IKEA Hacks for the children's bedroom: you will find them perfect for creating a colorful and fun play area

Furnishing the children's room is fun for parents, but it is also a challenge: it must be a safe but stimulating place, where there is space for everything you need and where you can tidy up without too much effort. So, we are inspired by clever ideas to give a completely personal touch to each bedroom. One way to do this is to do it yourself, perhaps with the help of some standard "starting parts".

You can adapt a piece of furniture or accessory for a different use: this is the philosophy behind every IKEA Hack. Below, you will find some ideas for using accessories and furniture from the Swedish furniture giant, combined and transformed into furniture for the children's bedroom!

The children's bedroom: let's tidy up

The first thing to make sure of in the children's bedroom is that everything has a space to be stored, otherwise it ends up in chaos quickly. So, IKEA open furniture, like KALLAX, becomes useful for dividing up toys and anything else that children use every day. Just label everything properly!

The IKEA dollhouse becomes a police station... But not only that

Among the IKEA toys there is the wooden house for dolls, FLISAT. Who said, though, that it should only be a dolls house? If you change the background with paper or stickers, it can become a police station, filled with cars and characters and a theme, and it can also become anything else: hospital, school, theater... There is no limit to your imagination!

Toy trains in the children's room

Toy trains have a timeless charm for children, and with the LILLABO set, mounted specifically on one of the most classic and famous pieces of furniture from the Swedish giant, the super economical LACK, you can create a three-dimensional play track with which have fun for hours. However, the table has very sharp corners: it is best to get protectors such as UNDVIKA corner protectors.

IKEA hack for children in the garden

What child doesn't enjoy cooking mud pies? Well, you can make a special kitchen by filling the TROFAST boxes with sand (or earth) and placing them in the KNAGGLIG wooden boxes. Perfect on the balcony or in the garden!

Endless plush toys, which can decorate the door or wall

Not just for children: even adults love soft toys (plushies), and how many times do parents, relatives and family friends give some to their little ones at home? Here, they multiply endlessly, and each child will has his favorite for a period of time, while the others perhaps just take up space elsewhere. Why not keep them ready for play, but organized somewhere instead? Here you can use the KOMPLEMENT hanger, full of toys, on walls or doors, or inside wardrobes!

The dream shop

There are toys to buy to create the kitchen, the grocery store and more. But they are unlikely to be all as well equipped and as spacious as what could be created using a KALLAX open bookcase. It could even be equipped with an awning and additional shelves on the side, narrow ones. It will be up to the little ones to decide which trade to practice!

The safe fort

Traditionally it was cardboard boxes that became the walls for forts in which to play for hours. Or maybe artfully hung sheets. But this idea of using PLUFSIG padded and colorful gymnastics mats is just as valid!

IKEA Hack for budding chefs

No child can get close to the burning embers of a real barbecue, but there is no problem with this toy: you will need a TROFAST box with its lid and the FLISAT stool. Then you paint it artfully, and you can grill food like those from the DUKTIG set or any other similar toys. Who will become the king of the BBQ?

Cleaning up also means helping parents

IKEA trolleys are among the most loved objects in the entire catalogue, almost everywhere in the world: they are used in a thousand different ways, to tidy up countless items. For example, they can also become a diaper changing station equipped with everything. You can use this when there is no suitable changing table!
