Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Catalogue launch 2015 communication campaign focused on family with kids. “Solutions for happy and comfortable life of families with children”. The study conducted specially for the project showed that the bedroom is not only an important, but a very special room at home (70% of Russian houses have a bedroom, according to GFK, PAN-Russia, 2013). In theory, the bedroom is for recreation, comfort, relaxation, pleasant emotions. However, on practice the bedroom loses its romance, warmth and emotions due to functional limitations, inconvenience of planning, the imperfections of space, lack of quality furniture, decor, etc. IKEA has decided to bring back love" into people’ bedrooms inspiring them with affordable and realistic solutions.
