Good resolutions in the children's room

Good resolutions in the nursery: 3 ideas for the new year

Many of us start the new year with good resolutions: More exercise, more vegetables and less looking at our smartphones. That all sounds wonderful - but will you be able to implement them? We have three ideas to help you with your New Year's resolutions at the start of the year.

1. Clearing out the children's room

Especially at Christmas time, a lot of new things have piled up in the children's room. Toys, books and clothes urgently need to be critically analysed again:
  1. What do we want to keep? What do we like to play with?
  2. Which toys or children's books have we "outgrown"? Which clothes have simply become too small?
  3. Which things remain unused because they are simply not interesting for your child?
We spoke to tidying expert Jasmine Dünker and put together the best tips for tidying up with children for you.

Every item gets a home

As soon as you have got rid of all unused, unloved or simply outdated items, everything that can stay will be given a permanent place. This way, you can finally achieve a sustainable organisation in the children's room.
Our tip: The IKEA TROFAST shelving system is a real storage space miracle in the children's room thanks to its boxes. It becomes even more perfect with organiser stickers with symbols - so even the little ones know which toy belongs in which box.

The TROFAST shelf is also a real organising hero in combination with other furniture. For example, you can use it to cleverly store the accessories for your play kitchen within easy reach. And the best thing is: With our stickers for the TROFAST shelf and the children's kitchens, you can decorate the furniture in a uniform way and beautify the children's room in no time at all.

Organisation in the wardrobe and changing table with organisers

Even in the drawer of children's wardrobes, things can quickly become untidy. Practical organisers create orderly compartments in which every item of clothing has its place. Particularly clever: you can see all the clothes at a glance and never have to search for long.

Tip: A place of honour for favourites

Of course, little treasures don't have to disappear in a box - our favourite things are skilfully staged. Like our favourite Tonie figures, for example, which can of course be given a special place in the children's room. One of the easiest and most popular IKEA hacks for Tonies is to place the little friends on picture ledge. With the matching wall tattoo, the DIY Tonie shelf becomes an absolute eye-catcher!

2. Redesigning your child's room for the new year

New year - new nursery? The Christmas decorations are out and we're ready for a breath of fresh air in our home. Of course, there can't and shouldn't be a complete makeover every year. For heaven's sake! But a few small touches are welcome to create a new feeling. This could be a new pillowcase that makes the couch shine in fresh splendour. Or a splash of colour in the children's room. Fancy a little inspiration from Limmaland?

Wall decoration creates a new feeling

A small splash of colour can have a big impact! And so that you don't have to struggle with paints, brushes and masking tape for your New Year's decoration project, we make it very easy for you: wall tattoos in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colours will transform your children's room without a great deal of effort!

Wall stickers can not only be decorative, they can also replace an entire piece of play furniture. For example, you can transform your child's room into a lively marketplace with a TROFAST shelf and our wall stickers.

Turn old into new

Do you perhaps have used furniture in your child's room that you no longer like and would like to replace with something new? We have a better idea: why not try an upcycling project? With a little preparation, you can easily paint IKEA furniture. Our tip: It's even easier with furniture foil - simply cut it to size and stick it on.

3. More family time in the new year

The Christmas madness is over, we've left the old year behind us and are starting a new one motivated and relaxed. And this time, we've made a firm resolution: To finally reduce our screen time and spend more quality time with our loved ones.

Board games with the family

It's especially nice when everyone sits at the table together and concentrates on the game in a completely analogue way - preferably with grandma and grandpa, of course.

Reading aloud and cuddling as an evening ritual

Reading books together has long been part of the evening ritual for many families. A cosy way to wind down from the many impressions of the day and immerse yourself in imaginative stories. Especially cosy: simply close your eyes while reading aloud and fall asleep.
