IKEA style
Swedish minimalist design
IKEA style describes the aesthetic associated with the Swedish furniture retailer: clean lines, minimalist design, light wood tones, and functional simplicity at affordable prices.
The term extends beyond furniture to any décor or space with that Scandinavian-influenced, mass-market modern look: Their apartment is very IKEA style—white walls, blonde wood, nothing fancy.
It can carry slight condescension, implying generic or impersonal taste.
