Hello everyone, I have a rather specific question regarding the use of Ikea Hemnes furniture in rental apartments. Since this furniture series is often made of solid wood and comes with a certain weight and size, I am wondering how to best use it without causing problems when moving out or with rental conditions (such as the lack of possibilities to fix items to walls or limited permission for alterations), or ending up with the furniture just standing around unused. Specifically, I am interested in:
- Are there proven methods to use Hemnes furniture flexibly and in a way that is gentle on the back?
- How can they be adapted for rental apartments without making structural changes?
- What alternatives or additions can improve the functionality of the Hemnes series in small or temporary living spaces?
I look forward to your practical tips and experiences!

I can fully understand that the weight of Hemnes furniture can be an issue, especially in rental apartments. I also found it challenging, but I managed by buying smaller pieces and customizing their colors so they work well as decorative elements. Additionally, I used flexible storage units on casters that fit neatly under the Hemnes shelves. This makes it easier to move when necessary.

Use of free-standing modules that can be placed flexibly.That definitely sounds reasonable. Are there specific Hemnes modules you would particularly recommend for their flexibility?

For use in small rooms, multifunctional furniture (e.g., dressers with shelving units on top) is ideal to make the most of the available space.How exactly would you design such a "multifunctional" dresser? And does anyone have experience with the drawers if you move frequently?

It is convenient that both parts are relatively easy to separate, which makes handling easier during a move. The drawers are sturdy and withstand moving well, as long as they are not overfilled. For added flexibility, it is also recommended to install furniture feet with casters under the chests of drawers, which improves transport and room adaptability.

They are a great advantage, especially in rental apartments where flexibility is important.
Additionally, Hemnes dressers combined with a few baskets can create a mobile storage system that can be moved around effortlessly.
