Home idea with IKEA: one bedroom for two children

Transforming a temporary workspace with a play area into a dynamic boys' bedroom for two brothers (2 and 6 years old) requires a harmonious blend of creativity and functionality. Boy's mother Maija imagines splashes of color, whimsical decor, and versatile storage solutions, fostering an environment that nurtures both play and restful sleep.

Before: an interior with hidden potential

Nestled beneath a partly sloped ceiling, the small room serves as an intermittent workspace for parents and an additional play area for their two young boys. Yet, with solely a northern-facing window, the subdued light creates a rather dim atmosphere, lacking the desired coziness, indicating a need for renovation.

After: an adventure for two

This once purely functional workspace now blooms as a vibrant bedroom for two little boys after a remarkable renovation. With adaptable, extendable beds that evolve alongside the children, the room embodies a nurturing space primed for their growth and adventures.

Store it smart

Innovative storage solutions breathe life into this refurbished kid's room. Closed cabinets bestow an organized charm, while accessible boxes and open shelves with boxes, cleverly functioning as drawers, offer ease for the kids to reach and stow away their cherished belongings effortlessly. The IVAR and TROFAST systems offer many combination possibilities and can add a warm natural accent in interior or can be painted in any colour.

Best place for each thing

Diverse storage strategies adorn this kid's room: picture ledges cradle treasured books and toy cars, baskets diligently categorize various items, while sturdy shelves proudly exhibit larger toys and playful paraphernalia, ensuring a harmonious blend of functionality and charm.

Transformable wardrobe

Crafted for growing children, this multifaceted wardrobe boasts convenience and versatility. Its lower drawers offer easy access for tiny hands, a spacious hanging area accommodates varied attire, while the upper section provides ample storage for additional items, fostering organizational ease. The combination shows the wide range of possibilities with SMÅSTAD that can be adapted to serve different needs.

A desk for every age

This renovated kid's room features a versatile children's table, equipped with stools for the 2-year-old and a desk tailored for the soon-to-be pupil, aged 6. An inclusive space designed to nurture creativity, growth, and learning seamlessly.

"When several children share a room, it's important that each of them has a corner to themselves. If the space is small, you should also think about storage solutions. Here, we combined furniture and accessories from different collections to create a solution that's as comfortable as possible and that's just right for children."
