Choosing the right door for your PAX wardrobe can be tricky, especially if you want to coordinate it with wall paint, flooring or other furniture.
IKEA SMÅSTAD Changing Table – Smart Storage for Babies and Toddlers
14.07.2025
Forget basic changing tables – the IKEA SMÅSTAD system is a full-featured solution that grows with your child. Designed for smart storage, daily functionality, and a modern Scandinavian look, this changing unit offers everything from drawers and shelves to safety-focused design. All photos were taken by Mauritz in IKEA showrooms across Europe.
Why Choose the IKEA SMÅSTAD Changing Table?
This isn't just a diaper station – it's a complete storage system that combines:
-
A spacious changing surface
-
Deep drawers for clothes and baby gear
-
Open shelves for baskets and boxes
-
A modular design that can evolve as your child grows
The SMÅSTAD units use IKEA's custom drawer fronts in white and light wood tones, blending perfectly with modern nurseries or children's rooms.
Customizable Storage for Every Need
Whether you're storing baby wipes, clothing, or toys, the SMÅSTAD drawers and shelves give you plenty of flexibility. The photos above show how boxes like TJENA and KUGGIS can be used to keep everything neatly organized.
Each unit can be reconfigured or extended – perfect for adapting the space over time.
Comfortable and Safe Changing Surface
The raised sides of the changing top help keep your baby secure during diaper changes. IKEA recommends adding a soft, washable changing pad for comfort. The height is ergonomic, making it easier for parents to stand without strain.
What Happens When Your Baby Grows Up?
That's where SMÅSTAD truly shines. Once the diaper phase is over, simply remove the changing top. The remaining unit transforms into a dresser or toy storage – no need to buy new furniture.
Final Thoughts: A Long-Term Nursery Investment
With a clean design, clever storage, and child-safe dimensions, the SMÅSTAD changing table is one of the most versatile options in IKEA's lineup. If you want something that lasts beyond the toddler years, this is a smart investment.
When you step inside IKEA's wardrobe displays, one thing becomes clear: the PAX system is designed to give you structure and order. As you can see in this example, every shelf, drawer and rail has its place – making it easy to imagine how it would look in your own home.
The IKEA EKHOLMA sofa offers a relaxed and inviting look, perfect for anyone who wants a practical yet stylish seating solution. Shown here in the cover Hakebo dark grey, it has a versatile tone that blends seamlessly with both modern and traditional interiors. The fabric feels soft to the touch while still being durable enough for everyday use.
When space is limited, every detail matters. At IKEA Tempelhof in Berlin, Mauritz filmed a striking example of how a staircase can be combined with a kitchen to create both style and function.
Choosing between IKEA's BODBYN and STENSUND kitchen fronts can be surprisingly difficult. Both styles offer a timeless, traditional aesthetic with framed panel doors, soft colors, and matte finishes. But the differences in design detail, material, and overall feel can significantly impact the look and mood of your kitchen.
IKEA never stops surprising us with fresh designs, smart solutions, and stylish updates. During my latest visits to IKEA stores in Berlin, I discovered several new arrivals that stand out – from elegant tables to practical storage and updated classics. Here are five of the most interesting new products you can now find at IKEA.
