1. Choosing the right furniture for a child’s bedroom if they have allergies

When planning a child’s bedroom for someone with allergies, the first step is to consider which pieces of furniture are truly essential. Every additional piece of furniture increases the potential surface area for dust to accumulate. Low chests of drawers and sideboards are preferable to tall cupboards, as they are easy to reach and can be vacuumed or wiped down with a damp cloth on a regular basis.

Instead of fabric play rugs, wipeable play surfaces such as adhesive films for play tables can be a more hygienic alternative, without those with allergies having to miss out on the fun of playing. With Limmaland’s lovingly designed ‘ play table’ adhesive films, you can create imaginative play worlds in no time at all – and they’re also particularly easy to look after. Limmaland’s high-quality laminated films can be easily cleaned with water, soap or a mild detergent and prevent dust build-up. This keeps the children’s room hygienic whilst ensuring play remains just as colourful and creative.

2. The right bed: Sleeping in a child’s bedroom for allergy sufferers

When choosing a bed, make sure it either has quite high legs or is a ‘ bunk bed’ so that you can easily vacuum and mop underneath it and prevent dust and pollen from accumulating. Alternatively, you could buy a bed that sits directly on the floor, such as the IKEA KURA bed. This makes it easy to vacuum along the edges, and prevents house dust and pollen from accumulating under the bed. 

To ensure that even little ones with allergies don’t have to miss out on cheerful colours in their bedroom, you can also decorate the cot with matching films from Limmaland laminate.

3. Toy boxes with lids help keep house dust at bay

Toys left lying around collect dust on and between individual pieces. Toy boxes with lids protect their contents from dust and make it easier to clean surfaces regularly. Systems such as stackable boxes or modular storage solutions bring structure to everyday life. A tidy children’s room is not only visually calmer, but also significantly better from a hygiene perspective.
The TROFAST boxes from IKEA can also be easily decorated with the perfectly fitting Limmaland films.

4. Reduce the amount of textiles: Don’t give dust mites a chance

Dust mites tend to settle in fabrics. It is therefore advisable to deliberately reduce the amount of textiles in a child’s bedroom if they suffer from allergies. Washable roller blinds can be used instead of curtains. Large quantities of cushions or decorative fabrics should be avoided or washed regularly. 

Children love cuddly toys, and even in a child’s bedroom for allergy sufferers, soft toys should have a place. So here’s our advice: strike a compromise by allowing just a few soft toys, and ideally choose them in advance to ensure they’re easy to wash.

To ensure the child’s bedroom remains cosy despite having fewer fabrics, you can make good use of colourful wall decorations. With the ‘ play shop’ wall sticker from Limmaland, you can easily conjure up a whole new play world, with minimal surfaces that can gather dust
