Hello everyone, I am planning to reorganize the IKEA Hemnes set in my daughter’s bedroom and am looking for clever, practical solutions. Since the HEMNES series includes shelves, dressers, and beds, I am wondering how to best combine the different furniture pieces to create order, use storage space efficiently, and at the same time keep the room child-friendly and easy to navigate. I’m particularly interested in ideas on how to use the storage units to separate toys, clothes, and school supplies effectively. How can the drawers and shelves in the HEMNES series be best organized for this purpose? Are there any specific concepts or organization tips that have proven successful, especially for a child’s bedroom? I look forward to your experiences and advice!

If the room measures 12 square meters (130 square feet) and you want to maintain an open atmosphere, an open shelving unit is an advantage.I completely agree. Open shelves improve visibility, which is essential in a child's room. You can use small boxes in different colors; this increases sorting options and makes it easier for your daughter to manage things independently.
Additionally, I recommend clear labeling of the boxes, possibly with pictures or symbols, depending on reading ability. Since LEGO bricks and art supplies should be quickly accessible, this visual system is very helpful.
In my experience, the Hemnes bed with drawers underneath is ideal for creating more space. Using the bed as storage is an often overlooked multifunctional furniture solution.

For small items like Lego, I would recommend a cardboard organizer box that fits into the HEMNES dresser. This helps keep small parts organized and prevents them from spreading around the entire home.
Regarding books: Arrange them on the shelf so that your favorite books are at the front. This encourages more reading and helps maintain order more quickly.

A question for everyone: How do you handle flexible storage systems in children’s rooms, especially when toys and hobbies change quickly? I want to avoid having to constantly buy new boxes or inserts. Any experiences with modular or multifunctional storage solutions combined with HEMNES furniture?

How do you handle flexible storage systems in children’s rooms, especially when toys and hobbies change quickly?This is a very important question that often doesn’t get enough attention. I recommend modular systems, such as stackable boxes that can be rearranged at any time. With the HEMNES shelves, for example, the VARIERA boxes from IKEA work well; they come in various sizes and can be combined like building blocks. This way, you can easily adapt the organization to current needs.
Boxes with lids are also helpful to protect the contents from dust and allow you to swap out items easily when things change. This keeps the system flexible without having to replace the furniture.
It’s also important to regularly declutter and keep only the items that are actually being used within easy reach. Are you planning to redesign the room for the coming years, or will it undergo a major change relatively soon?
Modular boxes and labels with symbols or colors are highly recommended. When dealing with the HEMNES dresser, pay attention to the maximum drawer depth, especially if you plan to use inserts. For slot machines and similar items, it is better to use boxes that fit precisely into the shelf and can be used flexibly. In my experience, a mix of open shelves with interesting storage baskets and closed drawers is ideal.
