Organizing and setting up our kid’s rooms is
one of the best ways to show we care. Their room is their personal space, and
it should be fun, welcoming, and cozy for them. We always want to do what’s
best for them, and setting up their bedroom is a good start! Of course,
redesigning a bedroom on a budget can be challenging.
That’s why IKEA Expert Julie Mott has provided us with
the following tips for setting up the perfect room for your children.
Jungle Adventure
You can get a lot of inspiration for your kid’s room directly from IKEA. One trendy creation is a set of jungle
adventure furniture, and you can get everything you need in one affordable
space! The SLAKT bed has both a second bed and storage underneath the frame.
When you add in cabinets, organizing tools, and fun jungle décor, you have the
perfect design for your kid’s room.
Use Smagora for
Versatility
One thing that you should always keep in mind
is versatility. You want to give your children time to play and relax, but you
also want to keep the room organized. The Smagora line from IKEA can help with
just that.
The shelving unit, in particular, allows you
to change up the design, letting you build it to your custom size. They have
every kind of furniture, whether for baby or child, with plenty of storage,
organization, and even color added in for whatever you need.
Stacking Crates
A popular design concept that you can put to
work redesigning your kid’s room is stacking crates. These crates simply look
like open shelving and can be found at IKEA in different sizes, shapes, and
colors. Mix and match them, stack them, turn them, and you have yourself plenty
of space and a great look.
You can use them for storing and organizing
things like books, toys, games, and more!
Storage Benches
Storage benches can be a great
solution in any room. In a kid’s room, they offer a place to sit and play and a
place to organize and clean. Whether they need a cozy reading place or just an
enjoyable spot in the sun, a storage bench can be a great addition.
At IKEA, you can find these again in all sorts
of styles, colors, and sizes.
Take Care of Your Teen
As our children grow older, we have to
remember that their needs change. Your teen or almost teen will most likely not
be satisfied with the same look of their bedroom as a child. Plan to redesign
their room to make it an ideal teen-room setting.
Teens need lots of storage – both open and
closed. They need places to display the stuff they want everyone to see and
other places to hide the rest of the mess. Give them plenty of shelves,
cabinetry, and storage. You might want to check out something like the RASSLA
box that has compartments and take a look at the IKEA Stuvia line as well.
Every kid needs a room that meets their
personality and characteristics. Don’t be afraid to make it personal, and
search IKEA for solutions that match your kid’s needs the most!
