Creating a calming space for kids in any room

Warmth is a style as well as a temperature. The decoration and soft colours in this room give a sense of belonging for everyone in the family, including the plush toys. Both adults and kids have their own space, like a private cubbyhole, but they’re all connected in both style and function. A safe haven in a busy world.

Creativity doesn’t need much space, just a little time

To create something together is the greatest way to connect, and the old classic ways to do so are as fun today as they were generations ago. When was the last time you took the time to draw or paint? Learning new ways to create something is rewarding in so many ways. We should all be allowed to pamper our inner artist at least once a day.

It might look like a small desk but it’s a complete world full of ideas

Your kids' private corner of the world doesn’t even need to be in a corner. The important thing is that it’s truly theirs, a place where only their creativity and imagination set the boundaries. Quite often the very best ideas are brought to life by tiny hands, kept busy by a small desk.

Moments too good to fly away from

An armchair and a hand puppet can be the beginning of a great story. This wise owl is probably wondering about your day, and it will be happy to listen to all your thoughts, high and low. With a little help from a hand, the owl will flap its wings to make sure you know it’s listening, but it will never fly away from this cozy moment. Although, when it sees someone yawn, it might hop over to a small bed and listen to the end of your story there instead. Feel free to follow, and have a really good night’s sleep.

Three different takes on one moment

Everybody in the family can enjoy the winding down-time together, even if you don’t all go to bed at the same time. While one is preparing the beds, one might be driving a train with very important goods on board and one is doing its best to delay that train… The main thing is that you’re all together – that’s always the best way to round up the day.

A cozy bed for everyone and everything

Knowing that everyone is safely tucked into their own bed, is the best condition for a good night’s sleep regardless of both age and, hmm… type of individual. Any complaints from the doll bed? Well, then they are of course welcome up to the bigger one. That’s another concept that goes for everyone in the family.

A room full of favourite corners

The bedroom is the most personal room of all, but it can still be shared with everyone in the family. The secret is to create different zones for each and everyone, and aim for well-planned storage. With SUNDVIK series of children’s furniture, the smaller pieces match the style of the grown-ups part of the room – or vice versa!
