70 IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CHILDR<strong>EN</strong><br />

The entire <strong>Hoppekids</strong> universe is about the children: From<br />

design and production of furniture to helping those who<br />

make a big different for the lives of many children.


Every time we sell a bed, we<br />

ensure healthier children’s<br />

rooms, more forest in the<br />

world and help more children<br />

to a better life.


ROOMS WITH HEART AND SOUL<br />

There are children’s rooms, and then there are children’s<br />

rooms with heart and soul.<br />

To us, a great children’s room is more than a room full<br />

of furniture. This ‘magalogue’ – a fusion of a magazine<br />

and a catalogue – is our way of giving you more than just<br />

furniture.<br />

We would like to inspire you to look at the children’s room<br />

as we do: As a universe of imagination and possibilities<br />

which in every way is designed to protect the most important<br />

thing of all: Our children.<br />

As a father of three wonderful kids, I only want the best<br />

for my children and I know how different children can be.<br />

The children’s room is more than just a bedroom, it is a<br />

playroom and a living room as well. Children spend more<br />

time there than in any other room in the house, which is<br />

why it naturally has to be healthy and safe. As the only<br />

producer in the world, our modular beds carry the Nordic<br />

Ecolabel. We have chosen the Nordic Ecolabel because it<br />

coincides with our own values of contributing to a more<br />

sustainable and healthy world; a world where children can<br />

grow up safely and securely.<br />

Other than plenty of sustainable quality furniture, the<br />

magalogue contains guides on how you can get a healthier<br />

children’s room, how to choose the right bed, how to<br />

furnish different types of children’s rooms and a lot, lot<br />

more. It is our hope that you will find the magalogue both<br />

intriguing and inspiring.<br />

Happy reading and welcome to the world of <strong>Hoppekids</strong> –<br />

a world with heart and soul.<br />

WHO IS HOPPEKIDS?<br />

To us, a children’s room is so much more than merely a<br />

room with furniture in it.<br />

It’s the safe base from which your child explores the<br />

world, learns about big and small things and where the<br />

imagination can run wild. It’s also the place where your<br />

child can find peace and safety and where good sleep<br />

plays a big part.<br />

<strong>Hoppekids</strong>’ mission is to create the safest and most<br />

sustainable children’s furniture, which promotes good<br />

sleep, play and creative learning.<br />

Just like a children’s room isn’t just a room with furniture<br />

in it, children’s furniture isn’t just things which fulfill a<br />

practical role. Children’s furniture sometimes has to be a<br />

spaceship, a magic cave, a work space or a cozy reading<br />

nook. They have to embrace play time – alone and with<br />

friends, learning and sleeping.<br />

And last – but not least: They have to be so safe and<br />

sustainable that they can follow your child through the<br />

adventures of their childhood and be passed on to a<br />

younger sibling.<br />

Our own factory and sewing room<br />

We have our own factory, which makes it easy to manage<br />

our products and the materials we use. Our wood, for<br />

instance, is carefully chosen based on a number of criteria<br />

in regards to quality, irregularities and – of course – that it<br />

is sourced from a sustainable forestry.<br />

To minimize our waste, we use a computer to calculate how<br />

we cut the wood in the best possible way. We therefore have<br />

a surprisingly low amount of waste. Any waste is being used<br />

to produce energy for our production.<br />

We have our own sewing room where our skilled<br />

seamstresses create the textiles for our universes. The<br />

applications on curtains and other textiles are handmade.<br />

We do this because we believe it gives you the best possible<br />

quality. As a bonus, it’s also more fun to touch for a curious<br />

child who is developing their senses.<br />

All of our furniture is transported in flat packs. You have<br />

to build them yourself but we believe that it is worth it. By<br />

packing our products like this, we ensure that we can deliver<br />

furniture without damage and impact the environment as<br />

little as possible as we avoid transporting unneccesary air.<br />

What does the Nordic Ecolabel mean for<br />

<strong>Hoppekids</strong>’ production – and for you?<br />

For furniture – and for many other industries – the<br />

production is what makes the biggest impact on the<br />

environment. That is why we are striving to create<br />

furniture which has as long a life span as possible.<br />

Furniture carrying the Nordic Ecolabel has to live up to<br />

strict standards regarding their impact on environment<br />

and health, as well as their security and quality.<br />

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CHILDR<strong>EN</strong><br />

<strong>Hoppekids</strong>’ dream is to create a better future for<br />

the children. That’s the essence of everything we<br />

do. It is the heart and soul of our every day.<br />

We fight for a better future by:<br />

• Create the safest and most sustainable<br />

children’s furniture which promote the good<br />

sleep, playing and creative learning.<br />

• Constantly improve ourselves in regards to<br />

the standards for environment, health and<br />

quality that the 5 Nordic countries have made<br />

for the Nordic Ecolabel. (read more on page 20)<br />

• Involve ourselves in good initiatives which<br />

create a lasting changing for the children and<br />

those who fight for them (read more on page 70)<br />

Our beds should be able to be passed on from a bigger<br />

sibling to a smaller. The bed should also always fit the<br />

child and the room in which it stands. That’s why our<br />

furniture is flexible and can be changed to always match<br />

your needs. It’s super easy - you can just add a module<br />

underneath your junior bed to make a brand-new high<br />

sleeper!<br />

We are working closely with the Nordic Ecolabel and<br />

it has been a pleasure going through our product’s life<br />

cycle – from before the wood is harvested and right until<br />

the bed has to be recycled. The result is a production<br />

which makes the least impact on the environment and<br />

exclusively use wood from sustainable sources.<br />

It also means that our products have the least affect<br />

possible in your child’s room. This is ensured by<br />

exclusively using water-based lacquer.<br />

We usually say that it’s perfectly safe to “taste” our<br />

furniture because there are no harmful substances<br />

in them...but, honestly: They’re not nearly as tasty as<br />

chocolate!<br />

THEME: THE BABY HOME<br />

The IDA-MARIE Playpen with round bars. The base can be set to<br />

three different heights. Outer measurements: W91xH71xD85 cm<br />

THE PLAYP<strong>EN</strong> - AN OASIS OF PEACE<br />

The playpen is neither a cage nor a prison for your child.<br />

From your child’s point of view, it is rather a bubble that<br />

protects your child from everyone else. The playpen is a<br />

safe haven for your child where disruptions, curious pets<br />

and siblings are kept out. It is also a safe and secure spot<br />

for your child if you need to do something that require<br />

you to turn your back to the child for a bit.<br />

A pen for learning and playing<br />

The bars of the playpen are the ideal support for when<br />

your child is starting to stand and walk – both from the<br />

inside and outside of the playpen. By using a nonslip<br />

underlay, e.g. a playpen mattress, which also serves as<br />

isolation you will create a soft, comfortable and safe<br />

surface for your child.<br />

While your child is still very small, you can tie a cord<br />

across the playpen and attach toys to it. This is a<br />

useful tool to stimulate and train your child’s eye-hand<br />

coordination, because the child will begin to reach for the<br />

toys when they are 2-3-months old. For safety reasons<br />

you should remove the cord as soon as your child starts<br />

to attempt to stand up.<br />

Use the playpen as a supplement<br />

It is important to use the playpen with care because your<br />

child will train useful skills, such as crawling and rolling,<br />

when placed on the floor. As soon as your child begins<br />

to move about on his or her own, you should only use<br />

the playpen for shorter stays and for the child’s own<br />

safety e.g. when you have to leave the room.<br />

If you are worried a playpen will take up too much space<br />

in your home, you can consider buying one with a smaller<br />

size. The playpen from <strong>Hoppekids</strong> only measures 91x85<br />

cm and has a mattress size of 80x86 cm. The base is<br />

adjustable to three different heights. Use these settings<br />

to avoid hurting your back when you are lifting your<br />

child as well as protect your child from draft.<br />

MEET ANTON<br />

ANTON is a robust and classic crib with a mattress size of 60x120 cm and a<br />

base that can be set to two positions. ANTON carries the Nordic Ecolabel.<br />

This means that there are strict standards regarding environment, health,<br />

quality and safety which ensures safe surroundings for your child. The design<br />

on ANTON enables you to rebuild the crib into a bench and thereby increase<br />

ANTON’s useful life remarkably. Should a baby sister or brother arrive? Then<br />

you can easily transform ANTON back to a crib!<br />

The Crib| CHRISTIAN dresser<br />

THE CRADLE – MORE THAN A BED<br />

The cradle is your baby’s first real sleeping place<br />

after being carried around in a belly for nine months.<br />

Therefore, it is essential that the sleeping place is a<br />

safe and secure place where your baby can adjust to<br />

being outside in the real world.<br />

Why choose the cradle?<br />

There are plenty of advantages in choosing a cradle<br />

instead of a cot or letting the baby sleep in the bed<br />

with you.<br />

After nine months, your baby has gotten used to<br />

being rocked around in the tummy. The cradle<br />

recreates the rocking movement. This makes it feel<br />

safe, natural and relaxing for your baby – just as<br />

it feels natural for you to comfort by rocking and<br />

carrying him or her in your arms.<br />

At the same time, the rocking motion stimulates<br />

your baby’s balance which is the grounds for their<br />

future motor skill development. The cradle therefore<br />

comes as a developing and more natural extension<br />

of the time in the belly than, for instance, the cot.<br />

Baby wants to be put in the corner<br />

Newborn babies should not have too much space<br />

around them because they are just getting used to<br />

being out in the big world instead of in mom’s safe,<br />

but confined belly.<br />

The cradle is good because you rarely have to adjust<br />

the sleeping area with, for instance, a bed crib bunker<br />

or similer. At the same time, the slightly smaller size<br />

is practical when you have to find space for it in your<br />

bedroom.<br />

For your baby’s own safety it is recommended that<br />

the baby sleep in the same room as you for the first<br />

three months.<br />

THEME: THE BABY HOME<br />

More sleep for you<br />

The time with a newborn is always tough both because<br />

you will not get as much sleep as usual but also because<br />

a new, little person, who has to be watched and cared<br />

for, has arrived.<br />

Some parents choose to let the baby sleep in their bed<br />

- which can be a solution as well - as long as you do not<br />

place the baby between you.<br />

Lying in between you creates a greater risk of injury<br />

and authorities advise against it. Your baby will need as<br />

much space in your bed as in their own and it can be<br />

a challenge to fit three people in a bed meant for two<br />

without losing sleep.<br />

The cradle makes sure the baby has their own space<br />

while still being right next to you. And when the cradle is<br />

right there, it is still very easy to comfort and breastfeed<br />

without really having to get out of bed.<br />

Life of a cradle after the first six months<br />

It is no secret that you have to buy a lot of stuff for<br />

the new arrival. That is also why it might seem over the<br />

top to buy a cradle which will only be used as a sleeping<br />

space for about six months before it gets too small.<br />

<strong>Hoppekids</strong> want all of our furniture to be used – and<br />

reused – for a long time because it is far better for the<br />

environment if only few pieces of furniture have to be<br />

produced.<br />

That is why the cradle is made from solid wood which<br />

makes it sturdy and very durable. It can also be reshaped<br />

into a great little bench that your child can use for many<br />

years.<br />

If a little brother or sister arrives, it can easily be made<br />

into a cradle again, and because it is so durable, it will<br />

last for generations.<br />

The cradle has been designed so you can<br />

easily re-build it into a smart bench.<br />

THEME: THE BABY HOME<br />

CHRISTIAN will have a long life because the top is easy to remove<br />

as soon as you don’t need a changing station anymore.<br />

THE CHANGING STATION<br />

More than 5000! That is the amount of diapers, you<br />

can expect to change during your child’s first 3 years.<br />

Most changes will hopefully happen on a well-equipped<br />

changing station. We will give you some pointers on how<br />

to pick the best solution for you and your child.<br />

You have to consider a great many things when creating a<br />

changing station.<br />

Where should it be located and how much surplus space<br />

does that room have? Is it necessary to move the changing<br />

station out of the bathroom - and then how do you get<br />

access to water?<br />

Placement<br />

When choosing a changing station, you have to remember<br />

that it is a work station. A lot of people tend to focus<br />

mainly on the decorations and coziness of the situation,<br />

while forgetting the practical details.<br />

The optimal placement of the changing station is next to<br />

a tap with running water. For that the bathroom is the<br />

obvious choice, but some choose the kitchen or the utility<br />

room if space is an issue.<br />

Some place the changing station in the bedroom because it<br />

has space or because they want to keep all the baby items<br />

in one place. When you don’t have access to running water,<br />

you can use a small wash bowl. Some bowls are divided into<br />

several spaces so you have water for both the ’head and the<br />

tail’. During the day – and especially during the night – you<br />

should keep lukewarm water in a thermos for easy access.<br />

No matter where you place your changing station, it is<br />

important to keep necessities nearby. These include diapers,<br />

wash cloths, water, clean clothes, lotions, nail clippers and<br />

cotton swaps among others. They should be easy to reach<br />

so you don’t have to leave the station during a change. If<br />

you need to turn away from the station, it is recommended<br />

to place your child on the floor or place a hand on the babys<br />

belly so you know the baby is lying safely on the changing<br />

station. Also keep in mind that the station should have the<br />

correct height so you don’t strain your back when using it.<br />

Size of the furniture<br />

Only few people have unlimited space in the children’s room<br />

or bathroom. Luckily there are a number of solutions to this.<br />

If you have the station in a small bathroom, consider using<br />

10


THEME: THE BABY HOME<br />

a wall hanging changing station that can fold up when not<br />

in use. You can also choose a standing changing station that<br />

won’t take up too much space but still contains everything<br />

you need.<br />

If you have plenty of space, for instance in the child’s room,<br />

you can choose a dresser with a dressing top. The dressing<br />

top transforms the dresser into a practical changing station<br />

and when your child no longer need diapers, you can remove<br />

the dressing top. After that, the dresser can be used to store<br />

all sorts of things in the years to come.<br />

Changing time is bonding time<br />

Even though it rarely is downright lovely to handle a used<br />

diaper, the time you spend changing your child is a perfect<br />

opportunity to bond. It gives you the opporunity to talk to<br />

your child and share a lot of important eye and physical<br />

contact. This makes your child grow accustomed to you<br />

and to the process of changing diapers.<br />

CHECKLIST FOR THE CHANGING STATION<br />

• Tub or bowl for water, with one or two spaces<br />

• Diapers<br />

• Soft towels or fabric diapers<br />

• Wash cloths (soft disposable or cotton cloths)<br />

• Clean clothes<br />

• An extra pacifier<br />

• Lotions, soap and the like<br />

• Comb<br />

• Manicure set and cotton swabs<br />

• Optional: a thermos with lukewarm water<br />

• Optional: a bin for used diapers<br />

When your child grows – and grows restless – you might<br />

want to consider having a toy nearby for entertainment.<br />

However, the changing station should be kept fairly neat so<br />

neither you nor your child’s attention on this quality time<br />

goes out the window.<br />

The IDA-MARIE changing unit<br />

IDA-MARIE changing unit is a cute<br />

shelving unit with two shelves. On<br />

the sides of the unit, you can attach<br />

our fabric with practical pockets.<br />

remainging stable.<br />

ISABELLA changing dresser<br />

ISABELLA gives you flexible and<br />

modern storage solutions with one shelf<br />

and two drawers. The height between the<br />

shelf and drawers is ideal for e.g. boxes.<br />

When you no longer use the dresser as a<br />

changing station, you can easily remove<br />

the dressing top.<br />

The timeless, smart CHRISTIAN<br />

A SAFER BASE<br />

- a guide to a healthier children’s room<br />

Children use far more time in their rooms than adults do in any other room of the house. This is why it is even more<br />

important to make sure that it is not unhealthy for them to play and sleep in their rooms. Some things you will have to<br />

consider before you furnish. Other things need to be considered when choosing or buying items and toys. And then<br />

there are things you will need to do every day. There can be consequences by not doing anything, but luckily doing<br />

small things make a big difference as long as you know where to make an effort. In this guide, we focus on some of<br />

the things you should remember when you shop for, furnish, decorate and maintain a healthy children’s room.<br />

Sources: The Ecological Council and other<br />

BEFORE ANYONE MOVES IN - PREPERATION WILL GET YOU FAR<br />

Paint<br />

When choosing paint, you should buy water-based paint,<br />

preferably with ecolabels such as the Nordic Ecolabel or<br />

the EU Ecolabel. These are better for the indoor climate<br />

and for nature than other types of paints. You also need<br />

to ventilate the room for at least a week before anyone<br />

moves in because the paint gives off more substances to<br />

the air while hardening.<br />

Decorating and furnishing<br />

Again, look for the Nordic or EU Ecolabels because<br />

they ensure that you buy furniture with a minimum<br />

of harmful chemicals, but also because you get more<br />

secure and durable furniture. Consider whether you<br />

need carpets and curtains because they generally give off<br />

more dust. Alternatively use blinds or look for allergy<br />

friendly carpets.<br />

16


A SAFER BASE<br />

Safety<br />

Remember to always consider safety when furnishing,<br />

and generally only buy EU-safety approved furniture.<br />

Also, furniture that can fall over should be fastened to<br />

the walls with fittings. Shelf brackets should be of the<br />

sturdy kind that can handle both the weight of boxes full<br />

of toys as well as detouring child mountaineers.<br />

FILLING THE BOXES AND DRAWERS – STORAGE AND DECORATION<br />

Dust in the room<br />

As you know, textiles give off dust. The more blankets,<br />

curtains, clothing and bedding you have laying around,<br />

the more dust you will have. Toys and items also easily<br />

collect dust.<br />

You should therefore consider reducing the number of<br />

items you have lying about e.g. by using closed storage<br />

for everything that can collect or give off dust. That way<br />

you have made cleaning easier as well.<br />

You can also choose to use textiles labelled Oeko-Tex®<br />

which is the most widespread health label concerning<br />

textiles in the world.<br />

Toys<br />

You should be concerned and aware whether your<br />

child’s toys contain phthalates. Long term exposure to<br />

phthalates is known for hormone disruption. This can<br />

also happen through toys containing PVC which among<br />

others is typically found in soft plastic products.<br />

Hormone disruption can lead to fertility problems,<br />

obesity, diabetes 2, behavioral problems and an increased<br />

risk of hormone related forms of cancer among others.<br />

Also try to avoid especially phosphor based and<br />

brominated flame retardants that can typically be found<br />

in foam products and electronics. These substances can<br />

have the same hormone disrupting effects.<br />

Decorative plants<br />

Plants are generally great at purifying both CO2 and<br />

particles from the air. Dirt, children and small grabby<br />

hands is not a great combo though.<br />

Therefore, choose plants that can hang or stand outside<br />

of your child’s reach. Ferns and Aloe Vera are particularly<br />

good but air plants are great as well, because they need<br />

minimal care - less work for you.<br />

A SAFER BASE<br />

EVERYDAY LIFE - THE SMALL THINGS MAKE A DIFFER<strong>EN</strong>CE<br />

Something in the air…<br />

When you breathe, you exhale CO2. A high concentration<br />

of CO2 in a room during the night can result in an<br />

unrestful sleep, low power of concentration the next day<br />

and trouble learning. Luckily, it can be helped by three<br />

daily ventilations of the room - the most important time<br />

being right before going to sleep.<br />

Damp surroundings<br />

The above-mentioned ventilation is an easy way to rid<br />

yourselves of a damp indoor climate as well. Too much<br />

moisture in the air can result in mold which is why you<br />

should keep the doors closed to damp rooms such as the<br />

bathroom and basement.<br />

The effects on the indoor climate do not only come from<br />

the room itself. Cooking and smoke from candles give<br />

off particles that are considered as potentially harmful<br />

as the particles from car exhaust. Use a powerful cooker<br />

hood during cooking and replace candles with LEDalternatives.<br />

A ventilation system helps but cannot<br />

replace manual ventilation completely.<br />

The good ol’ solution<br />

Thorough cleaning definitely helps as well. Dusting and<br />

vacuuming helps to get rid of particles and chemicals<br />

that bind themselves to dust. You should also be mindful<br />

of which cleaning agents you use in the house. Products<br />

with the Nordic Ecolabel or the EU Ecolabel are<br />

generally better for everyone’s health.<br />

THE NORDIC ECOLABEL<br />

The Nordic Ecolabel is a label which makes it easy for<br />

you to choose the best products for the environment. The<br />

label makes sure that the product meets strict standards<br />

regarding environment, health, quality and safety.<br />

The Nordic Ecolabel is a widely known label in the Nordic<br />

countries and is similar to the EU Ecolabel. It is used on<br />

non-food products such as washing powder, lotions, toilet<br />

paper and furniture. But what does it mean to have the<br />

Nordic Ecolabel on your products and how does it impact<br />

you and your children’s everyday life?<br />

The Nordic Ecolabel equals strict standards<br />

The Nordic Ecolabel guarantees that the entirety of the<br />

product’s journey – from raw material to production,<br />

use, disposal and recirculation – is factored in when the<br />

standards of the labelled products are set. Among others<br />

the products live up to strict chemical standards which is<br />

great for you and your children’s health as well as for the<br />

people producing the products and for the environment.<br />

The standards are constantly updated and tightened, so<br />

you are always sure that the Nordic Ecolabeled products<br />

are environmentally sustainable, and a great choice for<br />

environment and health.<br />

For instance, the wood used in Nordic Ecolabeled furniture<br />

has to come from evidently legally cut down trees, and<br />

the origin of the wood has to be traceable. A great share<br />

of the wood also has to come from certified sustainable<br />

forestry. The furniture also cannot contain chemicals such<br />

as phthalates, heavy metals, flame retardants or fluorinated<br />

substances which can function as endocrine disruptors.<br />

Furthermore, the glue and paint used cannot contain<br />

anything cancer-causing, and there are strict standards<br />

regarding the evaporation of surface treatment products<br />

as well.<br />

The Nordic Ecolabel also has strict standards regarding<br />

furniture durability because the environmental impact<br />

20


mainly happens during production. The longer the furniture<br />

lasts, the fewer pieces of furniture will need to be produced.<br />

That is why the Nordic Ecolabel is seen as a strong seal<br />

of approval concerning quality, durability and recyclability.<br />

What does it mean for you and your children?<br />

To have the Nordic Ecolabel on your furniture means that<br />

you help sustain the forests of the world. It means that you<br />

take responsibility and consider which chemicals you want<br />

to keep out of your home - and out of nature. It means you<br />

want to save the few resources we have left.<br />

It means that you can feel safe that the furniture has been<br />

responsibly produced with the future of your children and<br />

the environment in mind.<br />

The Nordic Ecolabel also means that you do not have to<br />

worry about your children’s health when they move around<br />

on, near and in the furniture. Since they will not give off<br />

any harmful substances it is quite alright to have a little<br />

taste. But we must warn you: The taste is rather bland.<br />

Especially children’s furniture has to be able to take a beating<br />

and by choosing furniture with the Nordic Ecolabel, you<br />

are certain to get very tough and durable furniture which<br />

can withstand the treatment only children can provide.<br />

In other words, the Nordic Ecolabel guarantees you longlasting<br />

quality and attention to the environment, to you, to<br />

your children and to the future.<br />

This article was written in collaboration with Ecolabeling Denmark.<br />

”Pieces of furniture marked with<br />

the Nordic Ecolabel live up to strict<br />

standards regarding environment,<br />

health and quality. The furniture<br />

has been strength, safety and<br />

stability tested by international test<br />

standards. This means that you get<br />

a piece of long-lasting furniture<br />

which is safe for your child to sleep<br />

and play in. It also means that your<br />

child will not come in contact with<br />

undesirable chemicals through<br />

breathing or close contact with the<br />

piece of furniture”<br />

horses, but better. You can almost taste the fairy<br />

dust in the air, and with a little imagination, the<br />

rainbows will appear without any rain when you<br />

bedroom. Add a dab of rose water and a sprinkle<br />

of fairy dust and you have an atmosphere you<br />

would otherwise only find in fairytales.<br />

IDA- MARIE House bed 70x160 cm | Drawers .<br />

THE HOUSE BED<br />

The Housebed is both very simple in the design – and<br />

gives a strong, graphic expression in the room.It can be<br />

decorated in endless ways: It can be either the nicest cave<br />

or a small piece of art.<br />

With decorations on the bed or on the wall behind, you<br />

can create a “room in the room”, so the bed will be like a<br />

peaceful oasis in the middle of the children’s room.<br />

TIP!<br />

Decorate the bed with lots of pillows, cozy<br />

plaids and fairy lights to add even more<br />

atmosphere to the room<br />

The bed comes in two sizes – 90x200 cm and 70x160 cm<br />

and in two colors – white and gray. Under the bed there is<br />

a great opportunity of storage for bedding or toys. For the<br />

90x200 cm bed, a pull-out bed can also be added to make<br />

room for overnight guests.<br />

The Housebed is Nordic Ecolabelled and safety testes. The<br />

beds are made of solid, FSC® (FSC-C109484)-certified<br />

wood and are surface-treated with water based lacquer.<br />

GOOD THINGS IN SMALL PACKAGES<br />

- a guide for the small children’s room<br />

A small children’s room can easily be a big challenge which<br />

takes planning to solve. But if you use the right solutions, it is<br />

far from impossible. We have gathered a bunch of thoughts,<br />

you can consider if you have ahead of you the challenge of<br />

decorating and furnishing a great children’s room on a limited<br />

amount of square meters.<br />

“Does he play with trains and a race track? Then<br />

I would never invest in wall closets and boxes for<br />

small things. Then I would choose big, fat floor<br />

boxes with wheels that can be moved and contain<br />

all the huge parts for the race and train tracks”<br />

- Sine Grenaa, mother of 2, interior designer<br />

Your child does not come in a standard size<br />

No matter the size, the children’s room should be furnished<br />

so it fits your child. A desk is no good if your child would<br />

rather play on the tablet or run around the house dressed as a<br />

princess. Nobody knows your child like you, and your child of<br />

course, and you both know which toy is the favorite and how<br />

the time is best spent.<br />

Especially in small children’s rooms, you can’t just use<br />

whichever piece of furniture you want if there is even a<br />

chance it won’t be used. You have to be economical about the<br />

space and settle for only the things that bring joy to your child.<br />

30


The overlooked space<br />

In especially small rooms, it is easier to find additional space<br />

in the topmost part of the room than in the lower one. You<br />

should include this space in the furnishing to use the entirety<br />

of the room which is important when space is an issue.<br />

Shelves and hanging bookcases are ideal for storage in height<br />

and the top of a tall closet can be used for storing things you<br />

don’t use that often.<br />

“The key to creating room and space is<br />

getting floor space. So get everything up, up<br />

on the walls. Get some shelves on those walls<br />

and get the mess off the floor”<br />

– Annemette Voss, mother of 3, architect<br />

Top 5 advice for decorating a small room<br />

1. Use multifunctional pieces of furniture. They<br />

save a lot of space because you get more<br />

functions out of them.<br />

2. Spend time finding the right storage solutions.<br />

Mess in a small room can make it seem even<br />

smaller.<br />

3. Use the height of the room for storage or tall<br />

beds to create more floor space to play on.<br />

4. Paint the walls of the room in bright colors<br />

that can open up a small room.<br />

5. Furnish and decorate the room so it fits<br />

YOUR child and get rid of everything your<br />

child won’t use.<br />

At the same time, halfhigh, midhigh and high beds are great<br />

solutions for using the overlooked space. They stand tall and<br />

create room beneath themselves which can easily be made<br />

into hideouts, storage space, floor space or where you can put<br />

a desk if your child needs that.<br />

Quality over quantity<br />

If you furnish with multifunctional furniture, you get more<br />

functions in less space. There is a number of ways to do it<br />

which can be either built-in function or a ’normal’ piece of<br />

furniture made into a multifunctional piece of furniture. For<br />

instance it can be a bed which is also a sofa and a playground,<br />

or a bed which also has storage space.<br />

If you decide to build something yourselves, it can save space<br />

and create more functions in less space as well. It can be<br />

a staircase to the bed made from book cases, a bed placed<br />

on top of two dressers or something else entirely. Let your<br />

imagination run wild!<br />

However we will strongly encourage you to consider the safety<br />

of your child when both building furniture and in general.<br />

COZINESS IN THE HEIGHTS<br />

- about the halfhigh and midhigh beds<br />

When children see a half or midhigh bed, they do<br />

not just see a piece of furniture. Instead, they see a<br />

hideout, a space ship, a fairytale world or a playground.<br />

They get a great feeling of independence by having<br />

to climb to bed and can use the bed – or the space<br />

beneath it – as a personal space when they need a<br />

break.<br />

cause problems for their child and for the practical<br />

activities in everyday life. They have concerns whether<br />

their child might fall out of the bed or if it might get<br />

difficult to change the bedding.<br />

Many parents – especially the ones who are ”vertically<br />

challenged” – solve the problem by having a small<br />

step ladder or stool for practical purposes.<br />

The half and midhigh beds are great for small<br />

bedrooms where extra space is often needed and can<br />

more easily be found in the topmost part of the room.<br />

A bed raised off the floor gives more floor space and<br />

the space beneath the bed can be fitted with one of<br />

our many universe curtains which transform it into a<br />

fantastical hideout. Here, your child can relax or be<br />

read to in magical surroundings.<br />

Does the height of the bed concern you?<br />

Some parents wonder whether the height might<br />

But is your child really safe in that tall bed? The guard<br />

rails of <strong>Hoppekids</strong> beds are very durable because they<br />

are attached firmly to the beds. This means that the<br />

rail will guard even an unruly sleeper and it supports<br />

your child when he or she climbs in and out of the<br />

bed.<br />

A half or midhigh bed gives you the best of both<br />

worlds because the height allows for playtime or a<br />

hideout under the bed but the bed is still low enough<br />

for you, the parents, to reach into.<br />

34


When children have to climb to bed it can give them a<br />

sense of independence and help develop their motor skills.<br />

|PETER bookshelf |Bookshelf on wheels<br />

The child grows… and the bed does too!<br />

Do you think the bed might be too tall for your child at<br />

the moment? Then you can just save the half or midhighmodule<br />

for when your child is ready for it. Both the half<br />

and the midhigh beds come in divisible versions which<br />

means that you can change the height of the beds to<br />

correspond to your child’s – and your – changing needs.<br />

If your child gets bored with the half or midhigh bed,<br />

you can just remove the module again.<br />

Somewhere between high and low<br />

The differences between the midhigh and the halfhigh beds<br />

are that the midhigh is a little bit taller than the halfhigh.<br />

Other than that, the midhigh only comes in a 90x200<br />

cm-version.<br />

The extra height actually makes a big difference. Especially<br />

for older children, the few extra centimeters might be the<br />

difference between whether the space beneath the bed is a<br />

hideout or an extra room in the room. By using the midhigh<br />

module, you get space for furniture like a desk or a children’s<br />

set of chairs and a table. This gives you better options for<br />

furnishing and for using your imagination beneath the bed.<br />

Create a cozy cave-like atmosphere under the<br />

mid- or halfhigh bed by hanging a curtain in<br />

front of it. Decorate with fairy lights, a mattress,<br />

pillows and pictures. Perfect for goodnight<br />

stories and other cozy cave activities.<br />

there are available when it comes to children’s beds. Or perhaps<br />

GUIDE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT BED<br />

SIZE DOES MATTER<br />

A great place to start is to decide what mattress size you<br />

would like in your new bed. The two most common sizes<br />

are 70x160 cm and 90x200 cm.<br />

Size 70x160 cm is a great little size. The change from a<br />

crib to a junior bed can be somewhat insecure for some<br />

children, because they are not used to having so much<br />

space in the bed. It is also an excellent size for smaller<br />

rooms because it does not take up much floor space. The<br />

bed is large enough for an average sized 8-year-old. By<br />

then it is time to decorate the room for a pre-teen anyway.<br />

Here you can see how a BASIC halfhigh bed looks in size 90x200<br />

(above) and 70x160 (below). Both beds are 105 cm tall.<br />

Size 90x200 cm is great because your child will have lots<br />

of room to grow while also allowing you to lie down<br />

comfortably next to your child. If you are considering<br />

changing the bed to a high bed or bunk bed in the future,<br />

90x200 cm is the size for you as it will leave you with the<br />

best options for rebuilding.<br />

All beds from <strong>Hoppekids</strong> have been tested to support up<br />

to 100 kg of weight.<br />

WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND?<br />

This questions might be difficult to answer because who<br />

can tell the future? We cannot, but our experience tells<br />

us that if you are thinking about rebuilding the bed to<br />

e.g. a halfhigh, bunk bed, high bed or other models it<br />

will be worth your while to choose a series or model that<br />

support this from the beginning.<br />

The modular bed system enables you to rebuild the bed – you can<br />

always change your mind!<br />

Modular bed systems are cleverly designed for the<br />

modules to be exchanged or removed without you<br />

having to exchange the entire bed. Not only is it easy<br />

for you to change your mind, but it is also sustainable<br />

because most of the resources are spend producing the<br />

‘sleeping area’ on a bed rather than e.g. the high legs.<br />

<strong>Hoppekids</strong>’s BASIC collection offers a good selection<br />

of standard possibilities while the PREMIUM collection<br />

offers an almost infinite number of beds, extensions and<br />

accessories.<br />

GUIDE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT BED<br />

WHAT TYPE IS YOUR CHILD?<br />

It can be a difficult task to choose a bed. To help you, we have described different types of children and our<br />

suggestion for their perfect bed.<br />

PREMIUM Junior bed 90x200 cm with drawers .<br />

|Pillows from the universe Dinosaur |JONAS desk and set of drawers.<br />

For the grounded<br />

If your child feels most comfortable near the ground<br />

the perfect choice would be a junior bed. There might<br />

not be a lot of room under the bed but you can fit either<br />

some spacious drawers or a pull-out bed. Besides, you<br />

can always purchase a heightening module for the bed if<br />

your child suddenly feels like climbing.<br />

For the cave dweller<br />

Is the dream scenario to play hide-and-seek, build pillow<br />

forts and snuggle up? Then we suggest a halfhigh,<br />

midhigh or bunk bed. If you add a curtain and place<br />

a mattress on the floor below the bed you will always<br />

know where Junior is: in the bed-cave, possibly planning<br />

to steal cookies or reading fairytales for the teddies.<br />

For those who share and have guests<br />

For shared rooms and for children who often have<br />

overnight guests the optimal choice would be a solution<br />

with two or more sleeping places in the same space as<br />

one. For instance, a bunk bed with a pull-out bed gives<br />

you three sleeping places without taking up extra room.<br />

A high bed with furniture below create a small ‘living<br />

room’ by day and with our lounge-module you can<br />

transform the ‘sofa’ to a guest bed. You can find our<br />

guide on decorating a shared room on page 68.<br />

42


GUIDE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT BED<br />

For those with a high ceiling<br />

If you are lucky to have a high ceiling, and are comfortable<br />

with your child crawling into bed, we suggest looking<br />

into our higher beds because they add valuable floor<br />

space to the room.<br />

The space under the bed can instead be used for storage,<br />

work space, a cozy cave or ’just’ extra floor space for the<br />

race cars and princess castles.<br />

Another clever way to free up floor space is to invest in<br />

storage with a good height or solid shelves.<br />

For those without much room<br />

It requires a super parent to decorate a small bedroom<br />

.In a small room you have to be extra careful in your<br />

choice in furniture - and especially beds – because they<br />

quickly take up most of the space.<br />

We recommend a bed with a small mattress size which<br />

takes up less floor space or that you choose a higher<br />

bed which will give you extra space under the bed. For<br />

an added effect you can choose a bed with both a small<br />

mattress size AND height!<br />

GUIDE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT BED<br />

SO UHM...DOES IT HAVE ANY ACCESSORIES?<br />

You probably won’t find a bed with built-in air condition<br />

or ice-cream maker, but our extensive list of accessories<br />

will help you modify the bed to fit your needs.<br />

Both of our collections - BASIC and PREMIUM - has<br />

a large number of security rails – both removable and<br />

fastened. We offer slides for halfhigh beds as well as<br />

storage solutions and pull-out beds for the junior and<br />

bunk bed. The PREMIUM collection also has slanted<br />

ladders and handles to make the climb to bed even safer.<br />

TIP!<br />

If you want a specific piece of accessory it<br />

can be an easy way of excluding certain beds<br />

and thereby make your choice easier.<br />

IF YOU WANT TO ADD THAT EXTRA OOMPH!<br />

Most go for a bed in neutral colors when buying a bed<br />

because it makes (re)decoration much easier. For others,<br />

however, a colorful bed is the number one dream. If<br />

your child dreams of a colorful bed we suggest that you<br />

look into the My Color collection on page 32. If you<br />

choose a colorful bed it could be a good idea to use<br />

neutral colors on the walls and other furniture as that<br />

can create a neat balance in the room.<br />

Another way of adding personality and atmosphere to a<br />

room is by decorating with pillows and textiles. The great<br />

thing about textiles is that they make it easy to change the<br />

style of a room. It also means that parts of a room can<br />

work great as a hand-me-down to a smaller sibling.<br />

Our textile universes are hand sewn and includes many<br />

different elements such as cute curtains, fun bean bags and<br />

soft pillows.<br />

BASIC – THE SIMPLE BED<br />

BASIC is the most popular beds and accessories put together in a cost-conscious<br />

collection. The design is simple and light, which adds an elegant touch to any<br />

room.<br />

The BASIC collection is for anyone who is looking for a simple choice and only<br />

wants a selection of possibilities for future modification.<br />

A good collection of the most popular models<br />

In BASIC you can find the most popular beds, such as the practical junior<br />

bed, the fun halfhigh bed – with or without a slide, the cozy canopy bed or the<br />

cleverly designed high bed with a desktop and lots of floor space underneath.<br />

Most of the models in BASIC are modular. This means that the bed is built<br />

using a junior bed as a base with a module attached to it.<br />

For instance, if you purchase a halfhigh bed you would be able to use it both<br />

as a junior bed and as a halfhigh bed, because the module is easy to attach or<br />

remove. A small selection of beds is also available in a non-divisible and costconscious<br />

edition.<br />

BASIC and PREMIUM meet<br />

or exceed all European security<br />

standards. They are the only<br />

modular bed systems in the world<br />

to obtain the Nordic Ecolabel.<br />

optimizing the space beneath the bed. The big, wide drawers are as deep<br />

as the bed. They come with or without an inserted division. The pull-out<br />

bed with built-in drawers is available in two different sizes: 90x160 cm,<br />

which utilizes the depth of the bed and 70x190, which is great if you do<br />

not have a lot of room in front of the bed. Both drawers and pull-out<br />

beds utilize the entire height under the bed.<br />

frame with flexible slats adds comfort and adjusts itself to the child’s<br />

body – even in periods with growing spurts.<br />

THEME: SLEEP WELL!<br />

It is a well-known fact that sleep is important for any human – big and small. In this theme you can read about why sleep<br />

is vital and learn more about what exactly the body is up to while we sleep. You can also find our top 5 for sleeping well<br />

and read about the pros and cons of co-sleeping and how to create the best foundation for a good night’s sleep.<br />

Our 5 best tips for a better sleep<br />

1. Decorate the bed for sleeping<br />

This can be quite a challenge, because the bed should be<br />

cozy and nice to be in without being too exciting. Place<br />

toys so it cannot be reached from the bed.<br />

2. Ensure high air quality and temperature<br />

Air out the room before bedtime and try to reach a<br />

temperature between 15-22 degrees in the room. Keep<br />

the room dark or with a dimmed light source.<br />

3. Make the evenings ”boring”<br />

Try to make the hours before bedtime a little “boring”<br />

by switching out the wild games, such as playing catch,<br />

tickle fights etc. with slower and more relaxing activities,<br />

such as reading, drawing, cuddling on the sofa or reading<br />

a book. If the child experiences an adrenalin rush right<br />

before bedtime it can be extremely difficult to fall asleep.<br />

4. Find the perfect routine for bedtime<br />

You have definitely heard this one before – but it is<br />

important, finding this routine. What isn’t important is<br />

the order – if the pajamas are on before the teeth are<br />

being brushed or not. Here, you have to figure out what<br />

is best for you. The routine should be relaxing for all<br />

parties involved, even though it can sometimes feel like<br />

a bit of a challenge.<br />

5. Make it cozy to wake up<br />

Even the best sleep can be ruined by being awoken in an<br />

uncomfortable manner. Try to create a good routine on<br />

waking up your child as it will help make your mornings<br />

cozier and getting out of the door easier. Here there is<br />

no single solution – listen to your child’s needs.<br />

THEME: SLEEP WELL!<br />

CO-SLEEPING - YES OR NO?<br />

Co-sleeping – when you sleep together in the same room,<br />

in the same bed or when the child sneaks in to cuddle<br />

during the night. This can be the best in the world for<br />

some, and a nightmare for others. There isn’t enough<br />

scientific evidence to claim co-sleeping better or worse<br />

than sleeping alone so it’s important to figure out what fits<br />

you the best.<br />

One of the advantages of co-sleeping with younger<br />

children is that you do not need to get too far away from<br />

bed to feed or comfort the child. This makes it easier for<br />

you to return to your sleep. There are, however, many<br />

things to consider when co-sleeping in the same bed as a<br />

small child. The child should not be placed between you<br />

and everyone in bed needs plenty of space.<br />

The children can experience comfort and an increased<br />

confidence in the surrounding world when co-sleeping<br />

with parents or siblings. Listening to a loved one’s breath<br />

or feel their heart beat, as well as the sensation of lying<br />

close makes the child feel protected and stimulates the<br />

hormone oxytocin, which increase the child’s confidence in<br />

the world. Co-sleeping also creates a lovely bond between<br />

the parents and the children.<br />

It is important to point out that the bond between you<br />

and your child as well as the confidence in the world can<br />

be established, even though the child is sleeping in their<br />

own room. Just make sure to support the feeling of safety<br />

by showing the child that you are nearby, even though<br />

they are alone in the room. Some parents choose to lie in<br />

the bed as the child is falling asleep. These things, paired<br />

with the opportunity to sneak in for a cuddle during the<br />

night or in the mornings gives you many of the benefits<br />

of co-sleeping.<br />

One of the biggest disadvantages of co-sleeping is that<br />

multiple people in one bed can disturb your sleep as you<br />

can be disturbed several times during the night. If you<br />

choose co-sleeping you should make sure your bed can<br />

fit many people at once and that everyone has their own<br />

pillow and duvet.<br />

This creates the best possibility for each person to regulate<br />

their own comfort and ability to regulate e.g. temperature<br />

during the night. As a parent you should also consider<br />

grown up time as part of considering co-sleeping. Make<br />

sure you still have the opportunity to spend time together<br />

and consider your needs. Your relationship is still important,<br />

even though the children’s needs are first priority.<br />

THEME: SLEEP WELL!<br />

THE EFFECT OF SLEEP<br />

We don’t need to tell you who important sleep is. As a<br />

parent you have probably experienced periods of time<br />

with an almost constant sleep deficiency and all the<br />

discomforts this will bring.<br />

But what happens in the body while we sleep? And why<br />

is sleep so important for us? Read this article to get the<br />

answers!<br />

Why is it important to sleep?<br />

If you wake up feeling rested and ready for a new day<br />

that means the body and brain is better prepared for a<br />

day full of experiences, decisions and challenges. The<br />

reason you feel this way is because the body has had time<br />

to do everything it needs to do during the night. While<br />

you are sleeping the body is working on preparing you<br />

for the next day.<br />

The sleep can be divided into four stages, which you<br />

will cycle through during the night: The light sleep, the<br />

medium sleep, the deep sleep and the REM sleep.<br />

If you wake up feeling refreshed it means the body as been<br />

through all four stages more than once and preferably in<br />

one coherent sleep. You cannot decide when to enter the<br />

different stages but there is some great news for the tired<br />

parents: When you are exhausted the body will utilize the<br />

stages more efficiently, which makes you able to survive<br />

on less sleep than normally.<br />

The cycle last between 90-110 minutes. The stages are the<br />

same for both children and adults, but the time spend in<br />

each phase is depending on your age.<br />

Stage 1 – the light sleep<br />

The light sleep is a transition stage between being awake<br />

and being asleep. In this stage, the body finds its peace<br />

and prepare itself for the cycle ahead. The muscles<br />

become more relaxed and the brain waves decrease in<br />

activity. Sometimes, you might feel a muscle twitch. This<br />

is entirely natural and probably occurs because the body<br />

cannot always control the transition between flexing the<br />

muscles and being relaxed.<br />

The light sleep is the shortest stages and last between<br />

5-10 minutes.<br />

Stage 2 – the medium sleep<br />

This stage could be described as part two of stage 1 as<br />

you are still experiencing light sleep and you are relatively<br />

easy to wake up. The body relaxes even further. This can<br />

be seen on especially your brain waves and they become<br />

slower and more gentle in their fluctuations. Eventually,<br />

you will lose contact with your consciousness. Adults<br />

usually spend half of their time asleep in this stage. For<br />

children it is far less, but it increases as they age.<br />

52


THEME: SLEEP WELL!<br />

Stage 3 – the deep sleep<br />

If you have ever been awoken from deep sleep you will<br />

most likely recognize a feeling of being groggy and<br />

confused. The brain can spend up to thirty minutes at<br />

half power before it finally wakes up.<br />

It is in the deep sleep where most things happen with<br />

your body. The body will restore skin, hair, nails and cells,<br />

improve your immune system, regulate your metabolism<br />

and repair damages. Children also produce growth<br />

hormones during the deep sleep, to ensure that the body<br />

grows and develops.<br />

It is also during this stage where you might pee in bed or<br />

walk and talk in your sleep.<br />

Stage 4 – REM sleep<br />

The REM sleep, or Rapid Eye Movement, is the stage<br />

where the brain repeats your experiences and the things<br />

you learn. The brain is very active and will cut off the<br />

signal to your muscles. The only movement is the eyes<br />

moving back and forth behind your eye-lids. Children<br />

experience REM sleep from when they are 6 months old.<br />

During the REM sleep the brain will store all the things<br />

you have learned and experienced during the day. It will<br />

move everything from the short-term memory to the<br />

long-term memory.<br />

This is an important stage as it will help your child<br />

experience a constant progress in development of their<br />

motor-skills, establishing relations to their surroundings,<br />

recognizing grandma and grandpa and much, much more.<br />

Your child’s need for sleep<br />

Children have different need for sleep depending on<br />

their age. Especially during the first year the infant<br />

will have a large need for sleep. These hours are only<br />

guidance and covers both naps and nighttime.<br />

Age<br />

Hours needed<br />

1-4 weeks 15-18 hours<br />

1-12 months 14-15 hours<br />

1-3 years 12-14 hours<br />

3-6 years 10-12 hours<br />

7-12 years 9-11 hours<br />

Source: sundshedsplejersken.dk<br />

We dream in this stage but we are also easy to wake up.<br />

This is why you might find yourself waking up in the<br />

middle of a dream.<br />

Because the REM sleep is where we process our learnings,<br />

it can explain the children’s big need for sleep, as they<br />

have a steep learning curve for various skills in a very<br />

short span of time. An adult spent approximately 20-25<br />

% of the night in the REM stage but sleeps far less than<br />

a child. A child can spend up to 50% of their time asleep<br />

in the REM stage.<br />

The need for REM sleep decrease during the first year but<br />

they do not reach 25% until adulthood.<br />

Furniture on wheels gives you a<br />

flexible and easy to clean room.<br />

Ecolabelled BASIC Halfhigh bed size 90x200 cm |Bookshelf on wheels|JONAS desk and drawers<br />

ROOM FOR BIG DREAMS<br />

- with movable furniture and clever solutions<br />

A children’s room has to accommodate a large span of<br />

activities. Some days, your child wants to read quietly in the<br />

bed or do homework at the desk. Other days, the room<br />

is full of energy and what feels like all of the toys will be<br />

spread out on the floor. This calls for a room with flexible<br />

solutions – especially in rooms where floor space is sparse.<br />

Furniture on wheels gives you flexibility<br />

Furniture on wheels makes it easy to re-organize the layout<br />

of the room, for instance, to create more floor space. The<br />

JONAS desk and the bookshelf on wheels both fit perfectly<br />

under the halfhigh bed.<br />

The lockable wheels enable bigger children to move the<br />

furniture on their own while ensuring that the furniture<br />

stands perfectly still when the wheels are locked. It also<br />

helps you maintain a healthier in-door climate in the room<br />

because the furniture can be moved out of the way so the<br />

vacuum cleaner can reach the corners.<br />

The flexible furniture makes it easy for you to have multiple<br />

functions in the same space. When the bookshelf on wheels<br />

is placed under the bed there is still room for a small cave<br />

behind it. The top of the bookshelf is the perfect height<br />

for a playing table while the desk can work as a night stand<br />

for the bed.<br />

Childhood treasures. The small,<br />

STOREY with desk - 100 cm wide and 90x200 flatbed.<br />

THE ROOM THAT TELLS A STOREY<br />

Storey is the new storage system from <strong>Hoppekids</strong>. It is flexible and<br />

therefore can accommodate all kinds of children’s rooms and fit<br />

your exact needs.<br />

The true heroes in the children’s room are the toys and the teddy<br />

bears, the holiday pictures and that thingy you found in the forest<br />

in the fall. That’s why Storey is kept in a simple and clean design<br />

because it helps to highlight all the things you like. Storey is therefore<br />

the perfect “showcase” for all the colorful toys.<br />

The many combinations and accessories for Storey make it a longlasting<br />

and sustainable solution because the storage system can<br />

evolve as your child’s needs develop. For example, you can add a<br />

desk to get a workspace or you can add a bed to get a lounge area<br />

in the room.<br />

The system is built one subject at a time. Two subjects share a side<br />

and therefore take up less waste than two shelves that stand next to<br />

each other. Shelves and other accessories can be places at any height<br />

you want – because there are 56 different positions on the shelves.<br />

Everything it fixed, giving a stable and durable storage system.<br />

The design for Storey fits perfectly with other <strong>Hoppekids</strong> furniture<br />

and especially the BASIC series.<br />

TIP!<br />

Make Storey fit perfectly in the<br />

room by mixing different widths.<br />

If you add a bed or a desk, you<br />

have a multifunctional children’s<br />

room with plenty of floor space<br />

for play and trouble making!<br />

58


STOREY with desks in sizes 80 cm and 100 cm.<br />

One for every size!<br />

Storey is available in width 80 cm and 100 cm. You<br />

can mix and match and thereby decide the total<br />

width of your Storey. With 56 posistions for shelves<br />

and support bars, you really can fit nearly everything<br />

in your Storey and let the desk keep up with your<br />

child’s growth!<br />

This shelf refuse to tip!<br />

Ususally, the whole idea of not tipping<br />

is frown upon, but when dealing with<br />

tall shelves in a child’s room it’s pretty<br />

important. Of course, any Storey<br />

combination comes with easy to mount<br />

and adjust security features.<br />

Desk-ception...<br />

Is it a fantastic new invention? Not really, but it is probably your child’s<br />

new favourite place. The desk module can be placed at any height, making<br />

it perfect for a work station - or maybe the world’s coolest engineering lab<br />

or fashion designer office!<br />

Easy to use locking system<br />

The smart and easy to use locking system allows you<br />

to quickly built and re-arrange your Storey. Shelves,<br />

desk and other accessories are easily and securely<br />

fastened to the side-support. It’s really as easy as<br />

tightening a screw! Just be sure to lock all of them,<br />

it’s the secret to building this, after all.<br />

storage for things like toys, plastic balls and similar inside the<br />

bench. The bench has rounded off notch handles and soft close<br />

that makes it harder for fingers to get caught when closing the<br />

lid. You can decorate MATHILDE with cushions available in<br />

many different colors. This ensures both comfort and coziness!<br />

THEME: STORAGE<br />

The (treasure) chest<br />

If you want a versatile piece of furniture for storage<br />

and playtime then the shelf unit is perfect. It can<br />

skate around using its wheels or it can stay perfectly<br />

still when the wheels are locked. It has plenty of<br />

storage space and the top surface is large enough to<br />

use as a playing table.<br />

The question is: What would you like to use it for?<br />

Where do you hide your child treasures? In your toy<br />

chest, of course! The chest is pretty (and) practical<br />

and can easily contain piles of toy treasures. Because<br />

of its wheels, it can easily be moved around which<br />

is practical if you have to redecorate the room. The<br />

chest also has rounded off notch handles and soft<br />

close that makes it harder for fingers to get caught<br />

when the lid is closing.<br />

PRINCESS DREAMS<br />

- with Fairytale Flower<br />

Is the best thing in the world to climb the<br />

princess tower and behold the kingdom? Or<br />

to host a teddy bear tea party in the royal<br />

chambers below the grand balcony? Fairytale<br />

Flower is a wonderful opportunity for your child<br />

to frolic in beautiful pink surroundings that fit<br />

your little princess or prince perfectly. You’ll have<br />

to bring the pumpkin chariot yourself, but the<br />

ballroom has been decorated with this universe.<br />

HONOR AND PILLOWS<br />

- with Fairytale Knight<br />

When dragons, trolls and giants<br />

besiege your castle, this universe<br />

is ideal. The King or Queen can<br />

sit comfortably on the throne in the feast hall<br />

because no one will ever break these boulder<br />

walls. Though at times the tallest tower will need<br />

to be defended from fire breathing dragons or<br />

giants who think it is time to go to sleep. Good<br />

thing the armory is full of pillows!<br />

- a guide to a great shared children’s room<br />

There can be many reasons for having a shared<br />

children’s room in your home.<br />

Perhaps you want a room for playtime and another<br />

for sleeping in. Maybe a shared room is necessary<br />

because you need space. Sometimes the children<br />

just don’t want to sleep alone and at other times the<br />

shared room is a great way to teach the children some<br />

valuable life skills.<br />

We have gathered a bunch of considerations that can<br />

help you if you are about to put two children in one<br />

room or are considering it.<br />

One times two or two times one?<br />

The first you should consider is who you are<br />

furnishing and decorating for. Is it two social dress-up<br />

whippersnappers or an introvert tech geek and an<br />

outgoing adventurer? The room has to be able to hold<br />

two – perhaps different – personalities.<br />

You should take a look at your children and what<br />

individual and common needs they have and furnish<br />

the room with that in mind. The distribution of space<br />

doesn’t necessarily have to be equal – though still fair<br />

– if for instance one child would rather play in your<br />

living room anyway.<br />

”I like that they’re learning to take<br />

responsibility for each other’s and our<br />

common things”<br />

- Annemette Voss, mother of 3<br />

Efficient furniture<br />

If space is an issue, it is necessary to furnish efficiently<br />

and make use of every bit of space in the room.<br />

Efficient furnishing can be using multifunctional<br />

pieces of furniture which for instance is a bench with<br />

storage in it. It can also be by using foldable furniture<br />

or pieces of furniture that can be hid away so you get<br />

that valuable floor space for playtime when you need t.<br />

68


Beds can also be space efficient which is practical when<br />

you need two of them. You can do this by choosing<br />

halfhigh, high or bunk beds with space beneath the top<br />

bunk for either playtime or a sibling. Junior beds are also<br />

an option with their slightly smaller measurements being<br />

70x160 cm. They can give you more floor space than<br />

a regular sized bed, and can also be found in different<br />

taller versions.<br />

Efficient furnishing is also about vertical storage. Shelves,<br />

bookcases and room dividers are great at making use of<br />

the topmost space for the essential storage of toys or<br />

other important items.<br />

Top 5 advice decorating a shared room<br />

1. Consider the children’s personal needs when<br />

you furnish. Often, you don’t have room for<br />

unnecessary pieces of furniture<br />

2. Create spaces in the room where the children can<br />

be by themselves but also spaces where they can<br />

be social<br />

3. A clear division of toys or the room will give you<br />

fewer misunderstandings concerning ownership.<br />

4. Decide whether the children’s clothes or toys can<br />

be stored in another room.<br />

5. Try the shared room for a period of time even<br />

though you don’t have to. It might be great!<br />

If you read our article “Good things come in small<br />

packages” on page 30 concerning furnishing a small<br />

children’s room, you can get great tips on making use of<br />

a room’s every centimeter.<br />

An advantageous room<br />

Having a shared room is not just a long series of<br />

challenges and battles. There are a lot of advantages<br />

having your brother or sister close at hand.<br />

First and foremost, a large room can feel even larger<br />

when you yourself are a bit small and especially smaller<br />

children can find comfort in having a sibling sleeping in<br />

the same room. With a little practice, the children can<br />

learn to sleep even though another person is moving<br />

around or if there is light in the room. This is very<br />

handy later in life. And you almost always have a<br />

playmate nearby!<br />

Having a shared room, your children also have a head<br />

start in learning to compromise and sharing their stuff.<br />

Because when you share a room, you have to be able<br />

to share your things and learn that you can’t always get<br />

your way.<br />

”It contributes to strengthening the bond<br />

between siblings, and they become good at<br />

sharing their toys and perhaps even better at<br />

playing together”<br />

- Sine Grenaa, mother of 2<br />

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CHILDR<strong>EN</strong><br />

<strong>Hoppekids</strong> is a universe for the children. Everything we do<br />

is about them and all of our activities have the shared goal<br />

of making the world a better place for them. The children<br />

are the reason we create high quality furniture, focus on<br />

sustainability and provide a helping hand for children<br />

all over the world. What is the point of supporting the<br />

children if we do not leave a healthy world for them to<br />

live in?<br />

Because it is all about the children, it is automatically also<br />

about the world we hand over to them. However, furniture<br />

alone cannot save the world. We need more helping hands<br />

to create ripples in the surface.<br />

Where to start?<br />

If we want to change the world, we have to start with<br />

ourselves. That is why we have worked on optimizing our<br />

company and our products. By producing FSC® (FSC-<br />

C109484)--certified and Nordic Ecolabeled furniture and<br />

textiles from Oeko-Tex® certified piece goods we make<br />

a difference in safety and health in the children’s room.<br />

Through the furniture we support the environment and<br />

sustainability in the world where our children are growing<br />

up.<br />

We consider a healthy organization as a fundament of<br />

being able to help. Every day we work on creating an<br />

economic foundation which enables us to create real<br />

change through continued support.<br />

It’s about getting involved<br />

As a company we help through economical support.<br />

However, it is our philosophy that it is incredibly useful<br />

to help those who help the children. Therefore we work<br />

with several projects and initiatives that has a focus on<br />

creating a lasting difference for the people who fight for<br />

children firsthand.<br />

”I want to reach a place where our support<br />

works as a lever for other people’s ideas and<br />

commitment and motivate more to help”<br />

René Stenvang, founder of <strong>Hoppekids</strong><br />

We are sustainable together<br />

It is our hope that our help, support and sustainable<br />

initiatives create ripples in the surface and inspire people<br />

to do the same – regardless of how much or how little<br />

you are able to do. We are strongest if we stand together<br />

to help and support each other with carrying the load.<br />

We support several local foodball clubs in Denmark<br />

because they are a fantastic symbol on all the volunteers<br />

in the world who put a lot of energy and time in helping.<br />

Not just helping the local communities, but also helping<br />

the children and those who have a difficult life. At<br />

Hammerum Special Olympics is the weekly exercise and<br />

the volunteer’s efforts helping their disabled players to<br />

create a better, healthier life with more friendships. The<br />

self-esteem is boosted because the team allow for anyone<br />

to participate regardless of skill level. Consequently, this<br />

also means that bullying is virtually as non-existing.<br />

” We can all contribute a little in our day<br />

to day life. It is the sum of all the small<br />

things which really creates a difference”<br />

René Stenvang, founder of <strong>Hoppekids</strong><br />

We believe that the big changes in sustainability come<br />

from a multitude of small changes in our day to day life.<br />

By changing the small things and helping where you can.<br />

Because if everyone of us make a small contribution<br />

whenever we can, find the passion in ourselves and give<br />

more than we take then we collaborate on making the<br />

future even better – for us and our children.<br />

”It motivates when you can see the passion<br />

in the eyes of those who create a real<br />

difference first hand. Feel their gratitude<br />

for helping them. This boosts their<br />

motivation and power to do even more”<br />

René Stenvang, founder of <strong>Hoppekids</strong><br />

www.hoppekids.com<br />

As with the football clubs, we believe that the many<br />

international relief organizations are amazing at creating<br />

ripples in the surface and as a result making the world<br />

a better place. Besides Save the Children we have also<br />

fallen completely for DINNødhjælp and their founder<br />

Anja Lovén’s work for the witch children in Nigeria. For<br />

DINNødhjælp it is not just about operating a life-saving<br />

orphanage for exposed children. They are determined to<br />

support, enlighten and change the society and, ultimately,<br />

the culture which create the tale of these witch children.<br />

They are changing the world for the better.<br />
