Is the IKEA Poang Chair useful in a sensory diet? We are at the beginning of providing a sensory diet for our 6 year old. She needs to bounce, safely and/or rock safely. Our house is not big enough for a regular rocking chair,a trampoline is also not possible. She likes to sit cross legged so children sized rocking chairs have also been rejected (by her!)We were in IKEA today and the Poang chair seems to give a nice feel it sort of bounces and rocks. It certainly made my head feel nice.

A small modern nursery becomes a happy place for our firstborn baby girl. My husband and I had so much fun putting our daughter’s nursery together. We wanted it to be fresh, modern, and feminine, yet not over-the-top girly. I’ve had many sources of inspiration, but it took finding the peach/orange fabric in the bargain bin at Jo-Ann’s and the vintage Vera Neumann scarf on Etsy for the room concept to finally begin taking shape. I would say I have a modern/transitional style that is colorful, playful, and fun. One major difficulty for us was the size and layout of the 7x13 room, which includes a radiator and three large windows, thus limiting our floor plan options. It also lacks a closet, so finding the right storage solution took some effort. I wanted a dresser with modern lines to complement the crib, that wasn’t too deep yet had ample storage. We ended up having one custom-made at a local furniture store in Somerville, MA called Sunshine Lucy’s. We are thrilled with the result and the price couldn’t be beat!
We saved in spades by purchasing our low bookshelf, picture ledges, and rocker at Ikea. Our chevron rug was a steal at $69 from Urban Outfitters and our modern crib (now discontinued) was on sale at Babies R Us. The aforementioned dresser turned out to be an ideal solution that was far cheaper than anything from Pottery Barn, Land of Nod, etc. We decided against purchasing a bedding set and instead used the fabric I found for $4/yd to make a crib skirt with the no-sew tutorial I saw on Young House Love (which seems to be popping up on nursery blogs everywhere — and with good reason!). We also had changing pad covers and throw pillows made using the same fabric. In addition to the Vera scarf, I fell in love with the Darling Clementine artwork featured on Ohdeedoh earlier this year. I love how graphic and mod the prints are — I hope she enjoys looking at them as much as I do! I’ve also known for some time that I would display her books in one form or another; I’m a preschool teacher and I’ve witnessed firsthand how often children gravitate toward books when they can see them!
Lastly, I commissioned my friend, Carrie Harvey of Brooklyn Twinkle, to design a special gift for Father’s Day using a favorite scene from the film, It’s A Wonderful Life as inspiration. (The movie has special meaning for my husband’s family and we’ve always said we’d call our little Zoe “Zuzu” as a loving sort of nickname.) I’m thrilled with the finished product and now we have a unique work of art that is truly close to our hearts. On the whole, we’re very pleased with the way her room turned out. Every time I enter it makes me happy. It’s so hard for me to choose, but I’d have to say that my favorite elements are the dresser, artwork, picture ledges, custom pillows, and pink/orange Jonathan Adler lamp. All it needed was our sweet baby girl! I think it's important to take your time designing the space, so start early if you can. Decide how you want your room to function and go from there. Also, don't be afraid to pursue custom options -- you might be surprised by the affordability!

IKEA Poang Chair Hacks To TryPoang chair can be renovated in lots of interesting ways. The easiest idea is repaint the frame in the color you like to refresh the look of the chair or in case it has some scratches. If you are good at sewing, make a new slipcover for your Poang depending on the interior and décor style you have. You may also add some foam inside to make it a bit softer. Make it nautical, blush, bold, patterned, color blocked (that’s very trendy) or any other you want. Make the frame and the cover contrasting for a cooler look. Add a couple of cushions, faux fur, a sheepskin and you’ll get nearly a new Poang!If you are up for some more profound changes, turn your Poang chair into a rocker! It’ll become even more relaxing this way. An armrest attached to the Poang chair will give you some space for placing your tablet, cup or glasses. Change it completely turning into a hammock-style seating with some faux leather. Wanna see all the possible DIY hacks?
