KALLAX is a fan favorite when it comes to dividing space, but it's not always the easiest to move around. If you live in a small apartment, like to change up your layout often, or just want something lighter, IKEA has several room divider options that are stylish, portable, and easy to fold or roll away.
SMÅSTAD/PLATSA from IKEA: A Smart and Adaptable Storage Solution for Kids

IKEA's SMÅSTAD/PLATSA series offers a versatile and efficient storage solution tailored for children's spaces. This collection is designed to adapt to the evolving needs of growing children, providing both functionality and style.
The SMÅSTAD/PLATSA system is highly modular, allowing for various configurations to suit different room layouts and storage requirements. For instance, the wardrobe combination measuring 60x42x181 cm is available in multiple finishes, including white and birch, and can be customized with different handles and knobs to match the room's decor.

Integration with Other Furniture
The modular nature of the SMÅSTAD/PLATSA system allows for creative integrations. For example, storage units can be configured to function as bed frames, with space underneath for a bed or a desk, maximizing room utility. This flexibility makes it possible to design multifunctional spaces that cater to both rest and study areas within a child's room.

One notable feature is the option to integrate open sections within the units. These open spaces can house storage boxes like the UPPRYMD series, enhancing organization and accessibility. Additionally, accessories such as the RASSLA organizer with five compartments can be utilized to subdivide larger spaces within the cabinets, providing tailored storage solutions for various items.

This cabinet in natural colors comes with Lappmes handles. This unit is also equipped with Stuk storage boxes which fits well in Platsa, Småstad.
IKEA's SMÅSTAD/PLATSA series stands out as a practical and stylish solution for children's storage needs. Its modular design, customizable features, and adaptability to a child's growth make it a valuable addition to any home seeking to optimize space and organization in children's rooms.
