The perfect IKEA nursery: stylish, functional and affordable


Babyzimmer mit Teppich

Are you expecting your little miracle soon and can't wait to furnish the nursery? You can rely on our favourite Swedish furniture store! It offers something to suit every budget and taste, making it a popular and trustworthy option for designing your nursery. We want to accompany you on this exciting journey and give you an overview of the many possibilities IKEA offers for furnishing a stylish, functional and affordable nursery.

Reasons to choose an IKEA nursery

1. Stylish design that grows with your child: One of the best features of IKEA furniture is its versatility and timeless design. When furnishing a nursery, it is important to think about the future. Many IKEA furniture items are designed to grow with your child. One example is the GULLIVER cot, which is height-adjustable and can later be converted into a toddler bed with removable sides. This means that when the time comes, the IKEA nursery can be transformed into an IKEA children's room without much effort or new purchases.

2. Functionality first: A nursery must be functional in order to meet the needs of your little one. IKEA offers a wide range of functional solutions that make your life easier and save you money in the long run. In addition to beds that grow with your child, IKEA also offers convertible changing tables. Once your little one is out of nappies, you can easily convert the changing table into a normal chest of drawers, a desk or a practical shelf – without needing any special DIY skills.

3. Affordable for every budget: Furnishing a nursery can be expensive, but IKEA is known for offering affordable furniture and accessories. Whether you have a small or large budget, IKEA has products to suit every pocket. For example, the SNIGLAR series offers affordable yet high-quality baby furniture such as beds and changing tables. And the best thing is that they can be easily combined with other IKEA products to customise your nursery.

 4. Safety first: When furnishing a nursery, safety is paramount. IKEA attaches great importance to ensuring that its furniture meets the highest safety standards. The furniture is made from high-quality materials and is tested for safety.

Nursing chair in the nursery 

To complete the nursery, a chair for breastfeeding or bottle feeding is a must.
IKEA offers a range of armchairs with or without footstools that provide the perfect place to cuddle. A popular choice for the nursery is the STRANDMON armchair, which not only looks stylish but is also quite affordable.

Storage solutions from IKEA

It's amazing how much clothing, toiletries and toys a little person needs. The space in the changing table and wardrobe is quickly used up. To keep the nursery tidy, you need sufficient storage space in addition to the basic furnishings. Fortunately, IKEA offers a wide range of practical storage solutions that are specially tailored to the needs of you and your little one.

The SMÅSTAD system is available in different sizes and colours, so you can adapt it perfectly to your nursery.
  2. KALLAX shelves are extremely versatile and ideal for storage in the nursery. With its open compartments, the KALLAX shelf allows you to display toys, books and decorative items in a clear and organised manner. At the same time, you can also place baskets, crates or storage boxes in the compartments to organise smaller items and make the shelving even more functional. The KALLAX shelving unit is also available in different sizes and colours.
  3. The TROFAST series offers a wide range of modular storage solutions designed especially for children. With its drawer and boxes, TROFAST furniture allows for the clear storage of toys, clothing and other baby items.

The FLISAT wall storage unit as a decorative mini clothes rail or bookshelf: the perfectly fitting FLISAT decal from Limmaland makes the nursery even cosier. And you decide how to use the wall shelf in the nursery. You can either use the shelf as a bookshelf, as recommended by IKEA, or as a hanging clothes rail for rompers, dresses or sleeping bags. To do this, simply mount the wall storage unit the other way round.

The IKEA RÅSKOG rolling shelf as a mobile changing station : The practical RÅSKOG rolling shelf can be converted into a mobile changing station. Simply fill the baskets with all the necessary changing accessories. This means you always have everything you need for nappy changing within reach and can move it around flexibly and park it wherever suits you best. Later, the RÅSKOG can serve its actual purpose as a serving trolley in the kitchen or as an organisational aid for crafting.

Attention to detail with furniture handles : Want to spruce up the cupboard doors or chest of drawers in the nursery in just a few simple steps? Then discover our handles from Limmaland.

DIY learning tower for little kitchen helpers : Time flies and before you know it, the little ones can stand and walk on their own. A phase of curious exploration begins. With the BEKVÄM stool and the yard goods familiar Limmaland motifs, you can build your own IKEA learning tower and take your favourite people with you, e.g. while cooking.

Learn to walk with the FLISAT stool : The stool from the FLISAT series is not only suitable for sitting, but also helps your child learn to walk. Of course, there are also Limmaland adhesive films with great motifs for the FLISAT stool. When the customisable and personalisable stool is not in use, it becomes a great decorative item and eye-catcher in the nursery.
