant self-expression.

Biophilic Design – Integrating nature into the home through plants, natural materials, and organic shapes to create a calming, restorative environment.

Big Talk – Creating spaces that encourage deep, meaningful conversations by prioritizing cozy, intimate layouts and inviting communal areas.

Smart Home Harmony – Blending technology seamlessly into home life to enhance convenience, comfort, and well-being without overwhelming the space.
