Hello everyone, I have an issue with my IKEA Hemnes furniture. I noticed that the drawers and doors are quite noisy when opening and closing, which can be especially disturbing during quiet moments or at night. Are there any proven techniques, materials, or tricks to make Hemnes furniture quieter? I’m not only thinking about rubber or felt strips but also potential modifications to the furniture itself or special lubricants for the sliding mechanisms. I’m looking forward to your experiences and recommendations, as I really appreciate the furniture but would like to reduce the noise.
Hi Tese66, that sounds like a great plan! I also experimented a bit with my Hemnes. A great tip: if you use this foam rubber or self-adhesive foam, it’s very soft and highly effective. I managed to make entire drawers quieter, no more squeaking, and the closing is much smoother. Small silicone rings or dampers that you can attach to the doors also help a lot. That makes a big difference!
Have fun testing it out, a little tinkering is definitely worth it!

Here is a small tip that is often overlooked: Make sure that furniture stands flush with the floor and does not wobble. A shaky cabinet can cause additional noise. Use furniture glides or small adjustable feet to level it.
Summary for everyone who wants to reduce the noise of Hemnes furniture:
- Check and tighten screws
- Use felt or rubber buffers on doors and drawers
- Apply silicone spray to lubricate sliding and hinge mechanisms
- Consider high-quality, soft-closing drawer slides
- Align and stabilize the furniture to prevent wobbling
These measures should cover everything. This will make the furniture quieter without major modifications.
