Create the perfect nursery with IKEA hacks and natural materials
Looking for inspiration to give your child's room a fresh and functional upgrade? Discover how Rick transformed his child's room with stylish and practical DIY solutions, using IKEA products and of course plywood.
Modern children's desk with a natural look
Rick has created a space where children can play and learn with an eye for detail. The children's desk and matching play table are from the IKEA series SMÅSTAD and STUVA. They have been cleverly combined and adapted to fit the natural and calming atmosphere of the room.
Unique wall shelf as an eye-catcher
The colour combination of white and natural birch plywood is reflected in both the desk and the wall shelf. The wall shelf, made by TOSIZE.pl, contributes to the minimalist design and offers a solid place for books, toys and decorative plants.
The choice for Birch B/BB plywood
The wood type used, Multiplex Birch B/BB, 30 mm thick, provides a natural look and a warm contrast to the white furniture parts. The material is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also sturdy and durable, making it perfect for furniture in a child's room.
The benefits of making it yourself
Creating these pieces of furniture yourself offers flexibility and personal influence on the dimensions and choice of materials. Rick was able to respond to the specific needs of the children's room while staying within a realistic budget.
The Scandinavian style of Ricks project
The project reflects a Scandinavian style with its clean lines, light colours and the use of natural materials. This makes the furniture harmonise with the calm atmosphere of the room, an essential aspect for a space where children grow and learn.
Why Multiplex Birch B/BB is ideal for children's rooms
This type of wood is characterized by its light color and fine grain, which contributes to a calm and relaxed atmosphere. It is a material that stands out for its simplicity from the typical IKEA look, adding a touch of its own to existing furniture.

Delivery
General experience
Very handy and time-saving that TOSIZE.pl saws sheet material for you and delivers it to your home. It offers several advantages:
- Various quality classes of plywood can be ordered, higher quality classes give a better result if not painted.
- Easy ordering process with sawing planning, see which part of the plate is left, residual material can also be added.
- Straight cuts, for a better result.
- Delivered to your home, no lugging around sheet material that doesn't fit in your car. The time you need for this project is significantly reduced by ordering wood from TOSIZE.pl. You save yourself a trip to the hardware store (most hardware stores don't sell this quality/thickness/type of plywood) and you don't have to cram the sheet material into your own car, which then also has to be cleaned. At home, you don't have to get all your tools out of the closet to saw the sheets to size, which you can't actually do that straight and precisely with hobby tools. Because the sheets are already smaller upon delivery, they are easier to handle. You can mill the edges yourself for a nicer finish, but you can also have this done for a fee by TOSIZE.pl.
