About — IDEA Home Design

Not too little.Not too much.Exactly enough.

The story of a Lagos atelier organised around one Swedish word.

01 The story

It started
in a workshop.

We make what we sell — and we have since 2010.

IDEA Home Design began in a workshop, with a simple conviction: the pieces at the centre of a home should be the ones made with the most care. Years on, we still sketch, prototype, and build in our own ateliers — now in Lagos and Abuja.

Make fewer things. Make them properly.
Stand behind every one.

02 Who we are

A house
of makers.

Designers, joiners, upholsterers, and one very opinionated finishing room. We design everything in-house and make most of it ourselves — which is why made to measure is not a service we outsource, but simply how we work.

Three rooms of the same house — studio, workshop, floor.

We believe —

a room should lower your heart rate.
furniture is infrastructure for living.
good materials age; bad ones expire.
trend is a tax on the impatient.

The philosophy

There is a Swedish word
we organise everything around.

Too littleToo much

1 not too little, not too much

2 exactly enough.

Balance is not a mood — it is a measurement.

01
Enough
Buy once, choose well. We would rather sell you one sofa than three.
02
Honest
Walnut that is walnut. Leather that is leather. Prices explained, not padded.
03
Lasting
Designed for decades — a leather that deepens, a wood that warms, nothing that looks tired in a year.
