Everything you need for a growing child's room

With a few clever tips, you can furnish your baby's room in such a way that all the furniture can be used for many years to come. After all, little ones grow up fast – and buying new furniture every few years can be very expensive and time-consuming. A growing nursery is easy on your wallet and the environment, as the children's furniture can be used for a long time. And you don't have to resort to expensive designer pieces – even our favourite Swedish retailer offers excellent nursery furniture at a fair price.

1. Grow-with-me cot for flexible furnishing

You can opt for a flexible version even when it comes to baby beds. IKEA offers various models that can be easily adapted to your child's age, such as the SUNDVIK baby bed. You start with the classic design with bars so that your little ones can't roll out of bed at night. You can easily adjust the height of the mattress base so that you can also use the cot as a playpen. Once your child is a little bigger, you can simply remove the bars on one side so that your little ones can get out of bed on their own. And if the cot eventually becomes too small and you need to buy a larger bed, it can be used as a children's sofa and provide a place for reading aloud.

2. Practical changing table in a growing nursery

A good example of furniture that grows with your child is the SUNDVIK changing table from IKEA, which can be flexibly adapted to your needs. Once your child is out of nappies, the flap can be easily closed and the station becomes a classic changing table – without any conversion or additional furniture. Our Changing pad offers even more comfort and fits perfectly on the changing table topper from chest of drawers. The soft foam provides a comfortable lying surface, while the high-quality cotton cover is gentle on your baby's skin. The cover can be easily removed and washed thanks to the zip fastener – for more hygiene in everyday life. The result is a practical, comfortable changing area that blends harmoniously into the nursery – and grows naturally with your child.

4. Height-adjustable play kitchen in a child's room that grows with them

The classic favourite among toys is definitely the DUKTIG play kitchen. And it grows with your child too, as you can easily adjust the height of the DUKTIG play kitchen in three stages. And of course, you can always change the accessories or design of the play kitchen. So it never gets boring.
