9 Brilliant IKEA Hacks for Baby Nurseries
I don’t have any kids, but I imagine when I do, I’m going to have a “Disneyland” rule for their first Swedish flat-pack shopping trip: It’s not worth the money or the hassle to take them to IKEA before they turn 4 years old (at least, that’s when they’re first welcome at Småland). But you don’t have to take the babe shopping with you to give them their first taste of IKEA. Each of these hacks is completely inspiring, and so great for your baby’s nursery.
