Good morning everyone,
I am planning to furnish my guest room with IKEA Hemnes furniture and would like to know the best ways to adapt it specifically for this room.
I am mainly interested in how to modify or combine the individual pieces in terms of functionality and design to make the most efficient use of the space while still creating a welcoming atmosphere. Are there clever modifications, useful additions, or DIY ideas you would recommend?
I am also interested in practical aspects such as storage, lighting, and material compatibility.
How can I best tailor the HEMNES series to meet the needs of a guest room without losing the classic design but still optimizing the use of the space?
Looking forward to your tips!

A practical modification of the IKEA HEMNES furniture for the guest room mainly involves integrating multifunctional solutions.
For example, the HEMNES bed frame can be equipped with drawers under the sleeping surface to provide additional storage space for bedding or guest supplies. These drawers are relatively easy to retrofit.
It is also advisable to add inserts or dividers to dressers or nightstands to help keep things organized.
Surfaces can be treated with wipeable varnishes to make the furniture more resistant to dirt.
Color adjustments can be made carefully, for instance by using colored handles or contrasting decorations, to avoid a monotonous look while preserving the characteristic HEMNES appearance.

In line with tra_nina’s comments, I’d like to add that the well-known HEMNES shelves are also a good option for guest rooms, especially since their adjustable shelves can be flexibly adapted to different sized storage items.
Another idea is to enhance the classic HEMNES bed with an additional slatted frame that can hold a mattress in a standard size, providing maximum comfort for guests.
Optional inspection openings are useful, allowing the furniture to be quickly disassembled or transported when needed, which is practical for occasional use in a guest room.

Hi everyone!
I think the HEMNES series has a really charming country style that feels especially cozy for a guest room. To customize it, you could break up the classic white with some colorful accessories, like coordinating bedding and cushions, to make the room feel more lively.
What I also like is that the HEMNES desk model could easily be used as a storage surface, basically like a sideboard, and decorated with plants – this adds a lot of life and creates a welcoming atmosphere.
In addition, natural material storage baskets placed under the drawers are a simple DIY addition for the guest room.
Sometimes it’s the little things that make the room a truly special retreat for guests!

Combine with the HEMNES dresser for additional surface space.
Add color accents with handles or decorations.
This keeps the design cohesive and the room practical.

If you already have HEMNES furniture or are planning to buy some, I recommend measuring the room very carefully first.
This way, you can decide precisely which piece fits best without overcrowding the space, as some HEMNES dressers are quite bulky.
The idea of drawers is great—I have a HEMNES daybed with a pull-out slatted frame in my guest room, which serves both as a sleeping and seating area.
If you’re handy, you might consider lightly sanding the furniture surface and applying a different paint that better matches your color scheme. Water-based paints work well for this.
If you like, I can also provide tips on how to install simple LED lighting under shelves, which takes up little space and creates a nice atmosphere.
