Decorating the changing unit
Decorating the changing unit
The changing unit is the centrepiece of the baby's room. You and your baby will spend a lot of time there, especially in the first few months after the birth.
So why not turn this important place into a real highlight in your baby's room with a few creative ideas and lovely details that make nappy changing fun?
With these five decorating ideas, you're guaranteed to succeed!
How to pimp up your changing unit
Want to make your changing unit a real eye-catcher in your baby's room? No problem!
From practical organisers to cute wall stickers and personalised details - we've put together the best ideas for you to spice up your changing unit and make the changing area a magical place for you and your little one. Let's go!
1. Cute wall decoration
Personalise the wall behind the changing unit to suit your taste!
How about a picture ledge from IKEA*, for example, on which you can display cute picture frames with the sweetest baby photos of your little treasure or small cuddly toys? Picture rails are not only practical for making efficient use of the vertical space above the changing unit, but also create additional storage space for nappies, care products and other important baby items. However, make sure that the shelf is firmly and securely mounted on the wall.
For the ultimate wow effect, we recommend adding a wall decal above the shelf! How about a cute house, playful birds or a colourful rainbow? Or maybe even personalised wall stickers with the name of your little darling? You're guaranteed to find the right design in our shop!

Boring handles are a thing of the past! With new, trendy handles, you can give your changing unit a stylish makeover in no time at all.
We offer a wide selection of handles in our range, including star-shaped, spherical and elegant leather handles. These are available in different colours, so you can choose according to your personal style.
Whether modern, playful or simply cool - we have the right handles for you and your changing unit!
3. Clever storage solutions
Changing utensils, nappies, clothes - the baby's room can quickly become overcrowded. But with clever storage solutions such as baskets and boxes, you can bring some order to the nappy-changing chaos in no time at all organisation .
Choose baskets in different sizes and shapes to store your baby's things neatly. From fabric baskets* to robust plastic boxes, IKEA offers a wide range of storage options that are not only practical but also stylish.
And if you're running out of space at the changing table, the IKEA TROFAST shelf and the IKEA IVAR cabinet are perfect solutions for creating extra storage space in the baby's room.
4. Cool order stickers
With organiser stickers, you can always keep track of all your baby's things in the nursery.
Simply stick the colourful and child-friendly stickers on the boxes or in the appropriate place on the changing unit or cupboard and you'll always know where nappies, clothes or toys are. Makes tidying up fun, doesn't it!
5. Enchanting baby toys
Baby toys simply belong in the baby room! It's important to invest in high-quality baby toys that will help your little one learn and grow.
Mobiles and music boxes are the perfect addition to the changing table. Not only do they provide visual and auditory stimulation, they also keep your baby entertained during nappy changes.
And have you heard of the Toniebox ? It's a small music box for children that stimulates their imagination and develops their auditory perception with a variety of stories and songs. It is very easy to use and the design is specially tailored to the needs of children. Even children from the age of one can operate the box themselves. And with a cute protective film from Limmaland, the box is not only protected from scratches and the like, but also looks great!
