The 11 best ideas for the dark season
The 11 best ideas for the dark season
Autumn not only brings cooler temperatures, but also cosiness. When the days get shorter, it is all the more important to make your home cosy - especially in the children's room, where a feel-good atmosphere and a sense of security are particularly important in autumn. In addition, the opportunity to play outside often falls through. With a few simple IKEA hacks and craft ideas, you'll be ready for autumn and can get your children's room ready for the dark season in no time at all. It's not just about cosiness, but also about creating space for creativity and play when outdoor activities become more difficult. With our IKEA hacks, it's guaranteed to be cosy - even on the greyest of days!
Playtime fun in autumn weather
We've collected a few ideas for you that will keep the children's room from getting boring even on rainy days!
Pure cosiness in the KURA snuggle and reading corner
When the days get darker and colder, we all want a cosy place to retreat to. With this IKEA hack, you can conjure up a wonderfully cosy snuggle corner for your little ones under the KURA bunk bed. Simply attach our curtains for the KURA bed and decorate and decorate as you wish! Our adhesive foils in various colours and patterns, for example, can help with this.
If you want to create a great reading corner, we have a clever idea for you: our book rails make it easy to store books next to each other and at a height suitable for children. So the little ones can snuggle up cosily with a book.
Book storage in the children's room
One of the favourite activities in bad weather is probably reading. But children's books have to be stored somewhere. We have some clever hacks for you on how to store the often oversized books at a child-friendly height. With a book shelf on the KURA bed, you can turn your cosy corner into a reading corner. We'll also show you how you can build a practical mobile book box from an EKET shelf and how you can drape books on picture rails like little works of art.
Play kitchen: Autumn time is baking time
When the temperatures drop outside, it's time for cosy afternoons in the kitchen. If the little ones can't help us in the real kitchen, they can get creative and "help bake" at play kitchen.
Especially nice: you can upgrade the kitchen with our autumnal adhesive foils and conjure up an autumnal ambience in your home. Autumn also offers new ideas for "cooking" in the play kitchen: Perhaps you can invent a new recipe with the chestnuts you have collected yourself? In the cold season, the DUKTIG kitchen becomes a versatile favourite place where the little ones can let their imagination run wild.
Mud kitchen DIY hack for autumn weather
Autumn weather and mud simply belong together. With this hack, you can build your own mud kitchen for the garden or balcony in no time at all. All you need are KNAGGLIG boxes and TROFAST boxes from IKEA, as well as our adhesive films. At mud kitchen, the kids can "cook" to their heart's content - with sand, water, leaves and chestnuts. And if the weather turns a little too autumnal, the mud kitchen can just as easily be brought indoors. We then recommend homemade magic sand - as the sand made from flour is not as sticky as real sand, it doesn't make such a mess. It is therefore also suitable for playing indoors.
The practical DIY play shop
With this hack, you can easily transform a TROFAST shelf into a clever play shop. This hack is particularly space-saving, as the play shop mainly consists of the stickers for the wall. With the checkout conveyor and accessories such as vegetables or baked goods, the play shop becomes even more realistic and the children's room is transformed into a small marketplace. So the kids have lots of fun and something to do even on rainy autumn days.
Even more fun with the LACK table
The LACK table from IKEA can be transformed into a versatile playing surface for indoors in no time at all with the matching play table foils. Whether it's a streetscape, football pitch or board game - the practical wipe-clean foils transform the table into an interactive play world that kids can get creative with. The foils are easy to stick on and remove so that the table can be flexibly transformed as required.
An autumnal look for your home
Toy storage in autumn style with TROFAST
With our adhesive foils, you can easily bring an autumnal atmosphere into the children's room! The films bring autumnal colours and motifs into your home - perfect for brightening up the dark season. Whether warm autumn tones, playful patterns or cute motifs - the foils are very easy to apply and transform furniture into real eye-catchers. A quick and clever way to make your home autumnal and cosy.
The TROFAST shelf makes playing indoors and, above all, tidying up child's play. Toys can be stored in the large boxes in no time at all.
Craft ideas for autumn
Crafting is probably the best indoor activity for rainy days. Not only will your little ones learn to work creatively and independently, but they can also decorate your home at the same time.
Get creative with salt dough
Salt dough makes it easy to conjure up little works of art to decorate your home in a cosy, autumnal style. Whether it's cute pumpkins or other figures - there are no limits to your creativity. Salt dough is quick to make and perfect for crafting figures. After baking, it can simply be coloured as desired. Particularly practical: the finished creations last a long time and can easily be stored for next year. We explain exactly how to prepare the dough and also have a few motif ideas for you!
Playful learning with the annual circle
With our craft instructions, we'll show you how you can easily make a yearly circle with your kids. This is a fun way to explain to your children why the nice weather is over now. They can learn when the months and seasons follow each other and have fun at the same time! All you need is our template to print out and a cork coaster. It's that easy to conjure up a colourful year clock!

When autumn is already in full swing, it also means that Christmas is just around the corner! We have a few ideas for you on how to get ready.
