IKEA Hack: Multifunctional table

One play table, many possibilities! A multifunctional table for children is a great idea. This is because it encourages creative play and is also a real space saver: it offers storage space for all kinds of toys and other small items. We have collected the best ideas for a homemade multifunctional table with IKEA furniture in the children's room for you.

Build your own 3-in-1 IKEA play table

The IKEA FLISAT children's table is a real all-rounder. The small table made of beech has recesses for the IKEA TROFAST boxes. This creates storage space under the removable table top for pens, building blocks, etc. The two-part table top is simply placed on top of the boxes and the chaos is gone.

If you cover the reversible table tops and the recessed boxes with different design decal, the result is a creative 3-in-1 play table.

Step-by-step instructions for a multifunctional table

Preparing the film

To make it as easy as possible to apply the films, we recommend that you cut the films at the cut edges.

Stick on your favourite motifs

Now stick one of your game foils for the IKEA FLISAT table on one side of the two-part table top. Turn it over and stick on the second motif. Finally, glue the decal onto the lids of the boxes. Your multifunctional table is ready.

IKEA FLISAT as a sensory table

Another great idea for the FLISAT model is the sensory table. A sensory table is a real playground wonder in a small format! You can fill the recessed boxes with a wide variety of materials - from modelling clay to crackling natural materials. This invites your child to explore with all their senses: feel, see, hear, smell - and of course be amazed!
