Trofast from IKEA is one of the smartest storage systems you can get for a kids' room. The bins come in multiple sizes and colors, can be expanded over time, and grow along with the toy collection and the child. Many people also add a tabletop to create a proper desk, craft table, or play table. The flexibility is a big part of the charm.
But no matter how well thought-out the system is, things get tricky when the number of bins adds up. Without labels, neither you nor your child knows what's where - and the hunting begins.
Bin labels make a difference - for the whole family
One sticker on each bin solves the problem! A clear symbol showing what belongs where means your child can find the right bin when playtime starts. Even better, the chances of everything actually getting put back in the right place go up significantly. The same goes for parents, siblings, or friends helping to tidy up.
At kulform.se you'll find a wide range of toy storage symbols - from classic motifs like toy car, building blocks, teddy bear and doll, to more specific ones like Duplo, Magna Tiles and symbols for Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol. All symbols are designed in the same style, so the result looks cohesive and considered no matter how many bins you label. The goal is for you to find exactly what matches your toys and reflects what your child is into.
Aesthetics and function - one doesn't exclude the other
Bins in a uniform color create a sense of calm in the room when the toys are put away. When you choose symbols for the bins, you get to decide how prominent they should be. The symbols come in four colors: black, white, silver, and gold. Choose a color with high contrast against the bin for a bold and playful look, or go tone-on-tone for a more subtle label that blends into the room's color scheme.
The symbols also come in two sizes, giving you even more options to find the best fit. For the larger Trofast bins, go with the larger size symbol. If you have lots of bins in varying sizes, choosing the small symbol throughout can give a calmer, more uniform look.
The Trofast wall unit with its smallest bins is a clever solution for a craft corner, and the small symbols fit those bins too. For craft supplies, the range of labels is especially broad - you can label everything: pencils, paper, beads, and scissors.
Choose exactly what you need - and add more as the toy collection grows
You choose freely which symbols you want for your storage and can easily add more as needs change. If there's a symbol you're missing, you're always welcome to get in touch with a request - the range grows continuously, often thanks to suggestions like yours! All symbols are designed and made locally by me at Kulform.
