IKEA offers so many products that can grow with your kid or even be used in other ways. I can equally imagine this in a modern, Scandinavian living room as I can in a child’s room as a dollhouse. And when that child outgrows the dollhouse, tack it to the wall and use it for book storage or trinket collections!
