Furnishing a small children's room
Furnishing a small children's room: Tips and inspiration
What do you really need in a small nursery
Space-saving furniture for small children's rooms
When planning a small children's room, you should also think about whether you can combine several purposes in one piece of furniture. For example, if you decide to place the changing unit in the nursery, you should make sure that it also offers plenty of storage space. You could also use a normal chest of drawers and buy a changing table topper to go with it. Then the chest of drawers can still be used when your little one is older.
Bunk bed: Space miracle in a small children's room
A bunk bed is ideal for furnishing small children's rooms. The little ones can use the space under the bunk bed for lots of different things. A cosy corner, space for a desk or a chest of drawers, a creative corner for crafting and playing.
With curtains, the part under the bunk bed becomes a small cave where your kids can retreat in peace or create their own play worlds.

More space for play accessories with the TROFAST shelf
The TROFAST shelf is particularly space-saving if you use the high shelf. This means it takes up less floor space. You can combine it particularly cleverly with other play furniture such as the play kitchen. With its practical drawer, it offers plenty of storage space for accessories and play furniture. So little chefs always have everything to hand. With the matching stickers, you can also customise the look of the TROFAST shelf to match the play kitchen.
Multifunctional table: IKEA hack for small children's rooms
Or how about a table with storage space? With the IKEA FLISAT table, you can not only open the table top from both sides laminate so that it fulfils different functions. You can also hang the IKEA TROFAST boxes on it to create more storage space! Ingenious, isn't it?
Organisation is half the battle
Children's rooms in particular often accumulate quite a lot. Toys, books, clothes, play figures... and kids grow out of everything so quickly or develop other interests. That's why it's important to regularly organise organisation . Daily tidying up simply brings more peace and quiet into the small room, which is probably already cluttered with a relatively large number of things anyway. However, it also makes sense to clear out regularly to avoid wasting space unnecessarily. Although this is annoying, it helps enormously to utilise a small children's room efficiently.
Organisation in the changing unit
With our changing table topper you can transform a standard HEMNES or MALM chest of drawers into a practical changing unit. The soft padding and compartments make changing nappies easy and comfortable. The large drawer chests of drawers help you to keep everything in organisation order and have enough time for your baby during nappy changing. With the organisers for the drawer you always have all your clothes in view and never have to search for long.
Colours, light and decorations - the finishing touches
With the right colours, atmospheric lighting and the right decorations, you can really enhance a small children's room and make it look more spacious.
Bright colours visually enlarge small rooms
A wild palette of colours of any kind can quickly make a child's room look cluttered. It is therefore best to use harmonious tones from one colour family. Light colours generally make rooms appear larger - both on the walls and on the furniture. To make the room look child-friendly, you can of course add colourful accents. If you still want to colour a wall, you should leave an approx. 2-3 cm thick white strip between the paint and the ceiling. This visually stretches the wall.
Let there be light - creating space with the right lighting
Lighting is not necessarily the first thing you think of when furnishing a children's room. However, with the right lighting, you can get a little more out of a small children's room. It is advisable not to choose a pendant light for the ceiling. Indirect lighting, such as a reading lamp or wall light, can create a sense of space and cosiness.
Furnishing a small children's room with targeted decoration
Children love colour and need it for their development. If you therefore design the walls rather simply, you can set specific colour accents with the decorations. If you make sure that the colours match, you can easily create a harmonious look.
