IKEA hacks & ideas in the children's room

With a little imagination and clever ideas, simple IKEA furniture can be transformed into individual favourites in no time at all. With our customised adhesive foils and accessories, you can transform IKEA classics into real eye-catchers and functional everyday helpers for the children's room. Are you ready to give your furniture a personal touch?

1. Pimp your Play kitchen  according to your taste

Turn your IKEA play kitchen into a real eye-catcher for your home. With our custom-fit foils and other accessories such as wooden handles, you can customise it to your taste in no time at all - without any manual skills.

2. The KURA Bed

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 use the IKEA KURA first as a low bed and later as a bunk bed when the kids get older.

6. LACK side table in the children's room

Almost everyone has one of the popular tables from the IKEA LACK series at home. But the simple furniture is not really an eye-catcher. We'll show you how to transform the LACK tables into creative individual pieces for your children's room. With a few clever moves, you can transform the tables into your own play worlds. From streetscapes to parlour games, there's something for everyone.

7. The changing table topper for the HEMNES chest of drawers

Transform your IKEA HEMNES chest of drawers into a stylish and safe changing station in no time at all! The changing table topper can be easily attached to the existing piece of furniture. After nappy changing, you can easily remove it and continue to use the chest of drawers as usual. This is how you combine functionality, organisation and a modern design for your baby's room.

organisation is half the battle - this also applies to the children's room! With our practical organiser stickers, you can store toys and clothes perfectly and find everything again quickly. Thanks to the symbols or labelling, even children know which toys belong in which drawer. Say goodbye to chaos in the children's room!
Tip: order stickers with symbols can also be "read" by small children!

Welcome to the world of IKEA hacks!

Creative IKEA hacks for children

Stylish furnishing highlights can be conjured up from simple IKEA furniture, especially in the children's room. You can decorate according to your child's personal interests and create a dreamy children's room with simple means and clever IKEA hacks. The minimalist Scandinavian design of IKEA furniture provides the perfect basis for unusual children's room ideas. And you don't have to limit yourself to children's furniture, because you can also transform the real classics from IKEA into special play furniture. Do you still have an old BILLY shelf in your study that you no longer need? With a creative IKEA hack, it's great fun to play with in the children's room.


Original IKEA hacks made in a flash

Of course, there are many great examples of elaborate IKEA hacks that will turn your child's room into something really special. After all, you can achieve a lot with colourful paints and varnishes as well as skilful drilling and hammering. But you don't have to bring a lot of time and craftsmanship to make your home more individual. At Limmaland, we offer you very simple solutions with our high-quality adhesive films to personalise your IKEA furniture to your liking. Whether you want to spice up your chest of drawers, old wall shelf or second-hand play kitchen - you'll find the right ideas at Limmaland.


Perfectly fitting decal for your IKEA hacks in the children's room

The side table becomes a LEGO 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.
