Kids Makeovers for Children's Rooms
Children's rooms change with their needs. Plan furniture and wall design so that colours, motifs and existing elements come together in a clear concept.
- Organise inspiration
- Open the right product world
- Prepare your project in detail
Furniture and walls as one cohesive design
With Kids Makeovers, storage, play areas and the look of the wall come together. First decide which piece of furniture or which area should be the focus.
There are already pre-filled IKEA categories for TROFAST and DUKTIG. Children's wall art complements the concept without every element having to repeat the same motif.
Suitable Categories for Your Project
Furniture and walls as one cohesive design: correctly assess the starting point
When it comes to IKEA furniture, precise identification is more important than the product name alone. The series, configuration, year of manufacture and actual dimensions should match before you select a category or variant.
For Kids Makeovers for children's rooms, the first step specifically means recognising that storage, play area and wall design do not yet look like one cohesive space. Then define which elements will remain and what change should actually be visible in the room.
Compare TROFAST and alternatives sensibly
Don't just compare the preview image. The number of doors, drawer layout, handle positions and dimensions help distinguish similar models from one another and open the right product group.
For this page, TROFAST, DUKTIG, wall art for children and furniture films are particularly relevant. Open the categories individually and compare not only colours, but also structure, size options and the details of each product.
- TROFAST: Suitable makeover products for the existing TROFAST configuration.
- DUKTIG: Ideas and products centred around the DUKTIG play kitchen.
- Wall Art for Children: Motifs for a matching wall design.
- Furniture Films: Additional furniture surfaces for individual projects.
Kids Makeover before and after: from the detail to the overall look
Then plan the makeover as an independent room project: décor, fittings and surrounding colours should work together, even if the film is already offered to match a particular series.
The middle step of the project is to choose a colour scheme and a main motif without overloading the room with repetitions. For the desired result, furniture and walls should embrace a shared theme while remaining clearly structured. Review this vision once more alongside the chosen décor before finalising dimensions or quantities.

Check the series and room first
Identify the exact series and configuration of your IKEA furniture. For freestanding furniture projects, a surface list and sample comparison in the children's room can help.
Choose motifs and colours so that they work with existing furniture and textiles. Product information and the intended area of use remain decisive when making your selection.
- Check the furniture series and dimensions
- Define a calm base colour
- Choose one or two accents
- Do not unnecessarily duplicate the wall art and furniture
