IKEA is great for its affordable options and modern style, but sometimes you want something with a bit more personality and color for decorating your nursery. Our very own Brit rocked the DIY nursery for her little guy with lots of creative and colorful touches, and you can too.
Whether you want a colorful changing table or some more interesting options for displaying those teeny tiny shoes, IKEA hacks are the solution for your dream nursery. 1. Shelf Storage: IKEA shelving is the perfect place to hang all of those tiny, adorable baby clothes and it helps create a space to store toys, books and photos. 2. Wall of Dots: Make a colorful grid of polka dots intermingled with hangers for coats, hats and backpacks. 3. Gray and Pink: Convert an IKEA dresser into a stylish changing table. The open shelving is a great way to display favorite books and toys and keep them still within reach of little arms. (via Made By Girl) 4. Nursery Wardrobe Shelf: Starting with an IKEA wall shelf, just screw a rail to the bottom for a super easy but clever hack. Books and decor go up top, and clothing on the bottom for a piece that does double duty. 5. Wallpaper Dollhouse: Turn a bookcase into an adorable little dollhouse by just using a wallpaper cutout or some paint to make the outline of a house.
6. Bar Cart: Keep that changing table organized by turning the classic IKEA bar cart into a diaper caddy. You can also paint it in whatever color you want to fit into your nursery decor. (via Style Me Pretty) 7. Vertical Bookshelf: If there isn’t room for a bookshelf, hang magazine racks on the wall for book storage. This vertical book shelf also doubles as wall art, because kids’ books have the prettiest covers. (via Joy Ever After) 8. Golden Wardrobe: Embrace the openness of a closet without doors by putting up stickers or wall art and using open shelving and baskets to keep things organized. 9. Changing Table: Play with painted patterns and colors on a simple wooden dresser for a changing table that really reflects your nursery’s personality. 10. Modern Accents: We love a project that can be completed in an afternoon. Painting these geometric shades in bold colors is a fantastic way to update a plain old dresser. (via Buy Modern Baby) 11. Turn It on Its Side: Can you spot the hack in this colorful circus nursery?
For the window seat they used an IKEA bookshelf, added some legs and made a cushion for the top. They also used bin containers and painted circus numbers with stencils. 12. Get a Handle: Just the simple act of replacing the knobs with leather pulls on this dresser/changing table gives the whole nursery a fresh new look. 13. Wooden Play Gym: Hack this wooden play set with a much more grown-up color palette that won’t clash with your living room decor. 14. Contrasting Dresser: Rather than painting the whole dresser, just paint the drawers an accent color and replace the knobs with gold ones for a feminine, vintage look. 15. Train Track: A little glue and some foam can take a plain wooden train track from “meh” to ah-maz-ing. (via Kickcan and Conkers) 16. Green Accents: A basic Molger painted bright green is a fun way to store all those stuffed animals where little ones can easily access (and put away!) all their favorite toys. (via Donkey and the Carrot)
17. Rocking Chair: Can you believe this is the Strandmon chair hacked into a rocker? For the ambitious DIYer, this post will explain the process of making this beautiful rocker for your own nursery. (via Explore Dream Discover) 18. Golden Shelves: Use shelves of reclaimed wood and paint IKEA shelf brackets to make these elegant bookshelves perfect for lots of #shelfies with all those adorable baby accessories. (via Lay Baby Lay) 19. Bold Pop: Even a nursery needs some color, and this changing table will definitely make those 3am changings a little bit better. Paint an IKEA dresser your favorite color and play around with mismatched knobs for a bit of extra fun. (via A Beautiful Mess) What is your favorite nursery IKEA hack?

We had this old dresser that we were thinking of throwing out, but after a little paint and new hardware, it is so beautiful! Kids need space to just be kids.

Our round-up aims to cut the confusion by bringing you what we think are the best and most genuinely useful products this year for sleeping arrangements, daytime play and downtime, as well as storage. This is from one of several furniture collections from Silver Cross, all of which include a cot bed, dresser and wardrobe. We love the soft antique white of this range, along with the striking pewter effect handles, and excellent build quality. The dresser starts life as a changing station, but you can simply remove the top to transform it to a chest of drawers. 2. Stacking Toy Box: £27, gltc.co.uk Here’s a way to keep their things neat, while injecting some colour into a room. Available in seven gorgeous colours, which are designed to mix and match, the stackable storing boxes are ideal for anything from nappies to LEGO. There’s a useful, blackboard label and they are easy to assemble and great quality, too. Available with natural or white upholstery, this white chair is tremendously comfortable and offers great ergonomics, with a nice wide chair footstall, making it ideal for relaxing in when pregnant and for feeding your baby, as well as reading to them when they’re a bit older.
There are seven reclining positions making it super=versatile. Take note: it will need assembling so any heavily pregnant mums should make sure they have a helping hand. New this season, this stunning cot is aimed at those want a change from the sea of white and wooden cots that line the floors of most nursery retailers. The quality is amazing and there are lots of thoughtful details, like the top cot changer and storage drawer. And because it transforms into a bed, it will last your littlun up to five-years-old. This delightful toy box is a fun and practical way to store anything from blankets and muslins, when they’re tiny, to toys when they’re older. Little fingers won’t get trapped, thanks to the cut away front, and there’s a padded top that youngsters will love to sit on. There’s also a blue atlas design if the butterflies don't appeal. Although kids aren’t supposed to use this until they’re at least a year old, this rocking horse named Buddy will finish off a nursery beautifully, as well as being a friendly face for babies to wake up to.
Then, when they’re old enough they can hone their balance and fine motor skills on his back. The frame feels solid and little ones will love pressing Buddy’s ears to hear the rattles and squeaks. Bouncers are great for when babies want to sit up. This is pricey compared to others, but the build quality is exceptional and the colour combinations, of which there are many, are gorgeous. There are three adjustable height settings, ranging from almost horizontal to an upright position that’s good for playing or feeding. It’s lightweight and foldable, too. You can buy a wooden toy bar to add on if you want extra stimulation for them while they’re in the chair, which makes a nice change from all the plastic options out there. This innovative bedside crib, which tucks neatly alongside an adult bed, means your baby can sleep next to you whenever you want. With a zip-down mesh wall, you can comfort little ones without having to get out of bed. It can also be used as a stand-alone crib for the nursery and finally, the removable rocking bassinet can be removed so you can rock them to sleep wherever you are.
Again, this is part of a wider range, allowing you to kit the whole nursery out in JCB theme if you so desire. But even on its own, this fun bookcase is charming. It’s easy to assemble, has three useful shelves and comes in one box. The vibrant yellow is cheery too. Don’t panic if you like the concept, but think this looks too big or the wrong shape, as there are loads of combinations and coloured draws to choose from. It’s nice and low, making it easy for children to reach and organise their things, and the frame has multiple grooves so you can place boxes and shelves where you want them. The Silver Cross Nostalgia range gets a huge thumbs up from us, for durability, beautiful design and nice neutral colouring.
