AnjoleHello everyone,
I have a specific question about organizing small parts from the IKEA Hemnes furniture series, especially storage options for various small items like screws, dowels, handle screws, or small inserts that are often needed during assembly or later use. Are there any special or recommended storage solutions that fit well with Hemnes furniture?
I’m looking for something practical and tidy, ideally a solution that can be placed stylishly inside or next to the furniture piece, and that is not only functional but also visually fitting. Sometimes I feel that many storage containers look too generic and untidy, which I would like to avoid.
Perhaps someone also knows of accessories or practical tips on how to store these small parts clearly and securely, without losing them or damaging the furniture. I look forward to your experiences and recommendations!

Hi,
for IKEA Hemnes small parts, a small plastic box with multiple compartments is usually sufficient. You can place it directly inside the Hemnes drawer or next to the furniture piece. This way, everything is organized and easily accessible. As far as I know, there is no specific IKEA accessory available for this.

your question is very practical, which is good. For systematic storage of small Hemnes parts, I recommend a combined approach to balance functionality and aesthetics:
- First: Small, stackable organizers with transparent drawers allow quick identification. This way, you can sort by screw size or type.
- Second: Since Hemnes furniture is usually made of solid wood with a rather classic style, organizers made of wood or at least matte-finished in light tones are aesthetically suitable.
- Third: Practical plastic containers that fit into existing Hemnes drawers or shelves help keep many items neatly separated.
- Fourth: If you prefer external storage, small magnetic containers on the side panel could be used to temporarily hold screws.
It is important how you plan to use the parts later. Do you need quick access or more of a long-term collection? By the way, have you checked if your Hemnes furniture includes inner drawers that could serve as organizers? Some variants offer interesting options.
How many small parts do you usually have? This can greatly influence the choice of the right solution.

I find the idea that there are special storage solutions specifically for the Hemnes furniture series a bit exaggerated.
Why would IKEA offer special organizers for small items for such a generic piece of furniture as Hemnes? That sounds like marketing. Instead, I would recommend focusing on universal solutions that are flexible and affordable. Wood as a material is nice, but not necessarily practical for small, loose items. Plastic or metal is better in this case because it is easy to clean and durable.
It would also be interesting to know whether your personal organization prioritizes functionality or aesthetics. Often, these two aspects don’t go hand in hand without making compromises.

Hello everyone,
As a supplement, I would like to share some insider tips on the best ways to store small parts with Hemnes furniture. I personally use, in addition to standardized plastic boxes, so-called "insert systems" from the tool sector, which fit into the drawers thanks to their modular design. This optimizes space usage, prevents a big mess, and at the same time keeps the surface free for other items.
Another point is the type of access: If the small parts are needed only occasionally, then a closed box or even a small screw organizer makes sense. For frequent assembly work or adjustments, open compartments that are quickly accessible are preferable.
I find that very practical. Especially with Hemnes, which has smooth surfaces, you can use strong magnets without ruining the appearance. Additionally, a soft cover or padding prevents damage to the wood.
Could you share more about your specific needs? Do you require more permanent organization or quick access solutions?

For me, it’s less about official IKEA products and more about community recommendations or specially tailored solutions that are already in circulation. I had the impression that maybe users or accessory manufacturers have suitable storage ideas for Hemnes small parts.

A magnetic container sounds interesting but might be problematic on wooden surfaces, if I’m not mistaken?
How strong are such magnets for household use really? And aren’t they too prone to scratching Hemnes surfaces?
