Furnishing children's rooms for allergy sufferers

Less dust, less pollen, more well-being: 6 tips for an allergy-friendly children's room

A children's room for allergy sufferers should be designed in such a way that house dust, pollen and dust mites can accumulate as little as possible. Allergies and hay fever are becoming increasingly common in children, which is why hygienic and cosy interior design is particularly important. 

A child's room suitable for allergy sufferers follows a simple principle: ' ' The more minimal, accessible and washable the furnishings, the better. With the right choice of furniture, minimal textiles and clear organisational structures, you can create an allergy-friendly child's room that is easy to clean yet still warm and inviting. We'll show you exactly what to look out for.

1. Choosing the right furniture for a child's bedroom if they have allergies

When planning a child's bedroom for someone with allergies, you should first consider which pieces of furniture are really necessary. Every additional piece of furniture increases the potential surface area for dust to accumulate. Low chests of drawers and sideboards are preferable to tall cupboards, as they are easily accessible and can be vacuumed or wiped down regularly.

Instead of textile play rugs, wipeable play surfaces such as adhesive films for play tables can be a more hygienic alternative, without allergy sufferers having to forego the fun of playing. With lovingly designed adhesive films from Limmaland ( play table), imaginative play worlds can be created in no time at all, which are also particularly easy to care for. Limmaland's high-quality laminated films can be easily cleaned with water, soap or mild detergent and prevent dust accumulation. This keeps the children's room hygienic and playtime just as colourful and creative.

2. The right bed: Sleeping in a child's bedroom for allergy sufferers

When choosing a bed, make sure it either has fairly high legs or is a bunk bed so that you can vacuum and mop underneath it easily and prevent dust and pollen from collecting. Alternatively, you can buy a bed that stands directly on the floor, such as the IKEA KURA bed. This allows you to vacuum the edges comfortably and prevents house dust and pollen from collecting under the bed. 

To ensure that even little allergy sufferers don't have to go without cheerful colours in their sleeping quarters, you can also customise the cot with matching films from Limmaland laminate.

3. Toy boxes with lids help combat house dust

Toys left lying around collect dust on and between individual pieces. Toy boxes with lids protect contents from dust and make it easier to clean surfaces regularly. Systems such as stackable boxes or modular storage solutions provide structure in everyday life. A tidy children's room is not only more visually appealing, but also much
more hygienic. TROFAST boxes from IKEA can also be easily decorated with custom-fit films from Limmaland.

💡 Tip

 Especially in children's rooms, make sure that the number of toys and clothes does not get out of hand. Regularly clear out your child's room and store seasonal clothing in boxes with lids. Too many unnecessary items are just dust collectors. You can also find the best tips for clearing out with children at :

4. Reduce textiles: No chance for dust mites

Dust mites prefer to settle in fabrics. It is therefore advisable to consciously reduce textiles in children's rooms for allergy sufferers. Washable roller blinds can be used instead of curtains. Large quantities of cushions or decorative fabrics should be avoided or washed regularly. 

Children love cuddly toys, and plush friends should also be at home in allergy-friendly children's rooms. Therefore, our recommendation is to compromise on a few soft toys and, ideally, choose them in advance so that they are easy to wash.

To ensure that the children's room remains cosy for allergy sufferers despite the lack of fabrics, you can use colourful wall decorations. With the play shop wall sticker from Limmaland, you can easily conjure up a new play world with minimal surfaces that can collect dust.

5. Proper ventilation for pollen allergies

To minimise the accumulation of pollen in your flat or house if you have a pollen allergy, remember that in the countryside you should ventilate in the evening and in the city early in the morning. Pollen levels are usually lowest at these times. It is important to always ventilate for about 5-10 minutes.

6. Pollen screens for windows in children's rooms

Pollen screens can significantly reduce the amount of pollen entering your home. High-quality models are attached directly to the window frame and can be easily removed for cleaning. Many systems filter out most of the pollen and fine dust particles from the outside air. Many screens can be easily removed and cleaned under running water.
