New sustainable kids range coming soon to IKEA

Lately, I can hardly keep up with new product announcements from IKEA. The mothership seems to be firing out new collections at a fast and furious pace.

Just a few weeks ago, they announced OMEDELBAR, the goth and glam collection. And then on @ikeatoday, they gave a sneak peek of FREKVENS, a party range? (I don’t know how else to term it) in collaboration with Teenage Engineering. It features an electronic choir, vinyl player, party lighting and everything you need to throw a really good party.

There’s a lot going on at IKEA. And some of it is really good news. Like the DJUNGELSKOG, IKEA’s soon to be launched kids range that has sustainability at its core.

Besides looking so darn cute, it’s made from all things good, using the latest in eco-friendly techniques.

DJUNGELSKOG, which means Jungle Forest in English, has a big mission, Agnieszka Lachowicz, Children’s Sales Leader, IKEA UK and Ireland, explained in a feature in Ideal Home. “We believe that when children play together they connect, learn and grow — and through DJUNGLESKOG we are focused on ensuring that children learn about the environment and become more aware of protecting it,” says Agnieszka Lachowicz, Children’s Sales Leader, IKEA UK and Ireland. “We also hope it will help educate on animals at risk and build a love that will hopefully lead to the protection of these species in the future.”

IKEA’s new kids range has sustainability at its heart

The range features soft furnishing, toys and books aimed at kids aged from three to seven. Parents can use the books to teach children about at-risk animals and caring for the environment.

And more good news. IKEA uses pigment paint — a process which uses 40% less water compared to traditional printing techniques — on all soft furnishings in the DJUNGELSKOG range. The cotton used for the range is all from sustainable sources in compliance with IKEA’s Better Cotton Initiative.

SKÅDIS: 5 ways to make the IKEA pegboard even better

IKEA introduced its own pegboard system, SKÅDIS, two years ago and I’d say it’s one of the best systems IKEA launched in recent years.

KALLAX desk ideas: Three ways to set up a workstation

Three great ideas for a KALLAX desk . #1 Compact, minimalist desk for laptop I put together a KALLAX desk for my laptop for just under 25 euros. Just a KALLAX 2×2 is needed. No other materials required. IKEA item used: KALLAX 2 x 2 (77 x 77 cm) KALLAX 2×2 | IKEA.com All you need to do is assemble 3 of the pieces in a U shape. That is all. If you want to strengthen the structure you would need to drill a couple of holes in order to use the long middle shelf of the KALLAX unit as a back reinforcer. Easy and it works. ~ by Fabio Tudela #2 KALLAX standing desk I choose to stand at work because it makes me feel infinitely more productive.

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
