TROFAST in Kids’ Rooms – The IKEA Classic That Still Works Every Time

20.06.2025

When it comes to organizing a child's room, few IKEA products are as trusted and practical as TROFAST. With its modular frames and easy-to-handle bins, it's become a go-to for parents around the world. Whether you're dealing with LEGO chaos, endless art supplies, or stuffed animal mountains, TROFAST brings order without sacrificing style.

Here's why TROFAST remains a top choice for families – and how you can use it in your own space.

Simple, Functional Design That Grows with Your Child

TROFAST is more than a toy bin. Its low height and open bins make it easy for even toddlers to access their things. As your child grows, the system can be adapted – used for books, clothes, or even tech accessories.

You can mix and match frame sizes and choose between plastic bins or wooden drawers, giving you both flexibility and visual variety.

Smart Storage for Toys, LEGO, and Art Supplies

If you've ever stepped on a LEGO brick, you'll understand the value of sorted storage. TROFAST is perfect for:

  • Organizing bricks by color or type

  • Keeping small puzzles or action figures in one place

  • Creating a craft station with crayons, paper, scissors, and glue all in separate bins

Some parents add labels or icons to each bin to help kids clean up on their own.

Built-In Play Stations and Creativity Zones

TROFAST isn't just for storing – it can also become the furniture. Use it:

  • As the base for a play table with a LEGO top

  • With a cushion to create a low bench

  • As a creative divider between play and sleep areas

The solid top surface on some units makes it suitable for building, drawing, or even a mini puppet theater.

Pros of Using TROFAST

  • Affordable and modular

  • Kid-friendly height and soft-edged bins

  • Easily labeled and color-coded

  • Mixes with any interior style – from minimalist to playful

  • Widely available and replacement-friendly

Cons to Consider

  • Plastic bins can flex or crack over time with heavy use

  • Not ideal for very tight spaces unless mounted vertically

  • The look can feel "plasticky" unless styled with care

  • Open bins = visible mess if not maintained

Styling Tips to Make TROFAST Look Great

  • Stick to one or two bin colors for a calmer look

  • Add name or picture labels to help with routines

  • Pair with natural materials like a jute rug or wooden toys

  • Hang art or shelves above for vertical balance

The TROFAST series includes a range of products to suit your storage needs, including frames, boxes, and shelves. Frames are available in a range of sizes and colours, and the boxes are available in several sizes and colours. Plus, the boxes are made from non-toxic materials, making them safe for children to use.

TROFAST has earned its place as a staple in kids' rooms for a reason: it's practical, adaptable, and endlessly useful. With a little creativity, it becomes more than storage – it becomes part of how your child plays, learns, and lives.
