Baby room areas


In the beginning, our little new arrivals have many needs that want to be lovingly nurtured. Some areas in the baby room are therefore indispensable. A changing unit, a quiet and relaxed place for breastfeeding, space for the many cute baby rompers. Whether you combine all areas in one room or just furnish one corner, it should be practical and decorative at the same time. Discover the best ideas for different areas in the baby room.

Ideas for the sleeping area

All the exciting new impressions of the day are processed in the cosy baby bed. Whether you opt for a co-sleeper or your own cot is of course entirely up to you. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and, as always, this decision depends entirely on your little new arrival.
If you decide on a baby cot, there are several models to choose from at our favourite Swedish store. Baby cots with removable bars are particularly practical. This allows you to convert the IKEA cot into a cosy couch later on. Incidentally, you can get the most beautiful design for your cot from us at Limmaland: our cute decorative foils such as the clouds promise the sweetest dreams.

  1. The decision for or against a baby cot is completely individual and depends on your personal circumstances and the needs of your baby.
  2. The choice of whether the cot will be in the parents' bedroom or in the baby's room is also individual.
  3. IKEA offers you a large selection of cots in various sizes and designs. You are sure to find what you are looking for.
  4. Tip: A bed that grows with your child can be used for longer.
  5. Matching decorative foils around the bed make the sleeping area an eye-catcher in the baby's room.

Ideas for the nappy changing area

Changing nappies will soon be part of your everyday routine. To make this as uncomplicated as possible, a changing unit is a must in your baby's room. A fixed place for all your changing utensils will help you to stay well organised. We find a changing table topper particularly practical, as you can convert an existing chest of drawers such as the IKEA MALM or IKEA HEMNES for nappy changing.
It's best to have everything organised and ready to hand - because sometimes your little one doesn't really feel like changing nappies. Then you'll be glad to have all the utensils quickly to hand. TheMini chest of drawers MOPPEis a great helper in the baby room.

  1. A nappy-changing area in the baby's room is essential.
  2. Many IKEA chests of drawers such as the IKEA HEMNES or IKEA MALM can be transformed into a changing unit with a changing table topper.
  3. The chests of drawers can be given a childlike look to match the baby's room with matching decorative foils.
  4. Tip: Our matching furniture handles add the finishing touch to the newly designed chest of drawers.
  5. The many small items you need when changing nappies can be neatly stored in the IKEA Mini chest of drawers MOPPE.

Baby room wall design

Even if babies and toddlers can absorb bright colours particularly well, they are not particularly helpful for the design of a baby's room. This is because strong and bright colours usually have an overstimulating effect and cause restlessness in babies. It is important to find the balance between monotony and sensory overload in the baby room wall colour and other decorative elements. Without sticking to clichés when it comes to baby colours, we recommend pastel and earth tones that are absolutely gender-neutral and suitable for the baby room. Our colour palette in Scandinavian pastel shades is also reflected in ourWall tattooswith simple patterns in delicate nuances. Whether on the wall or on furniture - the Limmaland furniture foils add a simple tone.

  1. When choosing a wall colour for your baby's room, we recommend opting for soft, calming tones.
  2. Add small accents to plain walls with cute and child-friendly wall stickers.
  3. The IKEA picture rails are perfect as a small shelf in the nursery. And you can conjure up the perfect baby wall decoration with the matching wall foils.
  4. Forest-style or jungle-themed themed rooms are all the rage right now. Exactly to our taste. Discover our range of animals for baby room wall decorations.

Ideas for the breastfeeding and cosy area

There should also be a cosy corner for parents in the baby's room. A cosy armchair is not only suitable for breastfeeding in the baby's room, but parents can also sit comfortably when the baby is falling asleep - if the baby is not crying.
