When it comes to creating a room for your child there is no better place to let your creativity run wild than Ikea. With the variety of furniture products all under one roof you can be sure to find the right combination that suits you and your children´s style. The best thing about Ikea is that the units themselves are at a great price point and the neutral, practical pieces means you can dress them up in any combination to something unique, fun and practical.
When planning and designing a room for your little one it is important to consider their growth, while right now it may seem they will be small forever, they quickly grow and grow. It´s important to make sure the room will easily adapt with your child. For example while they may love peppa pig, this phase which most children go through only lasts for about a year or two and changing bedroom decor can become expensive and time consuming. Choose some neutral pieces that can be used as your child reaches pre-teens, trust me, this phase will be here before you know it, so its good for some pre-planning at this stage.
The most popular item of furniture for a kids room in Ikea is the Ikea Kura and its not hard to see why coming in at $219. Its sleek pine frame with white paneling gives it a contemporary fell that matches all types of room decor. The best part about the Ikea Kura is its blank canvas means it is easily customisable to make it your own. Check out this post for 23 ways to easily jazz up an Ikea Kura bed.
A must in a kids room is the storage, kids stuff quickly builds up and you will need somewhere to put all their toys and books. The Ikea Kallax is great for this as it allows big storage compartments which you can use to keep individual toys on display or add boxes to keep the toys outside of view. The Trofast toy box is another greta item and different and you can easily mix and match many sizes to fit the space you are working with.
