IKEA introduces trauma-informed model home

VIEW ALL PHOTOSSAN ANTONIO - IKEA has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative with the opening of a unique model home at their Live Oak location.

Unlike any other home, this model residence is constructed using the principles of trauma-informed design, marking a significant milestone in IKEA's commitment to creating spaces that prioritize healing and well-being. Trauma-informed design is a specialized approach aimed at meeting the needs of individuals who have experienced trauma, with the goal of fostering environments conducive to healing and recovery. By incorporating elements that promote safety, comfort, and empowerment, trauma-informed design seeks to support individuals on their journey towards healing.

According to IKEA, this model home represents the first step towards integrating trauma-informed design principles into their product offerings. By conducting research during the in-store phase, IKEA aims to gain insights into the effectiveness of trauma-informed design and its impact on users. Upon completion of the research phase, IKEA plans to donate a home to a supportive housing community in San Antonio, further extending the benefits of trauma-informed design to those in need.
