IKEA's New May 2026 Price Drops: Two Couches That Fit Perfectly In A '60s Style Living Room

If your living room has a mid-century '60s style or you're currently working on redecorating to match that particular aesthetic, you'll know that you want furniture and furnishings in bold but warm colors, like olive, brown, mustard, or even orange. Warm wood furniture also plays an important part, as do pieces that are more rounded. While there's plenty of popular '60s decor you can find at the thrift store, it might surprise you to learn that even new pieces from IKEA can suit a more retro style, as well. In fact, the store has just dropped the May 2026 price on two couches that might just be what you're looking for — the LILLESATER two-seater sofa ($100 off) and the SALTMYRAN sofa ($50 off).

The LILLESATER has a delightful, rounded shape that will transport you right back to the 1960s as soon as you see it. In fact, it's the seating trend from the '60s that's making a comeback in 2026. The fabric cover is polyester, but it has more of a wool feel, while remaining durable and easy to care for. What you'll appreciate even more is that spills just wipe off and won't stain or leave a mark. This particular sofa is also available as a three, four, and five-seater, and all of these have price drops right now.

On the other hand, the SALTMYRAN sofa is more budget-friendly and has a squarish silhouette with industrial-looking black, powder-coated polyamide legs. Once again, this sofa will fit perfectly into a 1960s living room, thanks to its more simplistic styling.

Whether you choose the rounded LILLESATER two-seater sofa at $799 or you prefer the more budget-friendly SALTMYRAN at $349, both styles can fit seamlessly into your living room. They both have fairly low backs, which is quite common for that era. Plus, the seating is relatively firm, making it utilitarian, which means it's easy to get back up again after you've been seated for a while. Once you've chosen your style, it's time to select the color. To ensure you select colors to decorate with for a '60s aesthetic, the SALTMYRAN would be perfect in the blue shade to match other furnishings in your room, while the LILLESSATER would be ideal in the mustard-yellow shade.

If you're going for the more curved style, you can also get swivel chairs and ottomans in the same silhouette, which would round off your living room aesthetic perfectly. Add to this a geometric rug and some rounded lampshades, as well as a few pieces of wood furniture, and your look would be complete. With the square option, you might like to add a similar geometric rug, a wood coffee table with steel legs, and, of course, some wooden bookshelves. Don't forget a cushion or two, but keep it minimal so that you just have one cushion at either end of the sofa. While there were only one or two reviews from customers, so we can't tell you how well they've been received, these couches do come with a 10-year limited warranty.
