Plain storage bins are practical - but they hardly spark joy. With the right decals, your IKEA TROFAST system becomes colourful, child-friendly, and even educational. In this guide you’ll learn how to choose the best decals, apply them like a pro, and get creative with themes that make tidying happen without a battle.
What Are IKEA TROFAST Decals?
TROFAST decals are removable stickers designed to fit the front panels of IKEA TROFAST storage bins perfectly. They add personality and purpose to simple plastic boxes, helping children recognise where toys, books, and craft supplies belong - all without permanent changes.
Decals come in a range of materials - from wipe-clean vinyl to soft-textured fabric - and in themes from animals and rainbows to transport and personalised name designs.
Why Use Decals on TROFAST Storage?
Here’s why so many parents love decal-transformations:
-
✨ Instant style upgrade — plain bins become part of the room decor
-
📚 Visual cues help little ones tidy independently
-
🎨 Themes encourage imaginative play and learning
-
🔄 Easy to change as tastes evolve (no sticky residue, no damage)
How to Choose the Right Decal
Before you order:
-
Measure your TROFAST bins - most shallow bins have a ~20×30 cm front panel, while deeper bins need different sizing. view our size guide for a visual
- Choose a theme that matches the room and your child’s interests. Transport and animals are perennial favourites!
Applying Decals Like a Pro
Proper prep makes all the difference:
-
Wipe your bin surfaces clean with a mild soapy cloth and dry fully.
-
Mark the centre of the panel lightly with removable tape to help alignment.
-
Peel back a corner of the decal and smooth outward to avoid air bubbles.
-
A hairdryer on low heat can help large decals lay flat seamlessly.
Decals designed for TROFAST should take just a few minutes per bin to apply. View our "HOW TO GUIDE"
Removing & Replacing Without Fuss
One of the biggest perks is easy removal: peel slowly from a corner and the decal will lift cleanly if it’s a quality removable vinyl. Store removed stickers flat between sheets of baking paper and reuse later!
Creative Ideas + Playroom Inspiration
Decals can be more than decoration:
-
📍 Make learning zones - e.g., letters for literacy or numbers for early counting
-
🚙 Use transport themes for vehicles and gears storage
-
🌈 Rotate seasonal designs to keep the playroom feeling fresh
Parents often turn tidying into a game with matching decals or thematic stories — think “find the red car bin!” - which makes kids want to organise. View our 15 hacks for IKEA Trofast storage
