With spring on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to give your child’s room a bit of a spring cleaning boost. Reignite their interest in existing toys with a better storage solution, or make their bed feel extra cozy with cheerful new bedding. The Ikea website is bursting with inspiration and new products to help you get organized and brighten up any space.
Timely new pillows
Welcome the Year of the Snake as you cuddle up with this oversized python stuffie that kids can slide their hand into to use as a puppet.
If you are looking for a spring vibe, check out the new flower pillow. And for even more of an outdoor theme, consider adding this cute stuffed bee or a green grass rug.
A glowing friend
Turn your child’s bedroom into a cozy, whimsical retreat with this adorable owl lamp. Its gentle glow provides the perfect amount of light for bedtime stories or late-night check-ins, making nighttime routines a little bit more magical.
If you’d rather have a furry friend, give this sweet cat night-light a try. This light is battery operated, so you can place it anywhere you’d like, no need to search for a spot near an outlet.
The sweetest mini bed and a new friend to tuck in
Complete your child’s bedroom with this charming doll bed, complete with soft linens. Perfect for tucking in favorite dolls or stuffed animals, this miniature bed turns any room into a delightful haven for little ones and their beloved companions.
This sweet otter mom and pup have lots of love to give. Hug them together or separately, they are adorable either way.
Adorable bed tents
Turn your Ikea lofted bed into a cute nook or play space with this clever outer-space-themed tent. This fun fabric curtain will help spark your child’s imaginative play.
If you’d rather head underwater than into the stars, check out the under-the-sea bed tent. It’s a bestseller, and attaching it to the bed is quick and easy.
Creative wall storage
If tiny toys are taking over the floor in your kid’s room, this wall shelf could be your answer. Shaped like a dollhouse, this cute shelf can hold dollhouse furniture, or other small toys and objects looking for a home. Once the small things are tucked away, check out the Barfis door hanger for corralling hats, bags, sweatshirts and more.
Another cute way to display special toys (and get them off the floor) is with this simple, slidable wall shelf. There are even little ladders so your objects can climb up and down to find the perfect spot.
Clever storage bins
Help your kids learn their numbers and organization skills at the same time. These cute numbered bins are a great storage solution for anything from clothes to toys. And the best part? Next time your kid asks where their socks are, you can simply reply with a number. It doesn’t get easier than that.
Pictures are another great way to delineate storage containers and keep things organized. These easy to pull out boxes are made of light textile materials and have handles on the short sides.
Outer space and down-to-earth bed sets
It doesn’t get much cooler than an out-of-this-world space-themed bed. This twin duvet cover would be perfect for a child climbing into their first big-kid bed. For even more nighttime comfort add a tabletop rocket ship lamp, which can shine in seven different colors.
If your kid is more interested in keeping their feet on the ground, this new sweet forest bedding set is sure to be a hit. This is the perfect set for kids who are fascinated by the forest and love the critters who live there.
Stylish storage
Since toys don’t stay in one room, it’s nice to have an easy way to transport them when playtime is over. This useful storage box with bright green wheels is ready to bring out the fun, and put it away too.
Even without wheels, this storage tower with easy-to-access pockets is a piece of cake to move to keep up with the fun. Little hands can pull toys out and stuff them back in when playtime is over, and the whole thing can be moved around the house with ease.
Convertible beds
Imagine one piece of furniture that can meet multiple needs and change over time as your child grows. Lucky for you, this magical item exists. The Gonatt crib has a storage drawer on the bottom and converts to a toddler bed when your little one reaches that important milestone. And since it’s from Ikea, you know it is not only beautifully designed, but comes at a price that is gentle on your budget.
If you need the crib for another little one but still want a bed that will last for years, this bed that extends from a toddler size to a single is your answer. Made from strong materials, and with stylish rounded corners, this bed is sure to be a fixture in your child’s room for years to come.
A sleek laundry basket
This sleek and light laundry basket (with a removable bag) might make it easier for your kids to take care of their dirty clothes. There are no guarantees, but the sturdy handles make it easy for kids to get their laundry from their room to the washing machine, and maybe even back again.
If you’ve got a sports-obsessed kid (or a kid who likes to make everything into a game) this laundry basket with a lid is for you. Kids can stand back and toss their laundry into the top and celebrate with a high five for a swish. This basket also had a removeable bag with handles to get all those great shots into the actual washing machine.
A kid-friendly pencil case and coloring roll
Give your budding artist a beautiful and convenient place to keep their pencils. This roll-up case will keep pencils and paintbrushes protected, plus it rolls up for easy travel for your artist-on-the-go.
Pick up the new coloring roll and keep the kids busy for hours coloring this magical forest world. The coloring roll is 46 square feet!
