Features of chests of drawers
A chest of drawers is an integral attribute of apartment furnishings. Its purpose is to store bedding, underwear, home textiles and other useful household items.
In addition, a modern chest of drawers can be used as a cabinet or TV stand or dressing table. It can stand both in the bedroom and in the hallway.
The wide range of models presented in the IKEA chest of drawers catalog allows you to choose exactly the product that will fit perfectly into your interior.
Chests of drawers are a good alternative to cabinets and standard storage units. Of course, installing such a piece of furniture requires a sufficient number of square meters. However, its spaciousness and stylish design make this product an ideal choice for the home.
A chest of drawers in white or black will always look more impressive than a box or hanging cabinet. These colors harmoniously combine with any interior color scheme, making the decor more graphic and interesting.
Advantages of storage systems for children's rooms from Ikea
Any child has a bunch of things (toys, clothes, books) that are always scattered around the room. All these “artifacts” need to be stored somewhere - in fact, this is the purpose of the cabinet. Storage systems developed by Ikea are, in fact, autonomous modules that can be placed in the nursery at your discretion, periodically changing the configuration.
IKEA specialists have long focused their attention on children. Furniture in this segment is constantly being improved, striving for simplicity, maximum functionality, convenience and environmental friendliness. At first, the company’s ideas seemed unusual, but soon parents had the opportunity to experience in practice the advantages of IKEA toy storage systems:
- thoughtfulness;
- practicality;
- variability;
- compactness;
- capacity;

IKEA designs are extremely functional and mobile, they can be easily integrated into any interior and combined with other pieces of furniture. This feature of the manufacturer turns out to be extremely important in limited spaces - for example, in children's rooms with an old layout.
An additional bonus is special baskets for toys and containers for laundry built into the modules.

One of the varieties of IKEA shoe racks, which can be installed at a convenient level, can easily fit into the prefabricated wall near the front door.
"Rust"
This line is preferred by adherents of such style trends as eco-style, Provence, and country.
The appearance is noteworthy. What makes it more impressive is the untreated pine – it is from this that the chest of drawers is made. Facade surfaces are characterized by the natural texture of wood, roughness, and natural colors.
Rast chests of drawers are a classic solution. They are equipped with three drawers and require wall mounting.
To increase durability, manufacturers advise using varnish, stain or wax. It's up to you to decide which processing option to choose. But remember that the use of such products may change the shade of the product.

Varieties
IKEA children's furniture is produced in series - this is what the entire classification is based on. Some series may be included in others. For example, there is a series of MAMMUT (lockers, cribs and shelves for children), part of which is the TROFAST series. In this section we will study the following series of storage systems for children's rooms:
- Trufast;
- Stuva;
- Kusiner;
- Paisslingar;
- Ordna;
- Krokig.
Some items from our review have long gone beyond ordinary furniture. For example, Krokig hooks are used for storing things and are formally considered a system, but they have nothing to do with a bulky cabinet or rack. But first things first.

Trufast
This shelving series also includes numerous boxes, bedside tables, drawers and shelves for storing toys. The design has an aesthetic appearance, it is easy to use and multifunctional.
Trufast frames include a system of strips and grooves that allow hanging containers to be placed inside the modules. If desired, these containers can be marked with special stickers, thus indicating the contents of the container. This makes cleaning the nursery a fun activity.
The shelving frame is sold in two varieties - from laminated chipboard or solid pine coated with matte varnish. The materials mentioned are harmless to your baby. Several system configurations are available:
- three-section;
- horizontal;
- single-section (low/high);
- staircase
The modules can be easily combined with each other and, if necessary, hung on the wall.
The color palette is quite varied and aimed at young children. For girls you can choose pink or white containers, for boys - red or green.
Putting toys in pull-out containers is extremely convenient. Here are the main advantages of the system noted by customers:
- quality of materials;
- environmental friendliness;
- good capacity;
- compactness;
- bright appearance;
- reasonable prices (2-10 thousand rubles).

Stuva
The STUVA combination is sometimes called a “room planner,” and for good reason. Furniture in this series copes with any task of storing children's things. One item can adapt to different age categories, needs and interiors.
The combination vaguely resembles a closet, but its functionality is much broader. If desired, STUVA turns into:
- dressing room;
- bedside table;
- mini chest of drawers
The toy storage boxes are equipped with wheels and slide out smoothly, so that the child does not have to force himself to open them. The functions of the handles are performed by special gaps - it is more convenient for the baby to grab onto them. Furniture with gaps will last much longer, because the fittings tend to break due to frequent use.
The components of the STUVA line are easily combined with each other - it all resembles an exciting children's construction set. By using colorful details, parents can create a joyful mood in the soul of their child.
The traditional advantage of Ikea furniture is environmental friendliness. The designers made modules from fiberboard, covering them with a special film. Combinations of chipboard coated with acrylic are also available. The cost of elements starts from 4300 rubles.

Kusiner
Perhaps the most unusual solution for a nursery proposed by IKEA developers. Designers completely abandoned wood and other bulky and expensive materials. “Kusiner” boxes are mesh cubes and cylinders equipped with special holders.
From the point of view of an ordinary person, this series can hardly be considered a “furniture” product, it is so revolutionary. The designers went beyond standard ideas about furniture, but at the same time remained true to the IKEA traditions - all the drawers are comfortable and extremely functional. Here are the main varieties of the Kusiner line:
- mesh basket (it comes with a fabric lid);
- bed mesh box;
- box;
- small baskets (3 pieces);
- hanging pockets;
- wall basket.
At first, the series seems frivolous, but once you purchase these items, you realize that the children’s space has become more orderly.
Kusiner modules are made from polyester and nylon. The thing is multifunctional - you can put sports equipment, clothes, toys, shoes there. Since the pockets are see-through, you can easily find any items.
Mesh boxes and baskets can be stacked along the walls, and hanging pockets can be placed at child shoulder level. The cost of the sets ranges from 200-300 rubles.

Paisslingar
The design of the Paisslingar modules is somewhat reminiscent of the previous series, but there are still some differences. The manufacturing materials are polypropylene and polyester. This means that the combinations include plastic parts and are more "rigid".
You need to take care of the Paisslingar carefully. These boxes are not suitable for bleaching, washing or ironing, so don’t think of throwing them in the washing machine.
The line is represented by the following products:
- boxes (large and small sizes);
- bed box;
- mirror;
- suitcase for toys;
- hanging pockets.
The products are reminiscent of ancient anachronisms that suddenly found themselves in your baby’s room. For example, a suitcase for toys looks like an old chest - however, it can be folded and taken with you everywhere. This thing costs 800 rubles.
Hanging pockets seem to be handicrafts. These are fabric “containers” for storing toys, magazines, coloring books and other small things. A children's room equipped with Peisslinger systems acquires the atmosphere of the unique comfort of an old house.

Ordna
The experiments are over. Here is a very serious line of mini-chests, each of which consists of five drawers. You can store anything in these children's chests of drawers:
- felt-tip pens and pencils;
- photographs and colored paper;
- plasticine;
- paints;
- toys;
- clothes.
The fronts of the drawers are decorated with cheerful drawings, so your little one will love the purchase. Like all IKEA products, mini chests of drawers have variability. You can turn the drawers over and radically change the pattern on the facade.
The cost of such a chest of drawers from IKEA is symbolic - 400 rubles. This is due to the low cost of the material used - recycled corrugated cardboard. There are a wide variety of designs, and instead of handles, round holes are used for opening.

"Brimnes"
This is an ideal choice for modern interior design trends such as techno and hi-tech. A distinctive feature is the top drawer made of tempered glass. When assembling furniture, this is where you need to pay maximum attention.
Transparent material gives the entire structure lightness and airiness. The rest of the body is made from laminated chipboards, which are then painted matte. The number of boxes can vary from 3 to 4.
IKEA assortment and nuances of placement in the interior
An ideal option for those who want to zone a room is Ikea wall shelves. Firstly, they are multifunctional. And secondly, with a creative approach to installation, they have many options for placement on the wall and make it possible to create interesting compositions.
Fans of experiments should complement this splendor with built-in lighting - the costs are minimal, and the effect is simply gorgeous!
Ikea wall shelves are presented in a variety of models: from the original to the simplest and from the elite to the most inexpensive. And if the former can serve as a bright decorative design element, the latter will be a successful solution to the problem of lack of space.
Both are endowed with similar qualities - modern, durable, easy to assemble and install.
And for those who like to sit comfortably with a book, Ikea book shelves will cheer you up for a long time. An open bookshelf placed above your favorite chair or sofa will allow you to look through your favorite work in your free minutes - you just have to stretch out your hand.
If you decide to hang a bookshelf in the living room, pay attention to closed options with sliding doors - they are not only decorative, but also extremely practical: for example, you can place a TV on such a shelf.
If there is no free wall in the room or you don’t want to cover it, an Ikea corner shelf will help out. Often such a design, made of plastic or glass, becomes an element of the design of a bathroom, the footage of which is very limited.
This shelf is incredibly compact and at the same time allows you to store both cosmetics and household chemicals at hand.
New items
New IKEA products include Nordmella chests of drawers. They are available in two versions - a wide low design with 4 drawers and a tall chest of drawers with 5 drawers. The latter is also equipped with a clothes rail. Black color. Mounting method: wall-mounted. Material – chipboard, fibreboard.
Another innovation is the glass tabletop “Hemnes”. Purpose – decorative coating for the corresponding line of chests of drawers.
In addition, the tabletop protects furniture from mechanical impact. You can also store photographs and drawings under glass.
A well-chosen IKEA chest of drawers will complement any decor. You will definitely appreciate its capacity and practicality. Similar products from this manufacturer are quite in demand.
An IKEA chest of drawers can be placed in the living room, nursery, bedroom or hallway. It doesn’t matter at all if it is not from the same set as other furniture elements. If you choose the current color, this product can become the main accent of the interior.
Universal open shelves
Niches, corners and simply free sections of walls in a modern house are equipped with shelves that simultaneously perform two functions - organizer and decor.
IKEA wall shelves are presented in a variety of designs (multi-storey and single, with or without a back wall, with drawers and horizontal partitions), fastener locations (bottom, top, hidden), materials (MDF, wood, combined options with silver, copper and ferrous metal, mesh). There are models in minimalist, modern, country and retro styles.
