Are you expecting your little miracle soon and can't wait to furnish your baby's room? You can rely on our favourite Swedish furniture store! Because it offers something to suit every budget and taste and is therefore a popular and trustworthy option for designing the baby's room. We want to accompany you on this exciting journey and give you an overview of the many options IKEA offers to create a stylish, functional and affordable baby room.

Reasons for a baby room from IKEA

1.Stylish design that grows with you: One of the best features of IKEA furniture is its versatility and timeless design. When furnishing a baby's room, it is important to think about the future. Much IKEA furniture is designed so that it can grow with the child. One example of this is the GULLIVER* cot, which is height-adjustable and can later be converted into a cot with removable bed sides. This means that when the time comes, the IKEA baby room can be converted into an IKEA children's room without much effort or new purchases.

2.Focus on functionality: A baby room must be functional in order to meet the needs of your favourite little person. IKEA offers a wide range of functional solutions that make your life easier and are easy on your wallet in the long term. In addition to beds that grow with your child, IKEA also offers convertible changing tables, for example. Once your little one is out of nappies, you can easily convert the changing table into a normal chest of drawers, a desk or a practical shelf - without any need for super handyman skills.

3.Affordable for every budget: Furnishing a baby room can be expensive, but IKEA is known for offering affordable furniture and accessories. Whether you have a small or large budget, at IKEA you will find products for every budget. For example, the SNIGLAR range offers affordable yet high quality baby furniture such as beds and changing tables. And the best thing is that they can be easily combined with other IKEA products to personalise your baby's room

4. safety first: When furnishing a baby's room, safety is paramount. IKEA attaches great importance to ensuring that its furniture meets the highest safety standards. The furniture is made from high-quality materials and is tested for safety.

Storage options from IKEA

It's fascinating how much clothing, toiletries and toys a little person needs. The space in the changing table and wardrobe is quickly exhausted. Organisation is needed to ensure that there is still enough storage space in the baby room in addition to the basic furnishings. Fortunately, IKEA also offers a wide range of practical storage solutions that are specially tailored to the needs of you and your little one.

  1. TheSMÅSTAD storage system*is an excellent choice for keeping the baby's room organised. It combines drawer, shelves and hanging storage in a modular system that can be customised. The drawer provides plenty of space for clothes, nappies and other baby items, while the shelves and hanging storage provide extra storage space for toys, books and decorations. The SMÅSTAD system is available in different sizes and colours so that you can adapt it perfectly to your baby's room.
  2. The KALLAX shelves* are extremely versatile and are ideal for the storage baby room. With its open compartments, the KALLAX shelving unit allows toys, books and decorative items to be presented in a clearly organised way. At the same time, you can also place baskets, boxes or storage boxes in compartments to organise smaller items and make the shelf even more functional. The KALLAX shelf is also available in different sizes and colours.
  3. TheTROFAST series*offers a wide range of modular storage solutions that have been specially developed for children. With its drawer and boxes, the TROFAST furniture allows you to organise toys, clothes and other baby items storage neatly. You can adjust the size and arrangement of the drawer and boxes as required and thus make optimum use of the storage space. The TROFAST range also offers colourful options to make the baby room cheerful and appealing.
  4. If you are looking for a larger storage solution for the baby room, thePLATSA wardrobes*are an excellent choice. With their variable sizes and combination options, PLATSA wardrobes can be customised to fit the available space. You can customise the interior of the wardrobes with clothes rails, shelves and drawer to suit your needs, creating a tailor-made storage solution for the baby's room.

The FLISAT wall storage unit as a decorative mini clothes rail or bookshelf: with the custom-fit FLISAT decal from Limmaland, the baby room becomes even cosier. And you decide what use the wall shelf has in the baby room. You can either use the shelf as a bookshelf as recommended by IKEA or as a hanging clothes rail for rompers, dresses or sleeping bags. To do this, simply mount the wall storage the other way round.

The IKEA RÅSKOG mobile shelving unit as a mobile changing station: The practical RÅSKOG* mobile shelving unit can be converted into a mobile changing station. Fill the baskets with all the necessary nappy-changing utensils.
