Nurseries, Kindergartens & Childminders: The Best Ideas for Furnishing
Child-friendly interior design: What do you need?
- Movement: Children need space and the opportunity to move around.
- Safety : Children must always be able to see a caregiver and feel safe and comfortable in the room.
- Creativity: A table for painting, crafting and creative experimentation is important for children.
- Design: An area for building and crafting is a must in nurseries and kindergartens.
- Quiet time: It should be possible to look at picture books and listen to stories in a relaxed atmosphere at the nursery. A place for afternoon naps and quiet time should also be provided.
- Eating together: Sitting at the table and eating together with the other children is an important part of the day at nursery and kindergarten.
Limmaland Hacks: Easily upgrade IKEA furniture
Limmaland accessories: practical and child-friendly
At Limmaland, we place particular importance on using child-friendly materials. Our adhesive films are CE-certified and free from hazardous solvents and plasticisers. We have no qualms about putting them in children’s hands! And best of all: applying our high-quality wall and furniture films is child’s play. And if you ever want to change the play surface, that’s no problem either. You can easily peel off the decal using a hairdryer and decorate your IKEA furniture with a different play motif. Our other accessories, such as furniture handles or the changing table topper, are also made from robust, high-quality materials, so they can withstand the lively daily routine of a nursery.
TROFAST - organisation in no time
A smooth day at the nursery needs well-organised rooms, in which children and educators:have everything to hand inside. The TROFAST shelf with its large, removable drawer is the perfect solution. Our adhesive films help to transform shelves into practical and attractive organisational aids. With themed stickers or self-writable foils, toys, craft materials and books find their place in no time at all
The TROFAST shelf is also great for personalised compartments for each child: Simply write the children's names on the writable stickers or assign a symbol to each child. The shelf can be wonderfully transformed into an eye-catcher in the room with our patterned adhesive foils or matched to the rest of the furnishings. The robust and durable films with a great design make tidying up a real pleasure
Highchair - - practical and safe through lunch
Highchairs are indispensable for the little ones in daycare centres. The ANTILOP highchair from IKEA is particularly affordable and lightweight. This makes it perfect for daycare centres. With our clever accessories and protective adhesive foils, you can make the highchair not only more comfortable, but also safer. The ergonomic footrest supports correct posture and enables little ones to support themselves while eating. For maximum comfort in the highchair, you will also find a padded seat cushion. The silicone mat for the tray and the adhesive foils for the legs are easy to clean and scratch-resistant - perfect for daily use with several children. And best of all, the chairs can be stacked to save space despite the customisations, which is a great advantage, especially in smaller daycare centres.
Play table - Creative adventures made easy
A well-equipped play table is a must in a daycare centre or kindergarten. Our customised adhesive foils transform IKEA classics such as the LACK table or the TROFAST shelf into fascinating play worlds. From small streets and imaginative landscapes to colourful board games, everything is included. The robust and scratch-resistant surfaces are ideal for intensive use in daycare centres. They are easy to clean so that everything is clean again in no time at all, even after a long day of crafting or colouring. With this hack, you can also bring variety into the daycare centre's everyday life, as the foils can be easily exchanged and the kids can discover completely different play worlds.

DIY ‘ play shop’ – practical and space-saving
The ‘ play shop’ is a classic in any nursery. It’s ideal as play furniture for role-play games involving several children. But where to put it when space is limited? Our innovative solution: the ‘ play shop’ wall sticker combined with the TROFAST shelving unit from IKEA. The lovingly designed ‘ decal’ wall sticker is incredibly easy to apply and can be removed without leaving any residue. The TROFAST shelf, with its large drawer, is ideal for storing all toys and other accessories. What’s more, you can easily adapt it to the play shop or the rest of the room’s décor using our patterned films. This space-saving and cost-effective solution is perfect for everyday life at the nursery and allows for plenty of variety.
Wall design - - A feel-good atmosphere
The design of the walls plays an important role in the mood and structure of a daycare centre room. Our wall films with colourful motifs or minimalist patterns not only create a warm atmosphere, but are also ideal for clearly identifying different areas in the room. The easy-care and hard-wearing films are quick to apply and can be removed just as easily without leaving any residue - perfect for daycare centres!
Children's Stools – More Than Just Seating
Small stools are incredibly versatile in everyday nursery life. Whether for circle time, as a craft station or to support play. With our creative stickers, you can transform plain IKEA stools into real eye-catchers. You can also use our customisable films to design a unique stool for each child, which they can then use anywhere. The robust film is also resistant to the little ones’ daily adventures.
Dollhouse - Fantasy for little explorers
A dollhouse is one of the absolute classics in every daycare centre and never fails to delight the little ones. With our themed stickers, you can transform a simple IKEA- dollhouse into a completely personalised play paradise. Whether it's a fire station, police station or workshop - every child will find their favourite world here. The durable designs can withstand intense adventures and playfully bring joy, creativity and role-play into everyday group play.
Changing table topper - Comfort and organisation when changing nappies
A changing area in a nursery must be safe, comfortable and functional. Our changing table topper , which is designed to fit perfectly with IKEA’s HEMNES and MALM chests of drawers, is the perfect solution. It is very easy to assemble and remove, so you can make use of an existing piece of furniture and then use it again as a standard chest of drawers.
The large changing surface, particularly when combined with the Changing pad, provides a safe and comfortable changing area – even as your little ones grow a bit bigger. The best thing about the changing table topper is that you can make full use of the storage space in the chest of drawers, so you always have everything to hand when changing nappies. For even better organisation in the drawer, we also recommend our organisers, which allow you to see everything at a glance in the drawer.
