Designer thoughts
Designers Johanna Jelinek and Sarah Fager
”We designed PÅHL to make a flexible desk that suits different needs. It grows with your child thanks to the three different heights, and has a design and quality that makes it easy to use and love for many years to come. We wanted the desk itself to be as basic as possible, so that everyone can add whichever functions they wish. And only pay for what they really want and need.”
Material
What is constructed board?
We use constructed boards when manufacturing many of our pieces of furniture, such as tables and wardrobes. They are light yet still stable and strong. Each board has a frame made of chipboard, fibreboard or solid wood, while the inside is a honeycomb filling structure made of mostly recycled paper, which is extra durable thanks to its special construction. The board is then covered with a protective paint, foil or veneer depending on the style wanted.

Ideas and inspiration
“Home idea with IKEA”: a neat and tidy room for a first-former
Meet one of the youngest heroes of this season. Her name is Ida and she is a proud collector of puzzles, as well as a first-former to be. As the girl has been growing faster than her room, it needed a complete makeover, which IKEA interior designer Birutė was happy to give.
Before and after: a room which even princesses would envy
This week, we are guests of Kamilė and Gabija, two little sisters sharing one room. As the girls grew, their small room became too cramped, thus their older brother agreed to swap and leave his bigger room for the sisters. See how interior designer Gabrielė managed to turn a former teenage space into a room for two amazing girls.

Organisation helps good habits start early
It's easier to keep things tidy in the kids’ room when there's a place for everything. Good storage can even make it fun for them to stay organised all by themselves – the more so if you let them decide where each thing should go.
“Home idea with IKEA”: a room for siblings and all their belongings
Greetings from Šiauliai, where the charming family of Čeponiai resides. In their not quite big home, the two children, seven-year-old Patricia and five-year-old Motiejus, live in a shared room. With Patricia already attending school and Motiejus on the verge of beginning, both require a dedicated space to concentrate on their homework or engage in crafts without interruption. The challenge? Of course. Have we managed to overcome it? Don't even doubt it.
