We have been looking at a set of school furniture for our eldest child for a long time, and we spotted an option from IKEA from friends: a POL desk and a chair for a JULES schoolchild. We already have a set of furniture for the Demi school at home; we’ll tell you why and why we needed a second one.
It's simple. At the age of 7, my parents discovered that the baby doll had grown and did not fit at the children's table in the kitchen. He looked comical on an adult chair at an adult table. Therefore, a children's chair with height adjustment was needed so that the child felt comfortable at the adult table. So we thought about YULES.
In addition, since the youngest child also began to claim his own workplace, another desk was needed. So we started thinking about GENDER.
After two years of using Demi furniture, one big inconvenience was discovered. Heavy weight. Really heavy desk and chair! The mobility of the kit is zero. Therefore, we will compare our purchases with a transforming desk and a “Demi” chair.
The story about our first purchase is in the publication of the transforming desk “Demi”.
Workplace tables
Computer desk
The main thing you will need to look at when choosing a desk for your office is:
is there enough space for a computer, so that it is located 60 cm or 70 cm from the eyes, and also, is there a special niche for the system unit? Is it possible, in addition to a monitor, to put speakers and a printer on the table, is there a retractable panel on such a table for keyboards, does the table have shelves and the necessary drawers, since this is no less important. For a small room, a corner table is perfect, as it does not take up much space, and for a large room, a rectangular table is perfect
To determine whether the table is suitable for your height, you just need to sit down at it and spread your arms completely on it; if it suits your height, then your shoulders will be in their normal position, but if not, then your shoulders will be either lowered or, on the contrary, high.
Desk
Choosing a desk is a little more difficult than choosing a computer desk, however, this procedure is even more important. Here you should also take into account the size of the room, its capacity, and the convenience behind it. Today, many people have begun to buy two-in-one tables, where there is a niche for a computer and a place for writing. The only difference between a desk and a computer table is the large tabletop, on which there must be free space for placing books and all kinds of notebooks.
Here are a few criteria to consider when choosing a table:
- The height of the table, which can be easily determined in a sitting position. If your elbow, which is lowered down, is 0.05 m below the table, then this is an ideal table, and that’s what you need to buy.
- The width of the table should be at least 0.6 m, a suitable length of 0.8-1 m and width of 0.7-0.8 m, in order to ensure the most satisfactory distance of the computer at eye level. The legs under the table should be located 0.15-0.2 m from the table to the knees. It is also necessary to provide excellent table lighting. It is better to buy table lamps or lamps, and during the day the table should be well lit from the window, so it is better to place it near the window.
And at the end of this article, I would like to say, no matter what table you have to choose, choose it from Ikea, because only here you can find any suitable table, of any quality and at any cost. Children's tables, coffee tables, kitchen countertops and much more.
Minnen series
The Minnen series is represented by 2 cribs, which are intended for girls. Their graceful appearance is like that of a princess from a fairy tale.
The presence of a sliding frame allows you to adjust the dimensions to the child’s height individually.
This object can be made the basis of the entire interior and with its help you can create a fabulous room design.
To finally decide on the future appearance, it is worth considering several factors: for a boy or a girl, you need furniture, the appearance of the room (it’s easier if renovations are underway or planned, because then it can be decorated in any way you like).
Characteristics and advantages of Ikea tables

When we buy furniture for home, first of all we are interested in whether it is safe, whether it will last long and whether it will fit into the interior of the room. If you are looking at a table for an office, then it should be comfortable and multifunctional. And if the table is necessary for eating, then it must withstand long-term use. If a table is chosen for a living room, then it should not be large, but roomy so that you can put a newspaper or book on it. And at the same time I want to save money, but get quality furniture. Therefore, the best option would be IKEA tables.
Tables from this company have many advantages:
High functionality. Ikea tables have many shelves and various add-ons, thanks to which you can place all the necessary items and there will always be space. Compact. Furniture from the company is extremely compact, so it can be placed in any corner or niche without taking up too much space. Large selection. This is the only furniture company that has such a huge range of products. At Ikea, you can find any table, from modern to classic. Furniture design. All the furniture of the company is designed in a strict design, so you can always choose a cabinet for a table or a chair for a cabinet, as they are made in one harmonious ensemble. Eco-friendly. All furniture from this company is made of safe materials, both for humans and the environment. Cost. In the company's furniture list, you can always choose furniture that matches the quality and wallet.
Speaking about the advantages of Ikea furniture, do not forget that it also has disadvantages:
All Ikea furniture looks simple, as it is produced for ordinary people, so if you need a massive table made of expensive material, then you definitely will not like the furniture from the presented company. Furniture here is produced in large batches, so there are many identical models; if you need something unique, then this is definitely not about Ikea. Prices at Ikea are, of course, cheap, but the furniture is not always of high quality; if you want the furniture to last for at least 5 years, take furniture that is more expensive.
Boy's room
The IKEA children's furniture collections are dominated by milky and cream shades, thanks to which all items fit perfectly with the overall design of almost any children's room.
If you need to select furniture for a boy, you can easily do this by selecting a module of the appropriate color in the company’s catalog.
As a rule, interior items that are green, blue or white are selected for a boys’ room. In addition, children's furniture for boys should be practical and easy to clean. That is why specialists coat particle boards with a special acrylic composition.
To give such furniture its original appearance, simply wipe it with a damp cloth.

Ikea furniture is always functional. Thus, Ikea tables are equipped with a large number of special superstructures and shelves that allow you to place a lot of necessary things on it, while still leaving enough space for comfortable work.
Ikea furniture is always compact. Ikea furniture designers create furniture models that can be placed anywhere, for example, corner furniture allows you to put it in a corner, and built-in furniture fits comfortably in a niche, thus freeing up space.
Furniture manufacturer Ikea always offers a huge range of models.

Dressing table

Every lady should have this table model, because you simply cannot do without it. Jars, ointments and all kinds of cosmetics are traditionally placed on such a table; there is always a mirror on it, behind which you can create makeup or, on the contrary, remove it. Ikea has the largest selection of dressing tables:
- Traditional console tables, with a mirror and numerous drawers;
- Trellis with a mirror, which has three doors in the center;
- A dressing table with a huge wall-length mirror or a folding mirror attached to a lowerable table.
The choice of any of the options presented depends only on you, however, even here you will need to calculate the space in the room. If the bedroom is not large, then it can be enlarged visually by using a large mirror in the room. This can also be done through lighting; purchase wall lamps that will not take up much space and will increase it.
Expert advice
Since the interior of the IKEA children's room is presented in a wide selection, young and loving parents should take advantage of the presented moment. When choosing furniture and creating a finished prototype in your home, you should consult with your child and show him a number of examples in the photo in the magazine.
After all, sometimes little children’s fantasies want to combine incongruous things. To do this, you can invite your child to combine two matching designs.
After combining room decorations and furniture from two or three different Ikea interiors, think about their new arrangement. This is easy to do using a special program that can be found on the official website.
Position the walls, window and doorway according to your room.
Now start the experiment: change the design of the walls, introduce new colors in the form of additional decorative elements. Have you noticed how the children's room has changed? Show it to your child.
If he likes it, then you can go to the store and start decorating.
Ikea desks design and range
The simplest Ikea desks in terms of design are included in the Bekant line. They are distinguished by their simple shape, reminiscent of a school desk, and are not equipped with shelves or drawers. Such tables have a rectangular or angular shape; there are also transforming models that allow you to change the position and height of the table top for the convenience of working while sitting or standing. The Bekant desk is ideal for an office or for a student’s room, who can also use it as a computer desk.
Among the simple desks with drawers, we can highlight the white Alex models with two drawers under the tabletop and the Arkelsthorn model with a contrasting solid pine top and side drawers. These tables have a front panel finish, so they can even be installed in the center of the room.

The color range of Ikea desks is presented in neutral shades, suitable for any interior. These can be either light tones of natural wood, white, or dark shades of brown, gray, black. Some models have brightly colored frames or individual elements; these colors may overlap with other furnishings.

Lexvik
There is a mini-line “Lexvik”, which consists of sliding products. They can grow larger thanks to this ability.
For example, a crib equipped with an extendable frame is ideal for a school-age child, because children are actively growing during this period.
After all, not every family can afford to constantly buy a new one with a different size.
They are characterized by a simple design in a minimalist style, and price tags start at 10,000 rubles.
Regular lunch table
First, you need to determine the dimensions of the future table, you need to find out where to put it and how many people it will accommodate.
The table must accommodate at least four guests, each member in the family has 0.6 m2. For a family with more than six members, it is better to purchase a transforming table. The excellent width of the tabletop is 0.8-1 m, which is very comfortable for serving, will not interfere with taking dishes and does not take up much space in a small kitchen. Circle-shaped tables are well suited for families with more than eight members. A suitable diameter is 1.35 m. Instead of a circular table, you can take a rectangular or oval-shaped one; they can accommodate a large company well. A circle-shaped table adds “lightness” to the kitchen, but it is also not suitable for everyone. The most versatile type is a table with right corners; it can be installed against a wall or in the middle of the kitchen.
Coffee table
There are several points about IKEA coffee tables that will help you decide on their choice:
The length, height and width of such a table are very dependent on each other, because the wider it is, the higher it is and vice versa. Thus, the developers of the tables made it more aesthetically pleasing. If the table will be used as a serving table, then buy one with wheels, this way it will be more convenient. If something heavy will be placed on the table, for example a laptop, it is better to choose a table with a heavy load. Today, glass tables, which the company produces from unbreakable glass, are very popular. At the same time, a table made of glass visually increases the space. Many tables from the company have special shelves, newspaper holders, which are very convenient for storing various small items. Some tables from Ikea can be transformed from coffee tables into tables for eating.
Kura
Also, the small collection “Kura” consists of a bed in a unique style (double-sided model), as well as a mattress that is suitable for either side. You can also purchase a canopy for it, which will clearly decorate the product and make it more attractive for the baby.
Prices start from 14 thousand.

Flaws
Ikea desks, despite all their advantages, are not without disadvantages, including:
Mass production - huge batches of products that are produced significantly reduce the chances of creating a unique interior. But you can always make your table individual by decorating it to your taste or combining it in an original way with other furnishings. If you want exclusive furniture, then it is better to pay attention to other manufacturers, but their prices will be significantly higher. Simplicity is one of the main principles of Ikea, which can get in the way if you want to create an elaborate interior with an abundance of decorative details. The manufacturer simply does not have such tables (with carved legs, patterned tabletops, etc.). But such interior items, as a rule, are generally created to order, so this cannot even be called a disadvantage.

Decorative elements according to the store's choice
The Ikea store offers a wide selection of various decorative elements. Thanks to them, the entire interior of the children's room is created. As a rule, the proposed decorative elements do not represent any complex attributes.
They are easy to create yourself, having a pleasant time with your child.
The simplest decor offered by IKEA includes framed paintings that are placed on the walls in a certain order, resulting in an overall composition.
Do something similar with your child by doing the following:
- Draw a picture on a large sheet of paper. Preferably simple and uncomplicated - this is a children's room and a child's drawing.
- Divide it into separate pieces of different sizes. Consider standard photo frame sizes.
- On new sheets of paper with the child, display individual fragments in an enlarged format. Use convenient materials for drawing: watercolors, gouache, crayons, colored or simple pencils.
- Insert the pictures into the frames and arrange them according to the chosen composition.
- Take a closer look at other decorative elements and try to recreate them yourself. Subsequently, admiring them will be much more pleasant.
