Get creative with your time at home
Every child is an artist and while you spend more time at home now, make some art with them and let your imagination run wild. Here are three ways to let creativity flow freely – clean and simple.
1. The art studio with built-in cleaning
Your glass door or windows at home work wonders as a canvas for watercolours. Kids can express their artistic will, (almost) without any limitation. When the session is over, you decide how long the gallery will last – before easily washing it away.
An all-weather colour palette
Whether they’re used for toiletries or for assisting young painters, suction-cup baskets hold everything you need right where you want it, come rain or shine.
Your next empty canvas is a stroke away
Doubling as an eraser for wet conditions, a squeegee keeps the glass windows and doors clear. Either to clean a surface for the next painting, or when the art studio is closed altogether.
2. The mini studio in the cabinet
When painting and drawing sessions are frequent, it may be time for a full-time studio (a very small one). Let a pair of cabinets house it all. The activity is easy to contain, and can be taken out and hidden away in no time.
3. The painter’s den under the table
Children’s imagination runs free, and so do they. Therefore it’s a good idea to have an art studio with full mobility. Easily moved equipment, something to handle possible accidents – and they’re free to go where inspiration leads them.
Your magic clean-up carpet
No matter how much we appreciate the artistic ambitions of our kids, some cautionary measures apply. Like a floor protector to avoid permanent art where it’s not supposed to be.
A portable toolbox of creativity
Pens, brushes, paint and more – all the equipment collected and organised wherever it goes. Needless to say, perfect for budding artists. Now it can take them anywhere.
We love to see our customers get creative with our products. Go for it! But please note that altering or modifying IKEA products so they can no longer be re-sold or used for their original purpose, means the IKEA commercial guarantees and your right to return the products will be lost.
