Looking for a practical and stylish way to share your bedroom with a baby? IKEA has created a beautiful solution in this real showroom setup, combining smart storage, soft textiles, and clever furniture placement – all within one cohesive space.
Whether you're short on space or simply want to keep your baby close during the first months, this layout offers great inspiration for how to make it work.
The room features a calm white and grey palette with soft patterns in navy and floral tones. The adult bed anchors the space with deep blue paisley bedding and decorative cushions, while the baby's corner blends in seamlessly thanks to matching tones and gentle lighting.
White lace curtains above the bed and grey blackout drapes behind the crib add layers of coziness and flexibility depending on the time of day.
At the heart of the nursery setup is the GULLIVER crib in white. It's simple, affordable, and space-saving, perfect for a shared room. The clean, classic design makes it easy to match with other furniture, while the compact footprint fits even in small bedrooms.
GULLIVER Crib Measurements:
Free height under crib: 4 3/4" (12 cm)
The mattress base can be set at two different heights, making it safer and more practical as your baby grows. One side of the crib can also be removed completely, turning it into a toddler-friendly daybed once your child can climb in and out independently.
A chest of drawers doubles as a changing station, with the SKÖTSAM changing pad placed neatly on top. This setup is ideal for saving space without sacrificing comfort or storage. Everyday essentials like creams, wipes, and diapers can be stored in the upper drawers for quick access during nighttime changes.
Above the crib, a wall-mounted fabric organizer with floral pockets adds a charming yet functional touch, ideal for small toys or pacifiers.
What makes this room really stand out is how much storage it offers without feeling cramped. The built-in wardrobes and glass-door cabinets hold clothing and accessories for both baby and parents, while still leaving plenty of open floor space.
These are part of IKEA's TYSSDAL wardrobe system, known for its timeless look and clever functionality.

If you're looking for a complete baby-changing solution, IKEA's SMÅSTAD changing table is another excellent option – especially if you prefer a standalone unit with built-in storage and extended worktop space.
