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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
