A children's wardrobe helps children to get dressed independently and take care of their own clothes. The best thing is that the Montessori wardrobe can be easily realised with IKEA furniture. We have collected the best ideas for your children's wardrobe with IKEA.

The KURA cot

Children should feel particularly comfortable in their cot and process all the impressions of the day. We are big fans of the IKEA KURA loft bed, as you can set up the bed as bunk bed or low bed. With our customised accessories, you can embellish and extend it perfectly.
Tip: You can first use the IKEA KURA as a low bed and later as a bunk bed when the kids get older.

All about sleeping in the nursery

Sleeping is a big issue for little ones - and needs often change faster than you think. Whether your child is just getting used to their own bed, you're thinking about a family bed or you're wondering what safe sleeping in the nursery looks like: We give you practical tips and ideas suitable for everyday use.

Why IKEA hacks are so ingenious in the children's room

IKEA furniture is the perfect basis for creative solutions in everyday family life - simple, flexible and ready for a second life. With a few clever moves and the right foils from Limmaland, you can transform TROFAST, KALLAX, KURA & Co. into functional organisers, cool play furniture or cosy sleeping areas. Best of all, you don't need a lot of time or professional tools. Many IKEA hacks are very easy to implement - ideal for parents who want to make visible changes quickly. And because upcycling is becoming increasingly important, used furniture is also getting a new lease of life. This way, you can create a personalised children's room that suits your child, is sustainable and really fun.

Perfect fit decal for your IKEA hacks in the children's room

The side table becomes a play world, the bunk bed becomes a DINO research centre and the old shelf from the hallway gets a second life as play kitchen in the children's room. When it comes to IKEA hacks, there are no limits to your imagination! And with the customised adhesive films for furniture and walls, your DIY projects are guaranteed to be a great success. Our numerous designs enchant every children's room with style and create completely new play worlds. Little heroes, animal lovers and racing drivers will get their money's worth.

Environmentally friendly upcycling with IKEA hacks

The great thing about IKEA hacking is that you can create something completely new from used and perhaps even unloved pieces of furniture. After all, you don't always have to buy new furniture to give your child's room an exciting makeover. With a little creativity and our child-friendly stickers, you can conjure up real highlights from existing products. You can also look around for used IKEA furniture and products on classified ad portals or flea markets. With your IKEA hacks, you can remove any signs of use from the previous owner in no time at all. This will save you money - and protect the environment.
