Get an Ektorp armchair,Violet (2025) Lack side table, Aina throw pillow, and Solvinden string lights and you're set for your Stranger Things living room design. Throw in some alphabet paint on the wallpaper and you're basically in Hawkins, Indiana.
The Swedish furniture superstore IKEA scoured its vast inventory to re-create sets from three iconic TV shows: Friends, The Simpsons, and Stranger Things. As part of its Real Life series you decorate a room to look like the TV version or pick and choose items like a Majalisa colorful pillow that would definitely be on the couch in Monica Geller's apartment from Friends.
The series only is available through the United Arab Emirates version of the store's website, targeting consumers there. (It also explains why items are listed in dirham, the UAE currency.) The Drum reports that the TV-inspired rooms will come to life at some stores across the Middle East. But it's mostly a print and online ad campaign.
No matter, the series offers inspiration for living room designs based on "iconic living rooms of the most beloved families of all times." And since all the products are identified by their names in the IKEA catalog, you don't have to live in the UAE if you want to rep your fandom in your living room.
