Discover new possibilities behind every mess with IKEA
Organizing our life can be such a chore, probably because it starts in spaces where we mostly spend our everyday lives. According to the Life at Home Report by Swedish home furnishing brand IKEA in 2022, only 33% of Filipinos find that we are in control of the way we tidy up our home. More research goes deeper than that, saying that our perceptions of mess are tied to household tensions almost 50% of the time among familial and shared spaces. It’s simple, really: Clutters can spark quarrels!
There’s no denying we owe that collective practice to our rich maximalist culture mixed with generations of strong family bonds. This ubiquitous home aesthetic is also defined by fragments of our identities and even legacies in the form of memorable trinkets and sentimental possessions populating every nook and cranny of our house. But what if we integrate tactical, tangible solutions to these beautiful messes in our lives? One that will remind us of things that matter, no matter where they are placed?
This has led to a philosophy that IKEA stands for, “Life is messy, and we love it.” A reflection that pieces of us need not be an ugly sight.
Additionally, they can be neatly stored for posterity and harmony that lead to more stories. “At IKEA, we aim to empower every Filipino to find balance amid the chaos and be able to thrive through efficient tools. It has always been here to accommodate the various aspects of our lives, including our messes artfully tucked away in cleverly designed shelves and cabinets,” says Daniel Rivero, IKEA Pasay City Store Manager.
