Hello everyone, I am planning to furnish my small bathroom with furniture from the Ikea Hemnes series but have no idea how to do this without making the space feel overcrowded or cramped. Are there any experienced users who have tips or tricks, especially for the Hemnes furniture in small bathrooms? I am particularly looking for advice on making the most of the limited space, color schemes, and possibly installation or adjustments to fit the room size. I would appreciate any suggestions!
Thank you for the detailed description, pauto. For a bathroom of this size, I can recommend the following:
- Choose the smaller version of the Hemnes vanity unit, if available.
- Use a mirror with an integrated cabinet to save space for small items.
- Use light colors not only for furniture but also for walls and tiles.
- If needed, shelves or hooks can be installed on free wall space to keep towels within easy reach.
- If the flooring color matches, a slight contrast to the white Hemnes series is recommended to avoid monotony.
I know space is limited, but with these tips, the room should feel open and functional.

For a room size of 2.5 x 1.8 meters (8.2 x 5.9 feet), I recommend the following considerations: The Hemnes dresser works very well as a vanity cabinet, but it is important to precisely match its dimensions with the bathroom fixtures. Install the cabinets as flush as possible with the walls to avoid space loss caused by narrow gaps. Additionally, keep in mind:
- The depth of Hemnes dressers is often 48 cm (19 inches), which may be too large for small bathrooms; alternative models with a smaller depth should be evaluated.
- Electrical outlets and water connections should be adjusted before installation, as the furniture is largely fixed in place.
- For towels and cleaning supplies, side wall cabinets or Hemnes shelves that complement the series can be useful, provided there is enough wall space.
The effect of colors: White, as in the classic Hemnes style, or cream-light shades, helps to enhance the sense of space.

I mainly need storage space for towels, cleaning supplies, and a few personal hygiene items.In that case, you should choose cabinets that offer flexibility through a combination of drawers and cupboard compartments. Hemnes provides this, but it’s important to carefully check the internal dimensions for cleaning supplies, considering bottles and containers. Also crucial: pay attention to the door hinge direction to avoid blocking the space when doors are opened. If possible, I would also add a narrow laundry bin or a small stool with storage underneath to make the most of the available space.
