Hello everyone, I’m currently thinking about how to customize the popular IKEA Hemnes furniture pieces a bit more individually without having to buy expensive designer items.
Are there any DIY tips or proven methods to personalize Hemnes dressers or cabinets so that they better suit both the visual style and functional needs of the user?
I’m considering modifications like custom handles, special surface treatments, or creative painting. It would also be interesting to hear how others modernize the rather classic style of Hemnes or add a personal touch.
Looking forward to your suggestions and experiences!

You can also do quite a bit with paint: clear varnish makes surfaces feel like new, or you can use chalk paint to create, for example, a kind of shabby-chic look.Thanks for the tip, I find the shabby-chic look quite interesting!
Could you or someone else perhaps explain in more detail how to achieve this without the result looking too overdone?
And one more follow-up question: How durable are these paint finishes, especially on furniture that gets daily use?
I appreciate any details because I definitely don’t want the finish to peel off after a short time or clash with the overall room design.
