Smart craftmanship is our take on quality furnishing: design
in every detail, and the finest materials inside and out for
ultimate comfort. The wear and tear of everyday life only
make these pieces even more beautiful - before passing them
onto the next generation. And finally, it wouldn’t be Smart
Craftsmanship, if the price didn’t make you feel a bit clever.

LIVING WITH CHILDREN
Life is what happens
right now.
Children want to spend more time with their parents. It’s a wish that doesn’t come with any
requirements. All time spent together has the same value. A visit to an amusement park isn’t worth
more than hanging out together in the living room, just enjoying being close as a family. Very often,
the most ordinary things are often the most memorable that we carry with us for the rest of our
lives. And the most precious thing in a home isn’t the sofas or the computers or the new kitchen –
it’s the time spent together. Even when the family isn’t doing anything special, they’re still spending
time together and that’s what counts. Time is valuable. But time together is priceless.
Families with children have huge needs and little time, money, patience and space. Creating a warm
and inviting environment where everyone, big andsmall alike, is involved and has a place is one
of the big challenges. There needs to be space for storage and seating for adults and children. It
needs to allow the family to be together in the same space, with each member feeling comfortable.
At IKEA, we help make time and space for being together. From designing safe, functional products
to stocking child-friendly stores with free baby food, we take care of the details so you can focus
more on the fun stuff. It’s all part of creating a better everyday life at home — the most important
playground for the most important people in the world.
71%
of parents want to
have more time to
chill out with their
children. Not doing
anything special

it’s together.
71%

LIVING WITH CHILDREN
Children allowed in
every room.
Have you ever tried to see your own
home through the eyes of a child?
Perhaps you’d like to hang a swing
from the ceiling? Maybe you think
the shelves in the hall are far too
high up? Or do you possibly want to
move the sofa into the kitchen? One
thing’s clear. The chances are, you’ll
start to see life at home from a totally
different perspective.
85%
of parents agree that
‘children learn more if
they are encouraged
to relax and have a
playful outlook’.
My world, my home.
For the first few years of a child’s life,
the home is the whole world for that
child. It’s a world that has to cope with
an everyday life filled with adventure,
daring voyages of discovery and
fascinating experiments.
We adults can never foresee what kids
will get up to, and what new ways they
will find to use the furniture and other
possessions we have in the home.
One moment they are lying on a sofa;
the next the same sofa has become
a mountain which simply has to be
climbed and conquered.
As they grow older, home becomes a
safe “base”. A place where they have
their own things and can do what they
want – draw, play computer games or
challenge dad to a game of twister. An
environment where they feel relaxed
and can develop together with the
rest of the family.

I’m going to build a castle.
What we adults can do is create the right conditions for play. Children may be
the smallest members of the family, but it seems they still need more room
than anyone else. If the various areas of the home are used for many different
purposes, it’s easier for play to find a natural place in daily life. The kitchen
table, for instance, can double as a table tennis table or an artist’s studio. And
a big sofa provides room for both playing and reading. Furniture you can stack,
fold up or roll out of the way means the living room works well not only for the
TV news, but also as a makeshift disco.
It’s a mystery how small children suddenly grow into bigger ones. Before you
know it, the baby on the changing table will be coming home with schoolbooks,
four friends and an electric guitar. That’s what makes extendable beds and
desks with height-adjustable legs such smart investments. Locking drawers are
invaluable for keeping secrets safe from inquisitive little brothers and sisters.
And a sofa-bed makes it easy to invite a friend to sleepover now and again.

01Rounded edges or corners make
it safer for children. Light or wheeled
furniture is flexible and allows children
to move it without hurting themselves
e.g. to create a larger play area.

03Smaller, child-sized furniture is
often safer and more comfortable
for small bodies than adult furniture,
since children do not have to climb
or strain to reach it or sit in it. Plus
it makes them feel all grown-up and

It isn’t really lost until your mum cannot find it.
A home doesn’t have to be crowded and chaotic simply because
there are more of you than there used to be. The solution lies in
sensibly planned storage.
10Create storage at different heights
so that family members of different
ages can reach their own things.
Especially for children, they like
to be taken seriously and enjoy
small responsibilities. See more
BESTÅ storage combinations
in the IKEA store.
11Toy boxes on castors are easy for
children to move around so they can
play everywhere. They are also easy
and fun to fill up and rollaway when
playtime is over.
12Taking care of their belongings and
organising their own drawers at a
height they can see can be a fun
task. Floor-level storage is perfect
for the smallest member of the
family. STUVA series is easy to
add on and versatile to be used in
any room.
13Portable boxes and containers are
convenient for collecting all sorts of
things such as toys or crayons.
SAMLA boxes open big and wide so
kids can peek in and grab their toys
or materials whenever imagination
strikes.
From nappies to teens…
During the first years of a child’s life
things develop at a furious pace:
from nappies and baby food to discos
and “no parents allowed” notices.
It’s not easy to keep up.
A home needs to adapt simply to
a family’s changing needs if both
children and adults are to be happy.
It has to work well for rest and play,
kids’ parties and dinner parties
– and be practical, safe and easy
to keep clean.

Make sure all curtain cords in the
home are short and electrical
cables are secured, so they do
not get in children’s way.
20Say “yes” to adventure
Sure, accidents happen, especially when yo have kids. But being prepared can
prevent many or stop them becoming more serious. Everyday life is simpler
and more relaxed if you don’t always have to nag the children to be careful
and worry about trapped little fingers, burns, bumps and falls. IKEA
products are tested, analysed and approved to meet the strictest safety
criteria in the world. We have, for example, our own test lab to help us,
with technicians trained to foresee even the most unlikely situations that
may arise. Our home safety and child safety products are simple to install
and use, and span every area of the home.
Children should be allowed the odd misjudgement when climbing, jumping and
poking about without this resulting in accidents. Chairs that stand firm, rounded
corners and extra low beds all help to make life safer for children and give parents
more peace of mind. Children play the way they want, not the way parents expect
them to. It can be difficult for adults to foresee what children will get up to, that is
where we come in. A hob guard, bookcase anchors, child-resistant sockets, window
locks, drawers and chemical cabinets… all make it easier to say “yes” to adventures
at home.
It pays to be safe, but it doesn’t cost a lot with our low IKEA FAMILY member prices for
our PATRULL range. See more at www.IKEA.co.th/FAMILY or visit your nearest IKEA store.
Choose toys carefully –
make sure there are on bits
that can come off and choke
a child, have no strings or
cords longer than 12inches,
and are not too heavy.
Children love to climb.
Attach high furniture,
cabinets and shelves

SMÅLES
IKEA’s club for
4-12 year olds
Children are the most important people in
the world and they deserve to have a special
experience when they visit the IKEA store.
Did you know that småles is not linked to the play area Småland?
It’s true! Entry to Småland play area is dependent on the kid’s height, whereas anyone can become
a småles member for free, as long as he/she is between the ages of 4-12 years old.
So what does a småle get? Let’s follow Mathilda, a 4-year-old småles member around and see what
she does in the IKEA store.
Mathilda scans her
Smålish passport before
taking her parents to
the IKEA Restaurant
Every time she visits,
Mathilda scans her
Smålish passport at the
mushroom located next
to Bug House to receive
a free drink & discounted
meal coupon.
Mathilda stays
informed so she
does not miss any
in-store events
A special website
and newsletter
for Smålish
citizens allow
them to stay in
touch with upcoming
events, learn about
sustainability, etc.
Mathilda gathers up
newspapers for the store
to use at wrapping tables
Mathilda, gets ready
for every store visit
by gathering up old
newspapers. She knows
that recycling and
environmental awareness
are important parts of
participating in the
småles programme.
Mathilda earns Smålish
dållars and exchanges
her dållars for events
and merchandise
Each time she brings
newspaper to the store,
she earns Smålish
“dållars”. And these
are what will allow her
to participate in fun
events and buy Smålish
merchandise.
The IKEA kid’s club called småles (pronounced as smalls)
is free for all kids aged 4-12 years old to join. See more

SELECTING COOKWARE
Cooking can be so much more enjoyable if you
are properly equipped. Besides choosing by
function, a big consideration is heat conductivity.
The better the heat conductivity, the more evenly
your food will cook. It also means that when
you turn the heat up or down, the reaction time
in terms of temperature change will differ. You
should also take note how some metals react
with certain food.
Stainless steel
Durable and impact-resistant
Durable stainless steel gives pots and pans a long life.And because it is dishwashersafe, it is easy to maintain and keep shiny. For all round flexibility, usability and
price, stainless steel cookware would be at the top of the list. A three-layer base,
containing aluminium offers more efficient heating from the bottom as stainless
steel on its own doesn’t conduct heat as well.
Care tips: Lime water, salt water, lemon and vinegar can leave stains on the metal.
Staining can be prevented by not adding salt until the water has come to a boil.
Aluminium/non-stick coated
The best of both
Aluminium gives you quick reaction
to burner adjustments and even heat
distribution. Plus, they are dish-washer
safe. Suitable for almost any kind of food.
A bonus if it’s non-stick coated.
16 IKEA FAMILY news
Frying pan
Heat quickly
and flip easily
The large surface
is designed to
handle all your
meatballs and
big stacks of
pancakes. Plus the
low sides make it
easy to slide food
over to your plate.
Sauté pan
Keep the heat on
Brown meat, fry
vegetables and
reduce liquids with
maximum heat.
Thanks to the pan’s
high sides, you
can do it all with
minimum spills and
splashes. There’s
also a handy lid to
prevent food from
drying out.
SENSUELL series

Sauteuse 1,890 THB Ø24, H9cm. Holds 2L.
Frying pan 1,490 THB Ø28, H6cm.
Care tips: Protect the non-stick coating
by always washing by hand. Do not use
metal cleaning scourers or utensils or you
would damage the non-stick coating. Also,
store the pans properly so they are not
scratched, and always let the pans cool
down before washing or they may warp
from drastic water temperature change.
Pot
For lots
of food or
lots of mouths
Think pasta, soup
and corn on the
cob. A pot holds
2 litres or more,
with 2 handles that
make it easy to
move despite its
weight and size.

all, but a saucepan

Because of its
compact size and
shape, it’s also
helpful when you
need to heat up a

Casserole
Food that

most of the
work for you,
on a hob or in

for browning

stews and dishes
that require
slow simmering.

SELECTING COOKWARE
Sauteuse
Part saucepan,
part sauté pan
Great for meaty
spaghetti sauces
and curries. First,
fry your meat or
vegetables, then
add the sauce
and let it all
boil together.
By lining up the handles you can create
a small gap between the pot and lid. This
prevents the water from boiling over and
makes it easy to pour out the water.
There are certain knives every family needs. But how do you
choose a knife? Let these kitchen helpers make cooking easy
for you.
Things to consider
• Buy the appropriate knife for the work you
want it to do.
• The steel is very important in a knife and
should be easy to maintain.
• A knife should be sturdy and feel good in the hand.
• Check the tang (how far the blade goes back
into the handle). The further it goes, the more
stable it is.

Throwing a party can
be stressful. While
food and decoration
is the big focus, the
considerate host will
need to anticipate other
needs – even basics like
extra seating could be
easily forgotten. Here
are some of our top
suggestions to make
things a little better.

Photoframes can be used
as ‘nametags’ for table
seating, labels for dishes,
or display of recipes.
Additional space to put
the dishes, especially for
buffets. Try foldable tables,
or sidetables with castors.
Door gifts? How about
growing some seedlings in
baking cups to give away.
Encourage guests to help
sort waste and recycle (e.g.
empty drink cans and beer
bottles in different bags).

PARTY TIPS
Throwing a party and
not sure what to do?
Here are some simple
tips by Angie-Law Smith,
a chief stewardess of
a private jetliner and
guest chef instructor
at Palate Sensations.
1. Set the table in season
before your guests arrive.
Decorate with flowers,
candles and use decoration
that match with the theme.
A softer, warmer, dimmer
light is just cozier overall.

6. Know your guests
and seat them
properly. You want
to give everyone the
best seat for them.
5. Prepare early

think about which and
you can do beforehabits
If the answer’s noth nd.
you might want to ching,

get a chance to
talk to everyone.

gaps between courses and ssive
emerge from the kitchen then
flustered,
covered in food and having
missed half the conversat
ion.
8. Get dressed and
party ready ;)
and have fun!
Tips for being
the perfect guest
When you receive an invitation,
it’s basic courtesy to let your host
know whether you’ll be attending
and/or bringing someone
(and if they are kids). Even if the
invitation didn’t indicate an RSVP
date, you should still respond.
If you did not RSVP
for a guest, it’s bad
manners to show up
with one in tow.
Being too
early can be an
inconvenience
for your hosts
who could still
be trying to
get ready.
Being
late is not
fashionable.
If you are
going to
arrive late,
you should
call ahead.
Arriving about
10 minutes
before the party
start time is
acceptable.
Do your best to
join in the party
and be engaged in
conversations and
activities. Get to know
the other guests and
have fun. If the host
has planned some
games, take part.
Drink
responsibly
and never
leave a
mess.
Don’t outstay your welcome.
If the invitation states a time for
the party to finish, you should offer
to help with the cleanup and if the
host declines, thank them
and say goodnight.
10. Play background
music for a nice
atmosphere.
You may like to
bring along a gift
but should never
expect the guest
to open the gift or
if it’s food/wine,
don’t expect it to
be used on the
same night.
Know when
to help, when
to stay out of
the way and
when to step
in to give the
host a break.
